Module development and code questions

Hi,

I want to build a module that updates an external DB whenever a user updates their profile. I need to know if/how I can hook into the profile update process. The only solution I was able to come up with is to 'hack' the profile.module to include my update code. I personally feel that is not a 'clean' solution and would like to know if there is a better way to achieve this.

Also is it possible to hook into node saving? I would also like to save the updated information from nodes (mostly cck created ones) to an external DB.

Thanks for the guidance,

ok im gona try and explain this the best i can i have a site in which people can download themes, skins ect from different categories i use the "View" modual to allow sortying by Title, Author Name & Hits the categories are show as below

I would to print the node_add form to make a pop-up node submit.

mymodule_menu($maycache){

 $items[]=array(
         'path' => 'mymodule/add' ,
         'callback' => 'mymodule_page'
      );
 return $items;
}


function mymodule_page(){

 print node_add('story');

}

The problem is that no css/js is loaded.

Any suggestion ?

Hi everyone...

I want to ask if i can setup multiple blogs in drupal?

my site will have multiple people contributing to several topics of interest.
I thought each topic of interest would best be served as a blog. so say 10 people with permisions to be adding to 5 blogs... like this site

note the 5 tabs running across the top all linking to different subject blogs, i know this site was built with drupal but i don't know how.

I have subscribed users, or they have subscribed themselves and already used Simplenews successfully to send the newsletter.

Now, however, I have created a second newsletter. I have subscribed a list through "import subscribers", but after i have sent a test newsletter to the test address I noticed that there are NO subscribers assigned any more. Strange.

I noticed this problem "went away" when I deleted this newsletter altogether and created a new one. A drupal developer suggested that the names of the newsletters were too similar and a mix up was occurring?

Hi, there, Drupallers.

I'm trying to create a sort of per-piece review module in order to make it easier for artists to review stuff. What it means, though, is that I need to be able to create a node using information in a form that I made, without reloading a page.

Is there a tutorial for that sort of thing? I know nothing whatsoever about JavaScript/Ajax and so I don't know where to begin. Any pointers?

Thanks,
Rory
