Module development and code questions

Hi all,

I am using Ecommerce and userpoints modules.How can i have userpoints to purchase a product and not for shipping. For shipping normal payment gateway to be use.

Can any body help me?

thanks in advance.

I cannot get TQL to work for me properly. I have a view with many nodes and if I add the view as a filter, it will filter all nodes by default without anything entered. The result is that all nodes are filtered and nothing displayed. How can I have the TQL filter view skip the filtering unless something is entered in the filter field? I hope somebody has figured something out!

Hi.
I'd like to change some things in comment module:

1. the author of a comment is displayed as:

[date] - [name] (not verified)

and i'd like it like that:

[name] - [date]

2. i'd like to remove a link "replay", so that users can comment just a content, not other comments.

3. on the "add new comment" form there are Your name, E-mail, Homepage and Comment. And I'd like to leave just name and comment.

4. i dont want formatting options to be displayed ;)

Please help, i'm a total newbie and have no idea how to make those things.

I am creating a new content type-Article using cck. I dont want the defaults fields and options provided by drupal in the create content form. How to do that, any suggestions..

Is there a complete working example on this site showing how to implement a form - from a beginners perspective?

I have found numerous snippets and conflicting best practices and it leaves me quite confused. I understand the there is a forms API so I'm not asking for the customary link back to that part of the site.

A step by step, complete example would be excellent.
