Module development and code questions

If anyone is interested, I have some experimental code out there for drawing panels using OAT windows.
The Panels once drawn get submitted to the panel module by writing a '.inc' and a 'css' file to the layouts directory under Panels.

The panels layouts directory has to be opened up for writing, by setting permissions.

I'm new to Drupal, enjoying it thus far.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a module that allowed me to have users be automatically assigned into a role group based on their e-mail domain name (the site is one for a group of colleges, so I'd like a group for each school's students). I found Role Signup, which gives me a good starting point if I need to custom-code this, but I figured I'd see if there was one I missed that already does it.

Cheers,

Hello:

I have developed several custom forms and am saving the values to a database. However, I'm not quite sure how to get the values of the Select boxes. Supposed I have the following:

Hi,
I've added the patch and don't have any errors on my page.
The problem is that once i've done this, the menu module disappears from my Site building section inside my administrator interface?

The other thing that i don't understand is that, when i give a menu item to a role and then log in
with the user associated with this role i have access to the whole menu module.

Could anyone help please.

The link block show both 'attach' and 'create new' nodes options. But what if you want only the 'attach' options to shown for one content type and 'create new' option for another content type? Any snippets around?

Example:
Mother (parent) and Daughter (children) setup using node relativity. From the mother node you can create a daughter and from the duagther you'll see the link to who's the mother. That's ok!

We have the following site

www.donortec.com.au

We are looking to enhance the site so that user can becom more aware of important information.

We have installed a panels so that we can display more content on the frontpage, but it isn't enough.

We have a whole bunch of 1 sentance/prase's we would like to be displayed in a rotating flash banner. Which would be called "tips" or "important information"
