Module development and code questions

hi everyone.. im creating my own module and im using drupal_js which loads a textarea if 1 is selected in the select box. my problem is i cant store the data in my textarea into my database. how do i solve it?

thanks..

here is my module code:

<?php
// $Id$

/**
* @file
* Provides a "daily report" node type.
*/

/**
* Implementation of hook_node_info().
*/
function dailyreport_node_info() {
return array(
'dailyreport' => array(
'name' => t('Daily Report'), // Required.
'module' => 'dailyreport', // Required.
'description' => t('Submit or view daily reports'), // Required.
'has_title' => TRUE,
'title_label' => t('Module Name')
)
);
}

/**
* Implementation of hook_menu().
*/
function dailyreport_menu($may_cache) {
$items = array();

// Do not cache this menu item during the development of this module.
if (!$may_cache) {
$items[] = array(
'path' => 'node/add/dailyreport',
'title' => t('Daily Report'),
'access' => user_access('submit or view daily reports'),
);
}

return $items;
}

/**
* Implementation of hook_access().
*/
function dailyreport_access($op, $node) {
global $user;

if ($op == 'create') {
return (user_access('submit report'));
}

if ($op == 'update' || $op == 'delete') {

Is there an easy way (or some module to download) that separates the username login field into two: one used to login, and another that is shown on the site as the username. E.g. log in with five-letter simple-written "arnie", but shown on the site is "Arnold B. von Schwartsbeggar-Kopfenheim". (Without needing to type that long name including correct spelling and capital letters every login.) This also increases security, since people's login names are never shown and thus, like an extra password.

My files/images/import directory is in place.
I did a chmod 777 on every file and directory under files including files and I cannot get this image import module to work.

I want to limit a view access and its menu for a Role.
For exemple i want to see nodes that are in a particular state.
State field is only visible for a Moderator role.

I created my view and check my Moderator role in Access bloc, but when i log out i can see the menu link and the view content.

Is there something that i miss ?
