Module development and code questions

Hi,
I created a new node type, and have a few custom fields on the 'add' node page. I would like to disable some of the options on this add page that don't make sense for my node type. How do I do that? In particular I don't want the comments, menu, path, and attachments sections to even show for this node type. Is there a way to make that happen?

Thanks,

Hey all,

Drupal newb here. I'm working on the internal website for my company and I wanted to get some advice. I am trying to implement a "Current Jobs" page so that the company can track installation jobs and certain users can change the status of each job. I guess what I'm asking is what do you think would be the best way to implement this.

Is it possible to have a module that is installed multiple times on the same Drupal site? We are currently using a bibliography module and we would like to have two instances of the module. How would I go about this?

Thanks,
Kyle

Hello,

I am going through the examples in the new Pro Drupal Dev. book and can get the example Annotate module to show up, but I cannot get the annotate.install function to run. No table is being built. I have installed other modules and they worked fine, just not this one.

I also checked a few other small modules for reference and they seem to all follow the same flow and all haev the same permissions.

Any even tried this?

I am not even getting the error/status messages.

Here is the code I am using:

----------------------------------

<?php
// $Id$

function annotate_install() {
drupal_set_message(t('Beginning installation of annotate module.'));
switch ($GLOBALS['db_type']) {
case 'mysql':
case 'mysqli':
db_query("CREATE TABLE {annotations} (
uid int(21) NOT NULL default 0,
nid int(21) NOT NULL default 0,
note longtext NOT NULL,
timestamp int(11) NOT NULL default 0,
PRIMARY KEY (uid, nid)
) /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 */;");
$success = TRUE;
break;

default:
drupal_set_message(t('Unsupported database.'));
}

if ($success) {
drupal_set_message(t('The module installed tables successfully.'));
}
else {
drupal_set_message(t('The installation of the annotate module was unsuccessful.'),'error');

in the internet explorer only the popup blocker block the open the new window, in firefox will allow the link to a new window

so please help me to find the real solution to that problem

Hello

I would like to create a dynamic menu in function of values which are contain in the profile_values table. I'm searching a way to define the parent item in hook_menu where I would like to place this item. I cannot do this manually because I don't know which values will be in the Database. By default all item go into the default menu "Navigation" and I would like to place it in a custom menu "Application".

This code display the item in "Navigation":
