Module development and code questions

Easy question: what am I missing because it doesn't call _validate nor _submit?

I need Drumm's Recommended Nodes module for a site I'm setting up, it hasn't been upgraded yet from 4.7 to 5.1, and isn't scheduled to be upgraded in the near future. I'm not a programmer and haven't been able to do the upgrade myself. I got lost trying to follow the upgrade directions.

(This is not the same module as the CRE (Content Recommendation) module and doesn't do the same thing, by the way. Drumm's module allows members to hit a button in the sidebar and directly recommend posts as "the best on the site and recommended reading." It also calculates when a recommendation was made, and then reduces the value of the recommendation over time based on an admin-set initial point value.

In other words, a recommendation might have an initial value of 10 points. After four hours, that recommendation is reduced down to 8 points. After eight hours, it goes down to half its value, and after 36 hours zeroes out. This means that unless new votes keep coming in for that post being "recommended," it will after a few hours move down and off the list of recommended posts. Dynamic and neat.)

Hi,

I would need functionality that is provided by the subform module (http://drupal.org/project/subform) in drupal 4.7. Does anyone know if there is a workaround to use subforms as it's not ported to 5.1 yet? I would need plain subforms to add subnodes to a node.

Thanks,
Reinhard

I have 7 straightforward questions which I'm sure will be easily answered by anyone higher up the Drupal learning curve than me!

1) How to install images within page content?

2) How to install a small table within page content?

3) How to instal a banner headline?

4) How to display a menu in a block in the left-hand nav pane but NOT at the top of the page?

5) Drupal seems to offer 5 or 6 themes - where do I go to get access to more?

Hi,

I wanted to find out if there is a way for an email to be sent to a given email address when someone downloads a file from a drupal website?

I'm using the upload.module and thats how the files are stored (in the DB).

So when someone clicks the link to download a file, a notification will be sent to a specified email address.

Thanks

I'm going to attempt to create a dynamic story module, which will allow a user to choose their own path through a scenario depending on certain choices they make in various situations. I was just wondering if anyone knew if there was something similar that has already been created that I just haven't found yet. Any response will be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
