Module development and code questions

Hi There, Im just trying to use the form_alter hook, but not having much luck.
What Im trying to do is add a new option in the user settings page, to allow a user agreement to be specified...

At this stage, I have this code, but nothing will come up within the user settings admin page...

I have the private messenger module installed, and the actions module.
I would like to know whether it is possible to trigger a private message (not an e-mail)when a comment is posted to a users node.

I do not want an e-mail as I use drupal on a local intranet and have no mail server.

please provide the help.
i have used both taxonomymenu module and pathauto.
i have configured both correctly.
path auto is generating the urlalias for all.but it is not generating the alias for taxonomymenu.

I want to write a module to show some information from database such as news. However,there are so much news that if i display in one page ,it must be too long. Therefore,i wonder if there is a way to split into many pages. I want to write a module such as this forum.
Thanks

Hi all...
I'm building a site based on Drupal and I'd like to know if anyone knows of a way to show plain HTML pages in the main content area.

I looked around and found the GrayBox module, which opens a new window in a layer above the webpage, but that's unnecessary for me.

When I played around with Joomla a while back, they had a component (called Wrapper) which lets you do that,
I was wondering if there's anything like that for Drupal...

Thanks!

Hello Drupalians,

I am brand new to Drupal but have developed ecommerce sites in OSCommerce and XCart (custom PHP programming). I am evaluating Drupal and its ecommerce module for my next site.

One of the reasons for using Drupal has to do with having an online forum that people pay to access. What I would like to do is have a user log into the store and if they purchase a specific “Kit” with forum access included in it, then their same (store) login info would allow them to access the forum. Is this doable and how difficult would that be?
