Module development and code questions

I have a couple of custom modules that require fscache and filestore2 in how they operate. I was wondering what these changed to in 5.1 so that I can make the adjustments to the code and upgrade them. Any info would be appreciated.

thanks.

Hi all,

Can anyone clarify the purpose of the previous_source hidden field in the location node edit form? I see where it is set in the form creation routine, but it doesn't seem to be read for any useful purpose.

We need a way to recall the the previous address set into a node which may have been map selected or geocoded and I'm wondering if this field would help us in that respect or if we need to cook up our own way of doing this.

Thanks.

I would like to find or develope a module that adds a taxonomy term to the menu in a particular way. This is how I would like the module to work. When I open a taxonomy term for editing I would like to have the same options for adding the term to the menu as if it was a Page.

Can this be done with a module and without modifying the core? If this can be and isnt already done, I will give it a shot!

Hi. I am modifying the 'archive' module to change how it lists nodes and what criteria is uses to select them.
Actually, I'm just cutting out the calendar part and am just going to provide a link to get the list of nodes which are selected without any time constraint.

Here's some code from the original module:

Greetings. I'm creating a module that lets my users generate new data files that they can purchase. I've been looking through the ecommerce module's and store.module and file.module files, but I can quite figure out which functions to use and in which order.

Once my new data file is generated on-the-fly, I'm creating a new node and saving it with node_prepare() and node_save(). Then I insert a record into the table for my custom module.

For now, I'm assuming that the payment for this file product was successful, and I'm playing around with these functions calls:

Hello all,

I'm using the Video module to stream videos for my client on his drupal driven website..

I want to use the View module to pick up all the videos and display a "thumbnailed video gallery"...

The actual problem now that I'm facing is that within the available visualizations modes for the view module: Full Nodes, Teaser List, Table View, List View I dont get one that really fits in what I want rendered..

I have created a Block view.. and would like to create a table of thumbnails (say a 4 x 4 table) where every cell will contain a thumbnail, a description of the video and a link to start playing the video in a new page.. (this new page has its own template for a node of type 'video', ie: node-video.tpl.php )

Any suggestions in how to do this? Do I have to hack my way through the View module so as to customize the rendering model...

For what regards the Video module itself, I set the thumbnail image in the 'Image thumbnail' field the module provides, also putting a small description in the 'body' field.. I also set up TinyMCE throughout the site..

Please let me know how to go on about this if any previuos experience...If any suggestions? Should I use a different methodology maybe??
