Module development and code questions

The problem is simply that i want to send email notification to every registered user when a new file has been uploaded using the normal drupal core upload module.

My Approach was to simply use the drupal_mail() function in the upload_save() function inside the upload.module file to send the email to a large list of emails resulting from querying the database users tables ( above 500 record ). When doing so, i got an internal server error and i think it is because the very large number of emails i requested to send in one function call.

Is any module similar to Yahoo! Answers in the works?

Thanks

I am looking to set up about 5 or so ecommerce sites that sell similar products and then have them all transact on one main site. I am not quite sure how to go about doing this all the way and was hoping somebody could offer some help. Each site will have unique products. I would want them to add the products to the cart using the ecommerce module, but when they are ready to checkout send them all to the main transaction domain, similar to something like a Yahoo Store.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I would like to be able to redirect my users to the homepage after they login instead of them being placed on a blank page. I was hoping that I could do this with Javascript but I am not much of a programmer and have not had much luck. The closest I can get is to do a timed redirect. The problem I face is that after the login the user is placed on the same page as the login just minus the login information.

Hi,

your search module has a bug. If you use "INSERT INTO.... VALUES(..., %f, ...)..." (for score value) there would be a problem in some locale settings. It's neccessary to use not "%f" but "%F"!

I will be using the ECommerce module on Drupal to run my online shop. Instead of me holding stock I will be using SOAP to send my orders to a larger shop who will package up my orders and dispatch them.
I know PHP and can use MySQL well, but I have no experience of working with Drupal modules, especially ECommerce.
My question is this: Is there any tutorial that can guide me through creating a simple module. I don't expect an ECommerce specific tutorial but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
