Module development and code questions

I'm using Drupal 5.1 and would like to use an aggregator module to let people add comments on aggregated items. If you have any experience with the modules, which of these two would you recommend?

http://drupal.org/project/aggregation
http://drupal.org/project/leech

They seem virtually identical to me, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something?

Cheers!

I have to add arount 2000 users to a drupal site from a txt file. I have found at:
http://drupal.org/node/121685
how to add users one by one and I am modifying this module to upload a file and then add all the users automatically.

My problem is that I cannot access the file. I added:

    $form['fitxer'] = array(
    '#type' => 'file',
    '#title' => t('Users File'),
    );    

but when if I put:

I'm trying to use drupal_execute() to save a custom node. I see my form's validate function get called (and it returns successfully - no call to form_set_error) . However, the form's submit and insert hooks never are called. Is there something special I need to do with using drupal_execute() for adding new nodes?

I've successfully used it in the past to handle adding taxonomy terms but the node insert/update forms appear to be different.

I need to create my own database or just some tables inside my existing drupal database, where it is possible to query some data and bring them back as a result.

Are there any modules that support this, or is it possible here in drupal?

Thanks.

I know how to create blocks in a custom module.

Does anybody know the best way to automatically "configure" them fromthe module as well. So for instance, instead of manually going to admin/build/block and telling the block which region and weight you want it to be, i'd like to be able to do that with code when i create the blocks in the module.

thanks
