Module development and code questions

Any suggestions would be welcome, as I've only just begun to create custom modules for Drupal.

For this particular project, I have many (about 12, and potentially as many as 20) drop-down lists that I need to maintain. I figure I can either create a new node type to keep all the options in, or create a separate non-node linked table to store them.

hi,

i have put some dynamic data into js file (such as mydata.js), because i would like to let use could sort data in client side, but browser always cache mydata.js so the data could not be updated.

by the way, some common files i would like to be cached, such as logo images etc.

so how could i tell broswer only not cache mydata.js, but cache others normally ?

thx for hints!

Synopsis

Drupal stresses ease of use. To that end, I will be submitting an API to offer dragging, dropping, and sorting functionality to modules. This will greatly enhance not only the ease of making changes to the user interface, but also the development of associated drop and drag projects. To highlight the abilities of the API, I will also be creating a module to drag and drop blocks.

Project details

One of my main considerations in designing the Drag Drop and Sort API is flexibility. Namely, I would like the API to be usable by all content elements within drupal. The API will achieve this flexibility by performing several operations:

1. Identifying appropriate positioning information to be altered by the API (i.e. weight and region).
2. Querying the database for the relevant positioning information for each element that will be affected by the change.
3. Attaching javascript class information to position variables that will make them draggable, droppable, and sortable.
4. Providing the framework for a user interface to use this functionality.
5. After each sort, the API will recalculate weights of all relevant elements and reassign position information that has changed.

Hello everyone,

I was looking for a module to organize by secondary pages and I think the relativity module is a perfect match. The only problem i have is that when it renders the links, it puts a "NodeType:" in front of each link. This is not what i want. I am looking for just the links to show up ( just as it would when we create a menu item.)

so instead of this :
About us

I want a simple display like this :

hi. i was reading IBM's series on oss cms development when i came across the section on drupal devel with eclipse : http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/library/i-osource13/

was wondering if i could get feedback from seasoned (extra spicy kind) devels who have developed drupal or any php app with eclipse...

what are the dis/advantages in using eclipse over, say, dreamweaver for drupal devels?

merci beaucoup!

Hi all,

Is there any way to make drupal ignore image galleries with no images in? At the minute my site displays them, and I see no options to make it ignore empty galleries. See, for instance, http://adventure.atopian.org/image
