Module development and code questions

Dear contributed module maintainers:

In January of 2007, I created the Contributed Module Status group. It now has almost 200 subscribers and, out of 273 total groups at g.d.o, it is currently #8 in terms of total subscribers.

For each of you to easily self-update the status of your 5.x contributed module(s), the wiki page Contributed modules status - version 5.x was created. Although the wiki page has been self-updated by a few contributed module maintainers, the status of most contributed modules has not been self-updated by the respective maintainers.

Could those of you who haven't yet self-updated the status of your contributed module(s) please do so at this time? Even if you simply add a short comment such as "Not porting to 5.x" or "Porting to 5.x during March 2007" or "No longer maintained", that would be a HUGE help. :) Your self-update to the wiki page should only take a few minutes for you to do, is quite easy to do, and would provide all Drupal users a centralized location to view the overall status of all contributed modules. I would greatly appreciate your support. If you're ever in Austin, I'll buy you a beer. :)

Thank you for all that you do and, in advance, for considering to update the status of your contributed module(s) at Contributed modules status - version 5.x. :)

Hi all!

I have been looking into modules for video embedding into a drupal driven site.
I've seen that there are quite a few options. My need is to embed amatorial videos, in particula my client needs to embed videos that he has been uploading on www.videoegg.com..

I didnt see any direct module for videoegg integration in a drupal driven site.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can use for this kind of functionality?
What video module I should use and what kind of formats are supported?

I have read all the documentation I can find on hook_menu(). I understand the normal menu system fine, but somehow I just can't get it through my thick skull how to implement the local tasks.

Is there a good online tutorial that someone could point me to? Or could someone please explain this in simple terms from beginning to end. The regular menu system is very logical, I'm just not sure what I'm missing here. Every built-in module seems a little to complicated for me to understand.

Hi,
I was looking at integrating roundcube email client module when I noticed somthing. Apart from the horrible documentation provided for rcmail.module, the is a step where the admin needs to manually populate a database with the roundcube tables.

Hi,

I'm making a site that's going to have a many-to-many relationship, and was wondering if anyone else had thoughts on how to implement this - both in terms of the database, and about how to input it.

What do I mean?

I'm using CCK to have node references in my node edit pages - so I have one node type of 'organisation' and another of 'project' - and so I can select multiple projects in any organisation I'm editing.

Which is great: but what I need is, for each project added, extra fields that relate to that project's connection to the organisation. I.e. When i add a project to an organisation, I need more fields to appear - in my case, I need "amount this organisation gives to this project" (in either a negative or positive amount to indicate giving or receiving funds from it.)

In relational database terms, this is a many-to-many relationship - one organisation can be involved in many projects / one project can involve many organisations - which relational databases can't do directly. I need to create a third 'linker' table, I think. An illustrative example (from my database textbook!) would be if you have 'students' and 'courses' -

• one student can be enrolled on zero or many courses
• one course can contain many students

So that's solved by making a third category - registration.
