Module development and code questions

I am going to work on putting Koha ILS (Open Source) ILS support into KOHA. Is there anyone who is also using Drupal who has some interest?

I would like ideas of features and possibilities.

Thanks!

As part of my_module_install() I want to create and populate a vocabulary programmatically. To not duplicate any code I want to use the taxonomy_save_vocabulary(&$edit) function:

the problem is with displaying a nodes from a custom module in different orders (by title, total votes, chronological...).

I tried to do it inside hook_load with for example

db_fetch_object(db_query('SELECT nid, title, value FROM node
LEFT JOIN votingapi_cache ON (content_id=nid)
WHERE vid = %d AND function="count" ORDER BY title ', $node->vid) );

but the nodes would not be sorted by title at all. Tried db_rewrite_sql and it did not help too. Would someone point me to the right direction please? is hook_load where the sort should happen?

Hello,

I came across a peculiar problem when creating forms using the forms api

my form has the following select element

(
    [#required] => 
    [#attributes] => Array
        (
            [class] => form-select
        )

    [#description] => 
    [#input] => 1
    [#name] => region
    [#value] => 0
    [#id] => edit-region
    [#processed] => 
    [#weight] => 0.001
    [#options] => Array
        (
            [0] => None
            [N] => Select Multiple
            [P] => Select All
            [1] => North America
            [10] => South America
            [2] => Asia
            [3] => Africa
            [4] => Europe
            [5] => Latin America
            [6] => Pacific
            [7] => Polar
            [8] => Caribbean
            [9] => Central America & Mexico
        )

    [#default_value] => 0
    [#title] => Destination Region
    [#post] => Array
        (
        )

    [#programmed] => 
    [#parents] => Array
        (
            [0] => region
        )

    [#tree] => 
    [#type] => select
)

as seen from above the default_value is supposed to the option[0] but when i render the form i get the options 0, M and N as selected options.
This is a serious bug. i'm using drupal-5.0-rc1. Has anyone seen this issue before ?

What changes need to be made to a module based on the story module (4.7) to make it compatible with 5.0

other than including a .info file

have seen the list of changes but cant seem to do this simple up grade

have the structure of form arrays changed ???

tks

I want to do some callbacks in a module and I would just use a method like autocomplete, but I am wondering:

Does an autocomplete, like any on the ones on drupal.org, require a full bootstrap?
If so, isn't that a little excessive?
If not, then can anyone fill me in on best practice in this respect?
