Module development and code questions

Hi! I use the directory module with "number of resources to display in each subcategory" set to 5. This works fine and you get a "view all items" link whenever there are more than 5 items in a subcategory. But if a category has no child categories, all of its items are listed on one page. How do i add a pager to these?! Is it something in the directory.module file that I've got to change?
Huge thanks in advance!

The voting(http://drupal.org/project/voting) module is not work sustain drupal 5.X version?

I try add the voting.info in de module file,But after setup succeed,I can't find the voting setting panel,How do yuo help me?

Thanks!

I want to create this module that uses very specific types of fields that aren't available in drupal's form or cck or whatever module.
Is it possible to create a module for creating a new type of inputfield or do i have to create a module that extends the cck module?
Is there some sort of tutorial availeble that shows me how to create a new input type?

Just to give some information about the field... i want to create a field with a lot of javascript/ajax for different things.

I am interested in learning what would be required to create a form and have it email an FDF attachment of the form data so that when the recipient clicks on it, a PDF file opens with the form filled in. Does anyone have any ideas of how to go about doing this? I am still trying to get my arms around the Forms API. I am not sure if I have to create a new module to do this or not.

Thanks for thinking about this.

I need to reduce my workload a bit. Some of these requests have been standing for awhile, but I probably have not done a good job of making sure the requests are out there where everyone can see them.

I’m looking for the following:

I've attempted to pick up where Michelle left off at Contrib modules version 5.x status - Module maintainers please read by creating a group on g.d.o titled Contributed Module Status. On that specific group, and specifically for 5.x contributed modules, I created a wiki page, Contributed modules status - version 5.x.

However, although some contributed module maintainers have stepped up and helped by posting the status to their respective contributed module(s), many maintainers have not - I'm sure many simply don't know the group even exists or that wiki pages exist on g.d.o. This post is an attempt to publicize the wiki way for maintainers to update the status of their contributed module(s) so that the Drupal community can easily see the status of the hundreds of contributed modules.
