Module development and code questions

My module needs to access the taxonomy terms attached to a node when it is displayed. I dumped the return value of node_load() in the browser and saw that the terms are in an array under $node->taxonomy.

However, when I dump the node object that is passed to hook_load, I don't see $node->taxonomy anywhere.

So at what point do these terms get loaded into the node object, and how can I trigger it? Or should I just "manually" query {term_node} and load the terms myself?

I do a new module which include external file from phpSysInfo (http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net). I named this module as sysinfo.module and working fine on my notebook, but when I upload this to my server this error occurs: No Hacking.

Yes. Only a white page with this text: No Hacking.

This is the header section of sysinfo.module which caused this error:

Hi Folks,

just writing in to let others know that in your files/ directory you need to have a temp directory in order for imagecache to work. I removed the file early on because I thought only the image.module itself used that. Just in case someone else runs into this problem!

Does anyone know how I would skip a number of nodes when doing a view.

Ie: ONE view has the first 3 nodes with TITLE, BODY and FULL TEASER

The next view has The next three nodes (or SKIP the first THREE nodes) with just title...

Then I place them on the same page... the first view shows a more in depth view of the articles... the next one just shows a title link to the older articles....

So whenever I do a new article it doesn't double up

Thanks in advance. JD

Was anyone able to get Ldap integration module to work with version 5?
I copied the files to the module folder but nothing is showing up on the admin->module section.

Let's say you have a url like this:

http://drupalsite.com/node/add/flexinode-3?edit[og_groups][]=72

I want to use node_add to create this node.

I know you would do something like:

echo node_add('flexinode-3');

But, how do I set the group context or validate other stuff in the form before it's submitted?

Thanks for any guidance.
