Module development and code questions

Hello!

Is it possible to extend CCK content types with custom modules that use the drupal hooks?
In my case I would like to add an item to the local tasks menu of my custom content type "persons".
I would like to write the module file content_persons.php containing the function content_persons_menu.
Is this possible? If not - how can I add a menu item to the local tasks of a custom content type?

Thanks,

Gabriel

Hello everyone, please excuse me if I posted this in the wrong section. I'm new to Drupal, and I'm trying to convert a HTML layout to a drupal theme. All is going well, but I am looking for a module, I hope you can help me. In the right sidebar I need a block with "what our customers say". It should list, using my own provided template, some entries consisting of Author, author link, and quote. I need this to be very idiot-friendly, so in the administration section I just need to use a three-input form, with the fiels I mentioned above.

What's the rule-of-thumb in getting subtabs to display as subtabs?

I have 4 "tabs" - and want 2 sub-tabs for each:
( category 1 ) ( category 2 ) ( category 3 ) ( category 4 )
( view ) ( edit )

I can get the 4 categories to display correctly, but can't get the subtabs up at all.

Can someone explain how this is supposed to work, or point me in the direction of something that does?

Thanks in advance.

Roo.

I tried to make an AJAX style call to a procedure in a module directory using xmlrpc.php as an example. include_once './includes/bootstrap.inc'; fails because it includes from ./ and has to be in the root directory. How do you produce a produce a procedure that runs from a module subdirectory?

Hi, anyone know what the timetable for these module release for drupal 5? thank you.

I'm working on a social networking site for specialized interests. I've got most of it up and running thanks to Drupal forms, but I am confused on how to make a few things work.
