Module development and code questions

Is there a proper practice to remove the default types of actions from CiviCRM (ex: phone call, email)?

Also, is there a way to set the permissions in such a way that a user can log a meeting with a contact but doesnt have permission to edit that contact?

Thanks,

Chris

I would like to be able to replace all occurances of CiviCRM with something that makes more sense to the client like "Contact Manager". Is there a good method/right practice for doing this besides the obvious answer (going through the code and replacing all instances of it). Also, there are other aspects of the CiviCRM system I wouldn't mind changing. For example, for this project I would like to change "Groups" to "Teams".

I am running the most recent stable version of CiviCRM (v1.5) and Drupal 4.7. Any thoughts?

Hello everyone,

My question is in regards to my current installation of Drupal 4.7.4, views.module, cck package (specifically the node reference module) and the viewfield.module

My objective is to create a small movie database that lists movies and crew as separate node types and to have each type be referenced within each other. For example, A 'movie' will list the crew when viewing a movie node. You can click on any of the crew and you will be directed to a 'crew' node type where all of the movies this person has been a part of will be displayed and referenced.

I'd like to do this with CCK and views as they can be customised to exactly what I require. I did stumble upon the 'Movie Database' module however, it did not suit my needs.

I currently have two cck node types (for simplicity of describing the issue, I have used the names):
1. 'movie'
2. 'crew'

The fields in 'crew' are:
'name' (textfield)
'bio' (textfield)
'credits' (viewfield)

The fileds in 'movie' are:
'title' (textfield)
'year' (textfield)
'director' (nodereference > crew)
'producer' (nodereference > crew)
'editor' (nodereference > crew)
etc...

User's passwords are stored in an encoded value in the database (so it appears). If I want to test any login code, via something like PhpMyAdmin ( I am making alterations) I am not successful because even though I might enter a truthful statement ie :

SELECT count(*) AS COUNT FROM users WHERE name = 'drupal' AND pass = 'wanderer'

the data value for pass is NOT 'wanderer' it looks more like this '8d9f63ff43ss2275a7jtg667s218a8f60489'

I KNOW I can login with these creds... how can I mimic what drupal does to obtain the correct value?

Thanks

Does anyone know of a module that allows automatic paging of stories?

I'm using the "paging" module and manually inserting "

" tags works, but I'd like an automatic alternative that would eliminate the step of having to go through and insert these tags.

Cheers,
Mike

I have just been told that I need to add a product catalog to a site. They don't want to sell anything, just search and display products based on certain classifications, i.e. manufacturer, industry, product category/sub-category, etc. Drupal would appear to be ideal for this but, I have searched all over and I can't seem to find a module or an example of this being done before. Is there an established catalog module, or has anyone done anything like this before?
