Module development and code questions

Hi there,

I played with the existing fudforum module and looked over the code. It's set up to treat the forum user DB as the "master" DB.

I'd like to integrate FUDforums as part of a larger site where Drupal is the front end for shared sign-in, just as has been implemented with Gallery2 and MediaWiki.

It seems that this should be fairly straightforward, combining a module_user hook and calls to code in FUDforum's scripts/fudapi.php and scripts/forum_login.php

I am porting an application to Drupal. This ported application uses $_SESSION extensively.

I read the book page on Session Handler Issues, but it doesn't tell me what to do if I want to let both Drupal and my ported application use $_SESSION without conflict. Is that possible?

Rewriting my application to not use the $_SESSION variable would be a massive headache.

I don't want to drop Drupal's use of SESSION because I don't want to mess up my compatability with it (and other non-core modules).

If yes, what is your feedback, is it usable?

Is it stable enough at the moment?
Anyone knows when there will be a stable acidfree 5 branch?

Thanks!

Hi,

I installed this module on my testing site over here http://www.jezebeltempting.com/?q=chatrooms/chat/1 no matter what I try I can not get this thing working :( There are no errors I can find anywhere and when you hit send to write your text it just does nothing... I have tried asking for help on IRC and searching the site with no luck... If anyone has a clue please let me know over here or email me brannfenix@gmail.com

Ever gotten sick of clicking on your special Rich-Text input filter for TinyMCE when you use the editor? Ever forgotten to? Ever had a user nuke all the whitespace in a node by editing it in TinyMCE with the "filtered HTML" input format on? Well... I have! And now I've made a solution.

I'm interested in implementing some ajax functionality in a module I'm trying to code. Anyone have any experience or know of a tutorial to use dojo with drupal?
Thanks
