Module development and code questions

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a module / feature avail in CCK or else to allow the user to perform field-wise batch-edits/updates on nodes/CCK nodes

i.e. update field X in all selected/all records to Y

Your help is appreciated

thanks

I wrote the following to update a field,

db_query("UPDATE {node_question} SET field_answer_value = '%s' WHERE nid = %d", $form_values['answer'], arg(1));

I can see that field has been updated in the database, but node page still shows the old data. Do I need to do something else to complete the query?

Thanks.

Hi,

AFAIK you can use the import/export module to import nodes into CCK based on a CSV file...

I was wondering how you would implement a good multi-database synchronisation.

The case is that 2 tables from an external database application shall be loading (one-way) into Drupal.
Actually there's more data to be added to this data (on a record level) but only a subset of fields shall be importet/updated on a regular basis (hence automated/programmatic)

Can you point me to a good solution/module/sample code?

Your help is appreciated

First, I'm an extreme beginner to Drupal, PHP, and anything that has to do with web hosting. I managed to install Drupal onto my server and configure it a bit, but now I want to add some things to it. I'm not even sure if this is a module, but I'll say it anyway...

I want to know how to have a form on a specific page that the user can input a number, then the number will be saved to the database. If the number is above a specific ammount, they will have access to a page such as "winner".

I'm not very skilled with MySQL, so I cannot decipher this message after I enable the module:

user warning: Table 'kelp_drpl1.votingapi_vote' doesn't exist query: SELECT DISTINCT uid from votingapi_vote in /home/kelp/public_html/tutorialwhore/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 121.

Any ideas to what I have to do?
