Module development and code questions

Hi, my im putting together an ecom proposal for my employer's client.
I am pushing and OS CMS.... pretty easy argument to win
I would like to push an OS shopping cart.... a bit fuzzy here.

I get the impression from the forum that many feel the drupal ecom mod is not ready for prime time with in our scenario:

sale of media, physical goods, travel booking.
with drupal ecom we can set up for anything right? but whats this bit about not working with weight or multiple shipping solutions?

Hi all,

Does a module exist that generates an RSS feed wherein certain node types can be excluded?

I'm working on a site that has some content types that shouldn't be available via RSS as they just clutter the feed up.

If such a module doesn't exist, I'll write it and contribute it back.

Cheers,
Mike

Hello,

I need help with the creation of a custom module or block whichever is best. What I am creating is a people (user) page that will output the photo, username, and a few other profile fields for 6 random users. When this is clicked it will send you to the profile page for that user.

In the end this will have to be on a page with the the google user_location module.

Using the forums I have found this code which displays the users username and photo:
<?php
/*
* This php snippet loads up a random user object and displays their name and avatar.
* $count controls (x) number of users to display
* $no_avatar controls the path to the default avatar image to display.
*
* tested and works with drupal 4.6.x
*/
$count = 6;
$no_avatar = "Theme/images/NoPhoto.jpg";
$result = db_query_range(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT * FROM {users} u ORDER BY RAND()"), 0, $count);
while ($user_info = db_fetch_object($result)) {
if($user_info->uid){
if($user_info->picture){
print '

uid.'">picture.'"
width="70" style="float:left">

';
}
else {
print '

uid.'"> width="70">

';
}
print $user_info->name;

I am trying to build a site for my non-profit organization (renality.org) and I am interested in duplicating the methods used by wikimedia shown at the top of the page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and also the module used here http://fundraising.wikimedia.org/ .

I'm working on a music site, and would like to be able to have a nice way of keeping track of track listings on CDs/Records/etc, and also have a field that can have a link to samples of songs.

Right now, I've just been hard-coding the track-list as a table in a text area, but would like to be able to have a content type that can let me add an unlimited number of input boxes to hold song name / artist / sample link / length / etc. I don't think I can do this with CCK - is there a module out there that does this. If not, how would I go about creating something like this?

hi there,

I want to develop a new module (my first). But before it I want to get your opinions and suggestions.

Well, my idea is to create a module that ads a description of the search to the site. This description could be recognized by the browser which is then able to add the search to the search-list. More info about this could be found at the mozilla developer docs. It works with both Firefox and IE7, but Opera 9/9.1 don't support it.
