Module development and code questions

Hello,

I am using the Survey Module and have encountered a problem:

"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /.../modules/survey/survey.module on line 415"

It sometimes tells me it the error is in the common.inc but I guess that is just the time it takes to get to the given line...

Why is this happening? Any ideas?

Thanx for your help...

I had recently created a custom module for Drupal 4.7.4 which worked perfectly. Then I switched my Drupal over to version 5, which went fine. Then I followed the Module conversion information for 4.7 to 5, but after I finished I couldn't get it to show up in my Drupal 5 modules section. It won't list it, is there something I'm missing? I added the module.info file, but still nothing. I even checked it against Drupal's core Blog module, and I can't seem to find the issue. If anyone has any insight, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I have an hook_validate that check if a value of a textfield is already present on the db.
This is ok when i insert new nodes.
But when i edit an existing node the validation fails because i'm eding a field already present.
I could switch validation between update and insert operations: how could i do that?
Thank you

Iacopo

I would like someone to please grab this code and then implement a feature that lets you compare two node revisions using it:

Thanks in advance.

I just posted what i hope will start some discussion on a path that i think the CCK project needs to take. As it properly should be posted as a feature request under the CCK issues tracker - that is where i put it: http://drupal.org/node/104339.

But, since there is pretty limited visibility to the issue tracker i thought i would x-post here as well.

Feel free to give general comments on this concept on this thread.

I'm creating a module to use transparent menus (TransMenu) originally written by Aaron Boodman (www.youngpup.net).

This is almost done. The basic proccess is ready. I need to implement the user to choose colors to set that up using the color picker not just setting some text fields in the block configure form. How could I do it?
