Module development and code questions

The hosting company I am with is about to make a change that I think will cause a problem for me and the use of the contact.module. They will implement a new filter in a few weeks that will not allow formmail scripts to send any email as FROM: a domain not hosted by them. The filter will apparently continue to allow the REPLY-TO: field to pass.

I use the contact.module on a 4.7 and a 5.0 beta site. I believe this change by the hosting company will render this module useless to most of my visitors.

I'm using the quotes module, which produces a handy block out of the latest (or random) quote node. However, I'd like the quote displayed in the block to link to the actual node.

Is this possible?

Hey folks,

I've got an Ajax script, using the Jquery js library, that takes an array of quotes, currently hard-wired into a randomquotes.php file (but could easily be adjusted to take the quotes from a database), and updates the page with a random quote every 5 seconds. It seems to be working relatively well, but the plan is to extend this into a module (or to adjust the existing quote module to do this).

I want to create a simple module that uses hook_user to display the 5 most recent user submitted images on a user profile page (http://drupal.org/user/1).

I don't want to go down the route of overriding the user profile page using the template.php technique - http://drupal.org/node/35728. I am actually able to pull the 5 most recent images using the template.php override technique, but I don't want to rewrite everything that interacts with the user.module. Therefore, I have recently found the module hook system drupal uses and this seems to be a much better way to do what I need.

I am not fully understanding the hook_user syntax from the api here - http://api.drupal.org/api/4.7/function/hook_user. Here is the code I have so far:


/**
* Implementation of hook_user().
*/

function userprofileimages_user($op, &$edit, &$account, $category = NULL) {
if ($op == 'view'){
// Display N most recent thumbnails of images submitted by the user
// Each thumbnail is linked back to it's image node
// The number of thumbnail images to show
$nlimit = 5;

$userid = $user->uid;

$sql = "SELECT n.created, n.title, n.nid, n.changed FROM {node} n WHERE n.type = 'image' AND n.uid = $userid AND n.status = 1 AND n.promote = 1 ORDER BY n.changed DESC";

$result = db_query_range($sql, 0, $nlimit);
$output_content = '';
while ( $info = db_fetch_object($result) ) {

I have created a both taxonomy and the book.module. Everything works great, however, when I click on the print friendly page link it only shows the title of the recipe. I have looked in the book.module and it seems that printing for books is set up only to print the title and the title of the subpages. Is there any way to change this?

I'm looking for a module that will make the timestamps on the forum more user friendly:

Rather than _created by_ and _last reply_ reading, "2 days, 6 hours ago" or "18 hours, 43 minutes ago"....
i'd rather have "tuesday" or "last night"

HAs this module already been developed? i thought I'd seen it before, but now i can't find it- there are just too many modules now (o ;

have you seen the module i'm looking for?
