Module development and code questions

I've been trying Categories, Taxonomy and other modules trying to get this specific feature. If you know what I need, please tell me.

I want to organize my content by location.
So a Node can be categorized as
"North America->USA->Michigan->Detroit"

The way drupal does this is... put everything in a drop down list and you choose the most exact category. But what I want it to do is have 4 drop down boxes and a text input field.
So first the user selects "North America" then the second drop down box is populated with all the countries in "North America". the second selection box is populated with "Canada, Mexico, USA, etc."
The user choses USA and the 3rd box is populated with all the states in USA.
Then the 4th box is loaded with cities and the user choses the city.
in addition I would like the user to add a city to that state if it is missing from the list (Free Tagging). Since there are thousands of cities around the world I don't have the time to type them all in as children.

As of what I have seen in the modules section, Either you get all thousand cities organized in a hierarchical tree in one pull down box, or you get a fill in the blank for use in Free Tagging.

But the first case doesn't allow users to add cities to the tree, and the second case there is no longer any hierarchical organization. Is there any way to categorize nodes based on a 4 step selection as i described above?

Hi, everybody,
I can't set a background image in my blog by editing CSS style in Tinymce - How can I do it? Can you explain parameters in administer/setting/tinymce/Edit profile/CSS? Thank you

Hi all of you, I am a newbie, I had setup my first Drupal Site in Oct.

I love acidfree, but I cannot solve the problem of photo rotation.

Acidfree works fine but when I try to rotate the photo, nothing change and no error message.

I read all the posts here about this topic already, but no answer can help.

Here is my setting:

Drupal 4.7.4
Acidfree 4.7.x-1.x-dev
the latest Filemanager
GD enabled

Acidfree test all OK

Hi,

I have a site working with CCK, taxonomies and a few other goodies... I managed to handle some templating by manually creating a node-content_mycontentype.tpl.php.

Somehow I understand that the Contemplate module should ease this (or at least make it cleaner).

Hi all,

I installed Easylinks a few days ago. Looks good, but one thing doesn't work properly:

When a user clicks the 'report broken link' button, the page is directed to the wrong URL!

Example: http://www.website.nl/base//base/easylinks/2/reportbroken?destination=easylinks

The place it SHOULD be pointing to is: http://www.website.nl/base/easylinks/2/reportbroken?destination=easylinks

Hi,

I have been using a clone of moviereview for city heritage properties. It is very heavy on taxonomy and has its own tables for content and for adding multiple entries to a field - eg renovation of roof in 1979, renovation of porch in 1989.

It is working fine in 4.6 but the 4.7 module (faithfully cloning moviereview again) only seems to read the tables from the _list function (a view of all properties) giving all the taxonomy data & editing but nothing else.

_list query looks like this:
