Module development and code questions

Hey all,
I'm pretty new to drupal and I'm trying to set up Acidfree on 4.7, but I can't figure out how to create the tables for mySQL without the mySQL text file to upload. If anyone could help me I'd be very appreciative.

anyone know if myspace module or the like's can be upgraded to 4.7? thanks, erick

Hey, i just recently found out about Drupal and am still toying around with all of its features. I have since set up a fully working install with the video module, using the default flowplayer.

What i would like to know is, how to use the video module with a different flv player, more specifically, http://jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_Video_Player, because it has the volume controls feature and also a full screen function. Although i am no programmer, i do know that by using this simple script in the body of my posts i can play flash videos using the other player.

What i would however like to do is, make it so when you click on the play tab of a video post, the flash video is played using the other flash video player. I have set the video.module settings to use the Player.swf file, which is the new flash video player, Although the flash player loads on the play page, it doesn't load the video.
I would like to know if i can edit the video.module file and make it so that when i click on the play tab of my
video post it uses my flash player and plays the video.

I understand that this might be a really basic question, but i have searched google and the community for a solution, i even unsuccessfully attempted to edit the video.module myself.

I've followed the guide at http://drupal.org/node/54753. I've found the sample code to be overly complicated and have, from scratch, written my own multi-page node creation based on the sample code. It works just fine if I am admin, but if I am an anonymous or logged in user it does not work unless the user has the ability to create attachments (WTF?!?!?).

What I mean by "does not work" is that the first page is shown, but when I click "Next" it acts llike I am clicking "Submit" and creates the node without showing the proceeding second page first. Why does the upload module affect this? I don't want to grant upload rights to my anonymous users. My module has nothing to do with uploads - hell, I don't even use the upload module, I'd rather just turn it off.

Here's the source code for my module, I'd appreciate any insight:

Also, if you want to try out the form and see what I mean:

http://new.choicesinchildbirth.org/regads

Last, but not least, I've submitted both the working version of the form (as admin) and a non-working version (as anonymous) to a URL where I serialize and print $_POST to the screen. Here is the serialized $_POST data for the working form:

a:2:{s:4:"edit";a:15:{s:10:"list_where";s:5:"guide";s:12:"contact_name";s:1:"d";
s:13:"contact_title";s:1:"d";s:5:"title";s:1:"d";s:7:"changed";s:0:"";s:4:"page";

Some one did this earlier but it can't find the code for it. What he did was add a link to the listed aggregator items ( similar to blogit!) so that when clicked that item was converted to a node.

This is different from aggregator2 or leech which do all the feed items. What I want to be able to do is pick and choose as I read.

Does anyone remember this thread or have the code?

Hello. I am hoping to get some clarity on the current state and development of the paypalpro module for ecommerce. I noticed that as of today (November 11th, 2006) the module is not included in the current version of ecommerce (4.7.x-1.x). In the "Modules Summary and 4.7 Release Status" section or the ecommerce README, paypalpro's status is listed as "cvs". So I tracked down the module at http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/ecommerce/con...
