Module development and code questions

Hi All,

I'm new to the CCK module and think it is great. I wish I could create instances of a content type using a dropdown to set the node Title, to make normalized data.

Could I hack this?
Could this be a future option?
Does this exsist anywhere else (some other node type/module)?

Thanks for any ideas,

John

Hi all,

I have developed a module for Drupal (version 4.7.x so far) but
I cannot seem to checkout the module to CVS.

I am getting tonnes of errors, no such repository is just one.

I am using TortoiseCVS software and don't intend to download anything else.
Anyhow, my settings are:

CVSROOT - :pserver:[USER]@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib/modules
Protocol - Password Server (:pserver:)
Repository folder - /cvs/drupal-contrib/modules
User - [USER]
Module - accessibility

I am trying wrap my head around voting actions and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

I would like a node added to a node queue once it accrues a certain number of votes.

I have a block in the site that displays featured articles - they come from a nodequeue which admin can add to manually in the normal fashion.

I also have vote up/down and voting actions - articles are promoted to front once they earn +2 votes.

The basic idea is that once an article earns 3 votes it goes into the features node queue.

I have been looking over Vote Up/Down, Voting actions, Actions and the Nodequeue modules and to be frank am a little lost at this stage.

While this is all configurable in Drupal, it does not work, meaning, the action is not triggered once 3 votes are earned.

Here's a quick run down on how i have configured it so far:

1. Created and configured a node queue called 'features'.
2. Made a block to display node queue - so far everything works perfectly.
3. Actions > Add new action - "ad to node queue" (configured to ad to 'features' queue).
4. Voting Actions > add new action set called 'promote to features' and configure (points / vote / sum / greater than 2 votes).
5. Add action to voting action set 'add to node queue'.

If anyone can shed some light on where to go from here it would be much appreciated. I assume I need to create a new voting action - to tie the add to node queue action to votes? Not sure if that is the way forward or how to implement that at this stage.
