Module development and code questions

I know how to set description to a checkbox. But if I use form API to generate a checkboxes, how to do it?

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.

I am creating a new module which I need to extend product. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get started. i thought I couold just create a modu;le that would insert a new record in the node table & the ec_product table, then insert it into the ec_cart table. I expected the ec_)cart table to simply have a reference to the ec_product tables id of the product i am adding to the caert, but I found a bunch of text in the data column. I have no idea how this is generated.

Hi all,
So i'm switching from Joomla to Drupal. So far i'm loving drupal but i've run into a small problem. For some reason, After i uploaded the gallery module into sites/default/modules i don't see it in the administration->modules page to active it. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

Thanks!

Maybe I'm missing something in Drupal...

I've got a lot of modules installed in my drupal installation.. I use a different set for different sites.. they all work great, occasionally the odd glitch, and usually an update fixes the problem.

Is there a way to check for updates to the current version of your drupal modules, all at once? Or is my approach of "fix as you find the bug" the only way?

Thanks in advance :-)
