Module development and code questions

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes!

I am not a programmer, in any sense of the word, the most I can manage is HTML!! But I have a suggestion for a module that I can't seem to find (Or find anything like).

A Vacation Scheduler that allows employees to request vacation time (Start Date and End Date) that will notify the manager and s/he can then approve or deny the request (With reason). If approved, it gets added to a calendar so the manager can track who is on vacation and when.

I've just installed the Advanced User Module (http://drupal.org/node/67084) but I can't find any information on how to use it? How can I list the users with common profile fields??? It should describe that in the readme file... :-((

I want to list all users with a common state profile field.

Thanks for your help,

Kai

Hi Everyone.

Say I have a simple form with a select drop-down of, for example, classes. I'd like users to be able to select a class, click an Add button, and then redisplay the page with the class(es) they have already 'added', yet continue to show the select drop-down, so they can add additional if needed.

I'm having quite a difficult time trying to figure this out... I've searched and searched, but can't find a simple explanation. Any suggestions, especially with simple examples, would be great! Thanks!

I have not been able to find how I can validate the settings of a module that are created with the hook_settings. When the user presses submit, then we should check that the data that he filled in the various form fields are valid. E.g. number fields should be verified to only contain numbers, the format of e-mail addresses should be verified, ...

I know that we use the _validate hook for validation of the fields on the module's nodes. But how are the settings of the module itself validated?

Could somebody give a pointer to information how this can be done?

I've currently got Table Manager v4.6 which doesn't sort by date
I've tried to find out in the latest version now has this before upgrading. Can anyone confirm this?
If so what would be the date format to use?
Thanks
