Module development and code questions

Hello I have installed the Ecommerce module on a clean Drupal install and I was wondering if there was a way to make the "product listings" that Ecommerce lists to list horizontal instead of vertical? I cant find out how to do this in any of the settings. Thanks!

I'd like to access the $user object from a custom module. Unfortunately it's out of scope. How can I load the $user object for the current authenticated user? Or are there access functions I can use to determine the username and the uid?

Hi,

I have installed drupal on my main site (http://otg.com),and i have registered my first user as admin(by default they have admin role).Then i have created two users (say test1,test2).What i wanted to do is to diffrentiate the content for diffrenet users.

For example if i logged in as "test1" my theme,content,posts,blogs should be kept as private and when i logged in as "test2" i cannot see the postings ,themes ,contents of "test1" and "test2" have thier own contents.

Consider yahooo geocities as example.In there the repository is same but multiple users accessing different content.I need same kind of scenario in drupal (ie content separation based on users).

How can i achieve this? I don't want to use sub_domains or $db_prefix because if there is n number of users it will duplicate the drupal schema for n times(ie n * 57 tables).Currently i am using drupal 4.7 with apache 2.x and mysql 5 on windows XP.Help needed very urgent

I have the following user_defined menus such as "Notify Me","register Me" etc.But when i logged in as "test2",I should see the same menus but with different contents eg)

"test1" ---->"Notify Me"------>Selected topics like abc,def for "test1"
"test2" ---->"Notify Me"------>Selected topics like xyz,pqr for "test2"

I have checked out the Mysite and organic groups but that is not what i am looking for - Just consider another example as gmail,When you logged in the home page and presentation are same for all the users,the only difference is the data(ie inbox,outbox etc. - I need to achieve the same thing in drupal.

I'm getting this with error with the flexinode image:

warning: imagegif() [function.imagegif]: Unable to open 'files/DOCSWEB-4_th.gif' for writing in /home/searcyc/public_html/includes/image.inc on line 300.

What permissions do I need for images? The rights are 755, though I thought all files should be 644. And what's the ownership - 'nobody'?

Hello,

I'm working with the category module, and I have a problem. I'm attempting to add some functionality into the module, but I'm running into a problem:

I'm using active select, so I have a hierarchy of hidden containers. What I need is the Distant Parent path to root - that is, given a category, I need an array of it's distant parent category, it's distant parent category's distant parent category, and so on until the root Container. How would I go about getting this accomplished?

any help would be great,
Thanks!

hello there,
