Module development and code questions

When you have something like

function hook_insert($node) {
  db_query("INSERT INTO {mytable} (nid, extra)

Hi,

For a school project I have to adjust the chatbox module. Now I'm trying to make a form, but it won't work and I don't know what the problem is.

It played just fine.

then i said to myself, mmm, the blueclip is part of the Color-Videos block so why not name it color-videos/blueclip instead of simply blueclip. made sense.

But it doesnt play anymore. It stays frozen on the blue "Q" on a white bg of quicktime.

why is that?

I need a module with the following features:
