Module development and code questions

I downloaded the CountdownTimer module and installed it as per the instructions (at least I think). I activated the module, updated the database, added a new block and in the block body I put this:

<?php 
drupal_add_js('countdowntimer/timerjs');
?>
<b>Thanksgiving is in</b>
<span id="TG1" class="countdowntimer">2007-11-23 20:30:00</span>

And it does absolutely nothing. Just sits there. I wish I had a dog this obedient LOL
Can someone help me please?
Thanks

I'm thrilled to have found the Views module. It solves a few headaches I've been having trying to learn all of drupal in one go.

I'm messing with some content and I want a very limited view in a block (I only want title and body) only View type "List View" and "tables" lets you limit fields so I'm going with List View as I don't want tables. The thing it adds content as Unordered lists, thus creating indents and bullets where I don't want them.

Hi,

I've found the PHP code snippet to display tags by category:

drupal_set_html_head('<style type="text/css">@import url('.drupal_get_path('module','tagadelic').'/tagadelic.css);</style>');
$vocs[] = 1; //  id of the vocabulary of which you want to display a tag cloud
$output = theme('tagadelic_weighted',tagadelic_get_weighted_tags($vocs));
print $output;

However, some of my vocabularies are used by different content types. I would like to display the tags by content type.

Has anyone else implemented and/or testing the patch provided?

Thanks,

Josh

I've been poking at this for a bit and can't figure it out so I'm hoping someone here would know how to....

I want to create a view, displayed as a block that is associated with the node that is currently displayed. You could use this for a variety of functions but I'm specifically looking for a block that would display all incoming nodereferences.

Hello

i'm writing a module to allow view/edit control of individual cck content type fields on a per user role and per workflow state basis

i've already got it working for creation/edits of nodes (form_alter), but how do i hook and modify the display of pages?
