Module development and code questions

I have installed the Subscriptions module on my site, and it seems to be working when a new comment is posted to an existing node (assuming I have subcribed to the node, of course).

However, I can't seem to have Subscriptions send a notification when a new node is posted.

Is Subscriptions able to do this?

I know that the NOtify module can, but it doesn't allow the flexability that I want (that is, I only want nodes of certain types to be able to have notifications sent).

Thanks in advance.

I can use two ways to pass parameters to a page.

The first way is use drupal-style url like "q=mymodule/display/1". I can use arg(2) to get the value "1". But if I change the menu structure or something other relative I need to change the source code and change the parameter I give to arg().

The second is use the normal way to pass a "get" parameter to next page. In the url like "&id=1". But this way make the url looks not good.

What is the better way or is there another way?

Hi,
Is there a module which allows a user to interact with a datbase? I'm currently using dadabik ( www.dadabik.org ) but I'd like to use something that's integrated with drupal. I searched the modules directory but didn't find anything. Any ideas?

DaDaBIK is a free PHP application that allows you to easily create a highly customizable front-end for a database in order to search, insert, update and delete records; all you need to do is specifying a few configuration parameters.

Hello,

I want my module to add a widget to the second page of project_issue_node_form. The widget should only be added, if a specific project was selected on the first page (or the appropriate url was called). How do I do that?

I'm trying to use advuser module but I see that this module works for admins only, there's some way to let anonymous users use this module too?
or some way to let anonymous users to search into profile fields?

thanks

Greetings,

I am building a module that allows file uploads and subsequently queries an external library to get additional metadata regarding the file that has been uploaded.

The external library requires that I give a full path to the file that has been uploaded. I am having a hard time understanding how drupal is using relative paths with the file upload and how I might convert those to full filesystem paths. What I would really like to find is what the full path to an uploaded file is on the filesystem.
