Module development and code questions

Hello,

I created a new node type, by creating a new module. There I have written some validation functions. Some functions will correct the data automatically, but shall show the changes it made, by viewing the content as new value of this formfield.

Doing it like this : $node->formfield_x = 'new Value' does not work.

How can I realize this function?

ok, a couple of problems i'm trying to fix without results since a couple of days.

-first:
In the admin/settings. The name of my site is frozen, stuck, fixed to "My drupal site". Even though i change it and save it, it always
comes back to "My drupal site".

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question. I'd like to change the WYSIWYG editor to use a product called XStandard Lite from http://xstandard.com Is there a module to do this or is it something that I easily can do myself. I know a bit of PHP and I am willing to give it a shot if someone can point me in the right direction. Thank you so much.

I want in the node.tpl to add the contents of a code manifestation voting this mold piece, should write so code?

Regarding voting module,I attempt in node.tpl use this section of code

<?php
 print theme('voting_control_flash', $content_type, $content_id, $attributes);
?> 

Can demonstrate the outward appearance, but cannot the true voting

Who can tell me the integrity the transfer code, thanks

I can't figure out how to make the filename descriptions to display.

I have tried putting a file named 'descript.ion' in the filebrowser
directory, but the description still does not show up.

The files in the filebrowser directory are:
file1.pdf
file2.pdf
descript.ion

The contents of descrpt.ion is:
file1.pdf file one
file2.pdf file two

However, I don't see "file one" or "file two" displayed under
the files.

Thanks for any ideas!

I was wondering if the Database Administration (dba) module was still alive?

I see version 4.5.x / 4.6.x era kicking about, but nothing for 4.7.x

It seams like a particularly handy tool if you want to allow other drupal admins/mods direct access to that database without using a third party tool like phpMyAdmin.
