Module development and code questions

I set up a drupal environment in windows, and I developed some modules with this environment.
there is another machine with FreeBSD, this machine has also a drupal environment with the same version, but i haven't the right to login this machie, so i only can ftp the modules from windows machine to this FreeBSD machine.
but when i ftp these modules to FreeBSD machine, i can not access the website at all, no errors, no contents, just a white area with nothing on it.
these modules can work well on windows, and drupal on FreeBSD can work well too without these modules.

This is an informal list of plans for contrib modules being ported to 5.x. I want to emphasize that these are informal guestimates by the maintainers and no one should expect exact ETAs. If you maintain a module and have an idea of if and/or when you'll be porting it to 5.x, please add your comment.

Please note: Modules not listed here should be considered to be just unknown status. Don't assume they won't be / haven't been ported. Maintainers are busy people and may not see this or have time to comment. Also, please do not reply unless you are a module maintainer. Asking, "Will X module be ported?" will just clutter the list. Off topic comments will be deleted to keep this post informative and easy to read. This forum post is sticky on top of the Module development forum so it is easy to find.

For information on updating modules to 5.x, see node 64279 . If there is a module you need ported and you know PHP, consider contacting the maintainer and offering to help (or just create a patch and attach it to an issue in that module's issue queue).

Maintainers: The branch is now DRUPAL-5. See node 86823 for details. Please refer to the next Drupal version as 5.x, not 5.0, to avoid confusion.

Looking for the 5.x version? You can now filter by "5.x" on all of the module download pages. You can also find them by searching the 5.x Drupal core compatibility category listing (also available as an RSS feed). You can also get these modules directly from the contributions repository in CVS (using the DRUPAL-5 branch). Be sure to check the issue queue, too, as many modules have an issue devoted to discussion of the 5.x port.

[Nov 2: All but the last 3 comments integrated. Will work on this more tomorrow.]
[Nov 19: Updated info on where to find 5.x releases now that the new release system is live.]

Any one knows how to make the fields collapsible just like blocks (when using collapsiblock)??

I'm making a module of the Lace Ajax Chat system and having problems with a global var being seen within functions of included php files.

the process tree looks a little like this
---------------------------------------------------------------------
lace.module -> include common.php
common.php -> include multiple files
/lib/classes/LaceData.php
/lib/classes/LaceActivity.php
/lib/lib_utils.php
/lib/lib_lace.php
...more

common.php -> create new instance of laceActivty class
$A = &new LaceActivity();

common.php -> call validateSession() func - inside included 'lib_utils.php'

lib_utils.php (validateSession)
global $A;
echo "\$A is ".gettype($A);
==> "$A is NULL"
---------------------------------------------------------------------

so... $A is not catching scope inside the funcs... if i test it outside a func in the global code of the included files they all see it just fine as the Object, but once inside a func it's a no go.

if i run Lace on it's own on my server, this code and scope has no problem at all so it's something specific to the drupal envirnment that my $A var is not truely getting scoped as global. is there some trick that i have to register a var as a global with drupal or something?

Would someone please offer a fix for the following -- ?

I have a site set up with Organic Groups. When a user clicks on an event to view the event detail, several links appear underneath the event details:
link to main calendar
link to the Org. Group calendar
printer-friendly version

I want to remove the link to the Organic Group calendar. Can someone please tell me where to find this code?

Thanks!

hi,
is there a module or method for a visual confirmation (this letter thing) code for anonymous users posting comments?

I looked through the modules and did a search but came up emtpy.

If there is not, I'm thinking of implementing a basic version myself.
I had to disable anonymous comments because bots hit too often these days.
