Module development and code questions

The Banner module only allow one banner to show each moment randomly.
I need the module to show all my banners at the same time, the hole time (without randomness).

As you can see at my site Whiplashinfo.se I have all ads (banners) at right position in the window.

Is this possible to modify or..?

Does Flatforum work for template slurpee on 4.7? I cant seem to get it working but it seems to work ok with the bluemarine template. I do however want to use slurpee.

The problem is forum topics appear like articles with one main chunk with comment at the end and then just comments appearing underneath. They dont appear anything like forums, there is no reply, edit or delete options, and the comments appear in a flat list.

Thanks

Hello there! I apologize if this post is overly newbie-like. I'm no drupal maintainer, just a user from a drupal site working on improving itself; I was wondering if there are any modules that allow for "tagging" files?

I say tags, but they are more like keywords that are added and compiled together as more are made. A great example is the tagging system of YouTube or Google Videos, but also Last.FM and many other sites.

Hi

I am embedding latex markup in book nodes and then generating the pdf files from it on the server. My books have become large so that the LaTeX processing takes quite long. Everything works perfectly for small books without any problems.

On the edit form I have a radio button for the user to select if they want to generate the pdf file - it just runs a small function in my module which makes a system call similar to:

system("files/latex/make_pdf_file.sh $filename");

For long compiles I get a blank white screen back after clicking submit. I have logged into the server and noticed that the script to make the pdf files is still running after the blank screen has shown up. I can see the static blank screen - type ls on the server and see no pdf file - wait a minute then ls again and the pdf file is there.

So my reasoning is that my little system call somehow takes too long and I am getting the first part of the drupal headers back but then somehow things get confused. The url for the blank screen is still the edit page: http://domain.name/?q=node/444/edit so refreshing to pressing enter just takes me back to the edit page even though the script did complete in the end.

I am not even sure where to start looking for a solution to this, is it something I can handle in drupal, or in php settings or would apache need modifications?

AJAX calls to the function occurred to me but I am not that adept yet but I think that could be a way out.

I'm install singnup module and enable the user to register to a node.
Up to here everything works well, but I need to limit the number of register user for each node, there is a way to do this? or is necesary to write some modifications to this module.

Thank's

I want to create a block that alerts users of when people's bithdays are coming up. I want to add a date field into their profile that they can fill in, and then have the block look through the list of users and display any that have a birthday in the next week or so.

I understand how to access a single user's profile info when looking at their profile page with user->profile_field, but how would I go about searching the database for valid birthdates?

Thanks
