Module development and code questions

I'm trying to add a few values to the $_SESSION array in hook_user (login), but
I dont have access to $_SESSION and dont know why ...

The following code

function test_user($op, &$edit, &$user, $category = NULL) {
  switch ($op) {
  case 'login':
    echo session_id();
    var_dump($_SESSION);
    break;
  }
}

returns d0c9f0a45960d0300672646c4f0bd873 array(0) { }.

Hey,

Im wondering if there is some way of fetching news story's by RSS and putting the intro/link to the main article on my website -- (preferably published as something like a story) but then allowing user comments below them.

I've taken a look at the RSS Comment module, but I don't really like the way that or the aggregator publish comments/articles -- quite differently from the rest of the drupal site.

Anyone know of any other modules of a method to achieve something like this? :)

Cheers

Where do I go to resize the blocks. I noticed that while I was developing (switching between having story and weblink nodes) the size of the center block would expand or retract. I want to use the Weblink mode, and for some time the center block was a smaller size.

I went in and deleted some old content and now, the center block is large again.

This is only for creating a usable website for my users. With a big center block, it gets dificult to read the content.

Any ideas on how to make the center block small again?

I modifed about 200 articles (custom module based on story nodes) to be Books today. I ended up with nodes with mis-matched vids. Because Books seem to be "revisions aware" and what I was porting from didn't care - the new pages were not loading data correctly.

Eventually I figured out that the Nid/Vids were not paired corrrectly between the node table and node_revisions table. Matching these did the trick - although I ended up with about 20 that had duplicate keys. Will manually enter those as new nids.

When I use i18n with flexinode's tables.
I found i18n can't get "?from=xx" from url.

I put the code below into file i18n.inc function i18n_l, befor "return":

  // get querys from $_GET
  $querys=array();
  foreach($_GET as $key => $val)
  {
    if($key!='q')$querys[]= $key.'='.$val ;
  }
  if($querys) $query=implode('&',$querys);

it works.
