Module development and code questions

Ive have been looking around for awhile for a quality classifieds module, with no luck. I then went on drupalancers.com and submitted this project to be built. I have found a consultant, Mike at IXIS.

I originally wanted him to do something similar to:http://www.activefarming.com/classifieds-for-drupal

But he came back with this; "We can do one better and produce a classified system using CCK, images and the flexibility of adding additional advert types. Using CCK over Flexinode will provide more robustness for site scalability - if you hope it will grow. As a team we can produce the work quickly, and if needed offer additional (cost) web design services to make the classifieds look eye catching and appealing. Previous work is available in our portfolio: www.ixis.co.uk/portfolio"

I have since been in talks with him to create this classifieds module which would support payments and images.

* If the classified is free they would not need to be registered as a paid-for-advert
* user creates an advert node (could be one of any amount) but it would remain unpublished
* on creation of an advert node they would have an item added to their shopping basket (ecommerce package)
* the user would be pushed through to the checkout, or maybe they could create multiple adverts in one go?
* upon payment completion the advert node would become published for all to read.

The cost to build such a module is going to be around $2000 U.S.D.

I'm periodically importing a bunch of content in a nonstandard way and want to use pathauto to bulk generate aliases for anything that doesn't already have an alias.

I'm currently attempting to use pathauto_create_alias to accomplish this, but while the code runs without errors, it also doesn't seem to bulk generate missing aliases.

From my listing module:

I am trying to alter the forms produced dynamically by profile.module. form another module. After lot's of trial and error and a hint or two from the mailing list I have gotten.

Hey there, is there work being done anywhere to connect users from different CMSs? What I mean is, allowing a Joomla user to post on a Drupal site, and vice versa.

I created a cck node with a userreference filed type. The userreference field type is not available in the filters. Is this normal behavior or is it a problem?

It is available in fields and arguments.

Thanks in advance.

i want to share a module that i use for uploading images with tinymce. it's a very lightweight module working with 4.7.x.
Features:
- doesnt require any other image related modules since image handling is minimal. no image nodes. no thumbnail creation.
- allows only .jpg, .png, and .gif formats.
- upload, list, view and delete images.
- uploads images to personal directories. (system_file_directory/u.userid)
- configurable upload limits: Filesize per upload(default:100kb), image dimensions(default:500x500), total quota per user(default:500kb).
- upload and administer permissions for user roles. administer permission removes upload limits.
- detects tinymce action and automatically throws necessary .js to activate image browser. it uses tinymce's "file_browser_callback" setting to be activated in tinymce's image popup window. By this method, nothing needs to be done in order to use the module except enabling the module in modules page.
