Module development and code questions

I host the site www.ukfans.uk. I am looking at an easy way for my members to create images in their blogs.
I have experimented with several image modules and have decided on using Image & img_assist. Once an image is included in a blog using the img_assist & IMG tag (HTML), the IMG link is incorrect if a user updates or deletes the image file. How can I educate my members to update any posts that have IMG tags when they update the Image node ? Is there a more efficeint way of handling this ?

I am interested in some non-standard new account options:

A new account that is created and an access level is immediately granted. However, if the user wants full access, then they need to validate their account via email.

This idea was presented to me as a way of allowing the ease of new account setup but delaying the email validation step. This would give the user full access immediately but only for a certain time period.

Hi everyone

I have started upgrading the video field to work with flexinode in 4.7: http://drupal.org/node/11193 .

The script works fine on my local server, however on my hosted server the video is uploaded to the tmp folder but then never moved to 'files'. Uploading the same video in acidfree or with the video module works fine on the server. I have double checked all the folder permissions.

I'm working on a module for the Ecommerce package that will allow payment processing through the EFSnet gateway. I've got it working mostly, but would like to iron out the details before posting the code.

Is there anyone else who would be interested in an ESFnet gateway?

I changed the Aggregator module so that it uses a seperate database. It is working fine but only if I have the system and sequences table in the same database. This will not do.

Looking thrue the aggregator module I cannot find where the code is that goes after the sequences and system tables so that I can point the queries to the right DB.
Can someone please point me in a direction here.

Thanks.

Okay, I admit it was late at night (or early morning) when I did this -- perhaps I should have gone to bed.

I'm building a Drupal site based heavily on the use of organic groups. The group leaders create content that only members of their group are allowed to see.
