Module development and code questions

How do I create a custom filter ?
Do I need to write a new module or does drupal supports creating custom filters on the fly ?
Or better still is there a module that allows creating multiple custom filters ?

thanks

I would overide the normal user creation by checking before a third party usertable and then syncronize them two user accounts data.

I know the password as md5, the user and the email and i would add drupal users with them.
But original user creation function sends an email with random pass.

I installed the video.module but it's not working. I click on create content, then video and I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: image_prepare() in /home/filmpod/public_html/podcast1/modules/video/plugins/video_image/video_image.module on line 70

I did do the update.php.

What seems to be the problem?

Thank you,

Hi, this is what I'm trying to do:

1. Create a content type out of CCK with a selection box with several options.
2. Before the node is inserted/updated, I want to extract the selected option and manipulate it.

Step 2 what I don't know how to do. If I was modifying a story/page node, I would play around with hook_view() or something like that, but I'm not sure what to do with CCK.

Thanks.

Hi

I am new to drupal and am really enjoying it. I am looking to set up an online store. I have downloaded and installed "ecommerce-4.7.0" module and so far it looks good.

I am able to create products and pages but i am not sure how you actually add the products to the page without doing it manually. There must be a easy way of doing this.

Can someone advise me on the best way of doing this and if anyone knows of a guide or video on how to do this i would be very gratful.

Cheers
Chris

I'm using Komodo on a Mac,and trying to debug my local drupal install. I know this is possible as I see someone has already done it http://old.mostlygeek.com/node/83. Everything seems to be installed correctly: komodo is listening on port 9000 and the php.ini is defined to use 9000. I can debug by executing the program within the debugger and supplying the arguments but I can't seem to get it to work the other way, i.e appending the XDEBUG_SESSION_START= to the url.
