Module development and code questions

Hey all

I've been trying to fix a problem with my module for a few days now and I'm just not getting anywhere... Thought I'd ask for some help :o)

Here's some example code:

<?php
/**
* Edits table header.
*/
function tablemanager_tableedit($edit) {
if (!is_numeric($edit)) {
drupal_access_denied();
}
$fetch = db_fetch_object(db_query('SELECT tm.name, tm.header, tm.description, tmd.data
FROM {tablemanager} tm
LEFT JOIN {tablemanager_data} tmd ON tm.tid = tmd.tid
WHERE tm.tid = %d',
$edit));
if (!$fetch) {
drupal_not_found();
}
if (!user_access('administer tables')) {
drupal_access_denied();
}
switch ($_POST['op']) {
default:
$col = substr($_POST['op'], 16);
$form['row'] = array(
'#type' => 'hidden',
'#value' => check_plain($edit),
);
$form['col'] = array(
'#type' => 'hidden',
'#value' => $col,
);
$header = unserialize($fetch->header);
if (count($header) == '1') {
drupal_goto('admin/tablemanager/tabledelete/'.$edit);
return;
}
$output = confirm_form(
'tablemanager_columndelete',
$form,
t("Are you sure you want to delete column '%col'?", array('%col' => $col)),

My code below (in my hook_menu() relationship_menu() )

    $items[] = array (
      'path' => 'admin/relationship/tidy',
      'title' => t('check database'), 
      'callback' => 'relationship_check_database', 
      'access' => user_access('administer predicates'), 
      'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK
    );
    $items[] = array (
      'path' => 'admin/relationship/tidy/flush',
      'title' => t('flush term cache'), 
      'callback' => 'relationship_flush_terms', 
      'access' => user_access('administer predicates'), 
      'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK
    );

Does not work. The "flush cache" link should appear as a secondary local task listed underneath the normal "check database" page.
(the callback does trigger when requested by hand)
The link just fails to appear.

When I add a second secondary local task under the tidy/ path "check database"

    $items[] = array (
      'path' => 'admin/relationship/tidy/all',
      'title' => t('list all'),
      'callback' => 'relationship_list_all',
      'access' => user_access('administer relationships'),
      'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
    );

... They BOTH show up.

Of course I have to re-save the modules page to reset the callback paths each time.

I tracked the problem down to menu.inc:
menu_secondary_local_tasks()
<?php
foreach ($local_tasks[$pid]['children'] as $mid) {

I'm using contemplate to theme cck output

Here is the code from the template box (of contemplate) for me to modify

BEGIN CODE
div class="field-items"

foreach ((array)$field_nameofmyfield as $item) {

div class="field-item"

print $item['view']

END CODE
(I had to modify it because it was being interpreted as formatting by drupal.org

but, what do i do wrong - other than changing core module :) - if i've added a story_load function to story_module and return few additional parameters from a joined table filtered by nid. my problem is with this method: it works well even in my other own module, but not with taxonomy. the attributes i load with story_load are missing from node object when using taxonomy/xyz.
[my module uses node_load and node_view, no hack - at least i hope so..:)

thx in advance..

/h

[i still dont get the nodeapi_example on api.drupal...]

I recently updated my drupal from 4.6.3 to 4.7.2 and I found out I have to change the most part of form in my module. The most confusing part was there are several ways to generate a form. Could someone help me and clarify the following?

1. When do you want to use hook_form and when do want to generate a form using drupal_get_form function?

2. What is the mos elegant way to integrate javscript codes with your form?

Many thanks in advance.

As indicated in this URL http://drupal.org/node/70396, it's impossible to translate the terms "preview", "thumbnail", "original". This problem concern the image module.

I post this message here because I use Drupal for a french site, and I would like -if possible- to have this problem solved ! ;-)

Thank you if someone can resolve this bug. ;-)
