Module development and code questions

I want to port some php-script I made, to Drupal.
(It's a guestbook, a gallery, a ftp-client, and a bookmarks_collection_wanabe_manager. that I want to port to Drupal.)

Any ideer how..?
(or maybe a native English speeker, that can collaborate)

I guess folks want to see the pre-existing modules (as acidfree) improved, instead of new ones.

For example I have tested that "acidfree", and it didn't work with php-safemode, or if it was its dependens module "filemanager". ( I wanto remember that it was similar problem with the Smarty-themes, that I solved with 'compile_id' instead of new 'compile_dir'.) A too many subs dir, cant create files things owner problem.

My own gallery that once was based on a project called 'phpix', once. The navigation.. and etc are superb.. (in my view) hum.. hum.. ( take a look on my gallery: http://phoohb.shellkonto.se/?page=gallery&file=tvpics%2Friket2005 )

It use php-ftp as a backdoor to workaround for php-safemode.
BUT I don't know if ftp are standard, and gives extra configuration problems (that is configuration problems, for newbies).

So that was some ideer.

Im rather new user of Drupal, and not an expert on its coding standards. And guess that a port of all scripts I mentioned, will take several month (in a hot summer). Something I can't do, and if I (alone) attempt, will be bad result (or less good)?

What extra is, I need Drupals spaam protection, for my own guestbook (thats why I also need to port that). This guestbook also works as an download-page (I dislike visitor downloading without ever leaving any note) And this guestbook/downloadpage will also be integrated into the bookmarks-collection page. (where visitors homepages will apear). And I was thinking of testing using (this new toy) Ajax on my ftp-client.

Is there an easy way to read user input from a form when generating the next display of the same form?

Hi-

Drupal noob says:

I'm trying to slighly alter default Drupal nodes so they contain a few extra fields/variables which I can display/use for the display of images. With this in mind, I thankfully found CCK, which seems like all I need. I created a new type of content and created several fields for it. I also created a node template based on "node-content-example.tpl.php" with which I am successfully displaying the contents of my custom fields.

I need to send the mail to a user other than the one logged in. And I need to translate the text to the other_user's language.

Just a quick one for any worldpay.module (payment gateway for credit/debit cards in the uk) users out there...I've just updated it to automate the callback..

I'm looking for a few testers to give it a run before udating the "live" module.....it's in my sandbox at the moment.

If you have let me know. I'm trying to integrate phpmydirectory with a drupal install on an internal project.
