Module development and code questions

This is a module/patch proposal for CCK.
Ok, here goes. I want too create a content-type where users can submit a custom made review(content type). That also includes 'rate'-features. Like if the user want to rate a game:

eg.

Learning Curve: 15 min
Graphics: 60%
Sound: 75%
Playbility: 80%
Overall: 74%

And if the he wants, a simple text field....

Hi

I am no expert on PHP, Java, Tomcat or Drupal. But I have a question concerning them all.
Is it possible to develop a module making it possible to use apache tomcat with Drupal ?
If it was, it would be easy to create apps with Google web toolkit and still use Drupal for
content management.

In short you can have the best of both worlds.

I have installed the node privacy byrole module and enabled it in both places. I can then go and set the permissions how I want them but the change does nothing. The permissions remain unchanged. I am also using the webserver_auth module could this be conflicting with the node privacy byrole module?I am out of ideas so any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks

I installed the latest swish-cvs on a 4.7 system. When I go to administer >> settings >> swish, this error occurs in my error_log:

Call to undefined function:  form_textfield()  in /var/www/html/doadance/drupal03/modules/swish/swish.module on line 65,

I read that the cvs version of swish can be updated to run under 4.7 using FormsAPIUpdate (http://drupal.org/node/59396)

So, I downloaded the Form Updater (4.7), installed and followed the instructions here http://drupal.org/book/export/html/36051 to update the swish.module file.

In that process, this:

function swish_settings(){
  swish_validate_paths();
  $output = form_textfield(t('Swish-E Path'), 'swish_path', 
    variable_get('swish_path', '/usr/local/bin/swish-e'), 20,40,
	t('The absolute path of the swish-e binary.'));
  $output .= form_textfield(t('M$ Word Filter Path'), 'catdoc_path',
	variable_get('catdoc_path', '/usr/local/bin/catdoc'), 20,40,
	t('The absolute path of the M$ Word filter.'));
  $output .= form_textfield(t('M$ Excel Filter Path'), 'xls2csv_path',
	variable_get('xls2csv_path', '/usr/local/bin/xls2csv'), 20,40,
	t('The absolute path of the M$ Excel filter'));
  $output .= form_textfield(t('PDF Filter Path'), 'pdftotext_path',
	variable_get('pdftotext_path', '/usr/local/bin/pdftotext'), 20,40,
	t('The absolute path of the PDF filter.'));
  $output .= form_textfield(t('RTF Filter Path'), 'unrtf_path',

I've started an issue with the Event Module, but I thought I'd try to see if anyone has managed to get the Event Module fully working with CCK.

I've made a few patches to Event in order to get it to populate the 'event type filter control' drop down menu on calendar views. I've patched in order to get 'human readable' event type node titles in calendar views. So far, so good.

Hi,
I have installed phpfreechat and the modules. But I have a problem, I can't admin the modules. When I go to the setup page of the phpfreechat appare this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: form_group() in /web/htdocs/www.example.it/home/modules/phpfreechat/phpfreechat.module on line 144

Can you help me?
