Module development and code questions

I installed the event module and ran the mysql script to create the required table. When I go in to Blocks, and check the box to activate Events, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: base_path() in /home/bikecalg/public_html/modules/event/event.theme on line 421

Anyone know what that means?

thanks

i run attachment in drupal 4.7, but i find it has code error with filename of the attached files.
can it support utf-8?
i use chinese drupal 4.7.0

I have theme_mymodule_content AND theme_mymodule_list.

I need to be able to call $node->cat from the theme_mymodule_content to use within theme_mymodule_list.

This is so that I get "cat" for that specific node and not a list of nodes using a sql query.

The purpose of doing this so that I get the "cat" for that node, so I can filter theme_mymodule_list with LIKE "$node->cat".

Any ideas on this OR a different method?

Thanks!

I can't figure out why but a site that I'm working on is no longer searching taxonomy terms. I've not upgraded, but my hosts have made changes to the mysql databases.

I've read of a few people facing similar problems and the response has simply been to point out that taxonomy_search is no longer being maintained. What I really need to know is *why* it stopped working and if it's possible to tweak it. (The ability to search taxonomy is vital to the site and upgrading to 4.7 is not an option.)

As per subject, my module requires that I add an entry to the create content page but its not a normal node - it's a completely separate set of module functions and CANNOT be a node. It wouldn't make logical sense (plus it'd mean a whole lot of recoding!) Anyways, I've added an entry to hook_menu for 'node/add...' which works fine, but this doesn't automatically produce an entry on the actual create content page, obviously only in the menu? I've created the entries in hook_help, but as I expected - that wasn't the answer either...

The related_nodes module is not i18n-compliant.

It looks possible to cheat with language-dependant taxonomy in order to link only to content from the same language, but the block title is not multilingual.

Changing line 100 of related_nodes.module to :
$blocks['subject'] = t(variable_get('related_nodes_block_title', 'Related Nodes'));
instead of
$blocks['subject'] = variable_get('related_nodes_block_title', t('Related Nodes'));

solves the problem.
