Module development and code questions

I have a single forum on our site www.batgung.com, and would like it to be the single 'what's new' list for all content. It looks like forum_get_topics is where the list of nodes to be displayed is generated, so I was thinking I could change the SQL to also return story nodes.

Is it that simple, or is it going to break a lot of things elsewhere?

Or is there a better way I should be looking at this?

Hi

I've got a content part that contains the following fields:

- Subtitle_1 (text field)
- Subtext_1 (text area)
- Subtitle_2 (text field)
- Subtext_2 (text area)
- Subtitle_3 (text field)
- Subtext_3 (text area)

Working with Contemplate module I'd like to create a template that breaks the content part into three pages and shows Subtitle 2 and 3 as navigation links to page 2 and 3.

I tried to use the paging module - but it doesn't seem to work with Contemplate. Can anyone help with some php?

Thanks

Hi

Using 4.6, I was able to figure out (with a friend's help), how to get the blogit button to show up beneath each item when a logged-in user with sufficient permissions visits an aggregator category or source page (not just in the aggregator blocks). However, I've just spent 2.5 hrs staring at the aggrator module code for 4.7 and can't figure out how to mod this. Can someone please throw me a PHP bone here? I would appreciate it so much.

What is the status of Node moderation module for 4.7. It is listed in the 4.7 modules but the promotion feature does not seem to work. Anyone have any word on the latest development on it (and I mean the very latest - am pretty sure I've been through everything that's been documented so far)

Thanks...

I have a problem using my Drupal CMS.

I activated Search block, but no-one but me can see and use Search form. This is wrong and I would like that everybody can use Search form. Please help!

I have a modified story module for which I have a block that displays the three most recent story titles in reverse chronological order. How can I also show the first n charecters of the most recent story and the first n/2 of the 2nd and 3rd most recent in this block? I haven't been able to find much for this with the CCK or anything similar...am I just missing something?
thanks
