Module development and code questions

i want to let everybody can turn node(non-products and added by other body) into products,how can i do?

How do I maintain private calendar using event module. Is that possible?

I'ld be really grateful if somebody could explain this to me - I am really perplexed about how CVS works and nervous about trying things out on the Drupal CVS for fear of making a mess.

I should explain first that I'm using Tortoise CVS on Windows, so my view of how CVS works could be distorted...

Here's my problem: So far, I've successfully contributed several modules by loading them into CVS and then using the "tag" command on each individual file in the appropriate directory. This seems to work - you can download the zipped collection of Freemind files (there's the install.txt, the licence, the module itself, and a couple of example html files) for version 4.6. But now, I have begun converting my modules for 4.7 and I would like to create a 4.7 collection of the same files. Since only the module files has changed (all the others remain the same), there doesn't seem much point in uploading everything to CVS again. What should I do?

In the end, since I had already seen "tag" work, I loaded the new "freemind.module" file and tagged it DRUPAL-4-7. This has worked, up to a point. You can now download the Freemind module in 4.7 version, but logically enough the other files have not been included in the collection.

Should I create a branch or tag all the files? I suppose I could "tag" all the other files as well, but would this not then cause the 4.6 versions to disappear? Or should I create a "branch" (of the directory, or of all the files?) and what will happen if I do?

Hi,

One of our sites has a huge user database(with usernames and profiles). We wanted to port this information to Drupa. Previously I did this in a very naive way. I wrote a script which does bring the users and their profiles and copy them here, but the prob is with synchronzation of these websites. How can I got abt this. I did my homework but some stuff is not at all clear for me.

1) Use hook_auth to develop the authentication (Ex: imap_auth or SQL_auth).

Hello All,

I am trying to use hook_form_alter to modify the settings page of modules that defines a node type. What I need to do exactly is get all the fields defined by the node type so I can show them in a select field.

Is there a way for me to achive this? I am not that experience with the form api as yet so there may be an obvious way to do this.

I am also forseeing another problem. What about modules that modify the node_form for the module, how can I get access to those extra fields?

Thanks.

is there vote module that allow anonymous user to vote? or is there a fix for Simplevote module to allow this feature?
