Module development and code questions

I'm upgrading a client's site to 4.7. A large part of their site is movie reviews. I thought there was a compatible version of the moviereview module, but it appears to be non-functional. I checked in CVS and it looks like the files (with the exception of the .pgsql script) haven't changed in 5 months or more. Has it been abandoned? Are there newer versions of the files on some other webpage or CVS repository?

Hi,

Is there any *official* way of adding my own form element types - e.g. '#type' => 'directory'.
I would like to write my own rendering and basic processing of the type.

Thanks in advance.

We've been waiting for cck to come out. It looks like cck may not be ready for quite awhile.

Knowing something like "4.8 will include a stable CCK, so you can plan
> accordingly" (or not) is valuable

We can't make any such promises, and therefore, we won't. The CCK
will be ready when it's ready.

It sounds like cck may not be ready for 4.8 (which means of course it won't be in 4.7).

I'm working on our breadcrumbs this morning, and would like to find the node ID of the referring page.

We are using url aliases, so for instance on this page: http://www.realself.com/laser_resurfacing_for_facial_skin_rejuvenation.html

I'd like to be able to see what node ID referred in, and provide that back to users as a breadcrumb.

I just installed flexinode on 4.7.0b6. How do I get the author field to show up? There is no choice to add an author field? It doesn't show up on the node. I need to use the actual default Drupal author field (not just create one) because I am using tagnode to link it to the author's Drupal profile field. Similarly, how do I make the date submitted information show up?

The author and date fields are enabled for all nodes and show up on all other nodes.

Good morning,

I'm trying to figure out how to customize the upload module for use in a module that I'm writing. The main purpose of the module I'm writing is to allow users to upload XML files from their computer. The upload form doesn't need anything other than the file text box and "Attach" button from the upload module. The title and body of the node will be set programatically by the data within the XML file.

My question is this: is it possible to customize the appearance of the upload module? Ideally, I'd like to do the following:
