Module development and code questions

I am working on a module for which I want the title to be generated by the contect of others fields (for example, Name + Surname).
With Drupal 4.7, I can hide the title, or change the way it is asked in the form. But can I make it an hidden element, automatically generated from the content of other fields ??

Thanks for your help !!

I've created a new node type, which allows anonymous users to post something and puts their email address into a database. The whole idea here is to not show their email address. I've added a form to the bottom of the node, allowing people to contact the user.

There lies my problem in getting an email sent to the original user. I can't even seem to get a generic email sent when the form is filled out...

This is all new to me and I've been searching/reading for days but nothing I try seems to work. :P

Someone nudge me in the right direction?

Hello! I am interested in removing the script that checks that the person in the "Authored by" field of the submit story page is a registered user. I would like to be able to publish some stories on my site that are by authors that are not registered on my site. Thanks for the assistance.

So, I am in the process of developing a module. There is a component that I am still not sure on the design of. Basically, I am looking at wanting to embed an image on the page as part of the module. The question I have is, what is the best approach to exposing this? I should add the idea is that the image is coming from an external server. The URL for the image is defined as part of the module.

For several sites, on a group of servers, I would like
to publish / exchange some dinamic content.

I am thinking about blocks, or RSS-Feeds, ... or
may be creating static info-files based on block content.

Any suggestion or help is welcome.

Best regards

I have a custom node type/module called "summaries" that I'd like to exclude from all search results. I see ways to get my module included in the search api docs, but how do I exclude a specific node->type?

Search http://www.realself.com for Microdermabrasion and the 9th result down you'll see "summaries" - this is only supposed to be visible to editors/admins. The access permissions are setup correctly.
