Module development and code questions

i am trying to set a default value for the body textarea in /node/add/story, but i must understand something wrong. the title works fine...but no body default value is beeing set. any hints?

Please help.
Have developed a module like bookreview. It has authors that can be inputed using free tagging taxonomy vocabulary. The problem is that I don't want authors to be sorted by term weigths when displaying. I want to see them in such order as they were inputted. Any simple ideas?

Here is a scriptaculous module that implements many of the visual effects available on http://script.aculo.us/

Installation

I'm working on a module to integrate SSP (http://slideshowpro.net/) with drupal/image, however, why do I always get "access denied" with this piece of code? (even when loggged in as user/1)

I was getting very fed up with having to insert Flash content using hand written script in my posts, so I have taken the image module and used it as a start point for a new flash node.

My home page is running some examples at the moment - all the Flash elements on the front page are being generated via the module.

The module lets you choose a Flash file to upload, set its height, width etc. You can also choose whether you want the Flash content to display in the teaser, the body, or both.

It is also using unobtrusive flash objects to insert the code, so it should degrade nicely for older browsers. It also means your page stays standards compliant.

The module code itself is a little bit (ok, quite a bit!) messy as I basically took a copy of image and hacked it. It has had no optimisation yet and there's a lot of stuff that can probably be removed.

The module requires that you create a new table in your database, to store the Flash parameters for the files.

It might be somewhat inelegant internally, but it seems to be doing the job, and I've found it much easier to upload my vague attempts at Flash by using it. Because it borrows from image it also means that if you delete posts then the corresponding Flash file is deleted, which makes for neat housekeeping.

Hello Community,

Currently, I'm using the video.module in my website as a video podcast. I have made a taxonomy term for each video, 'podcast'. This way I can submit the taxonomy feed to all of the major podcast services.

I'm wondering if it is possible to modify the feed somehow to include some more podcast specific tags. I saw in the video.module you can add your own fields to it. Are these included in the feed?
