Module development and code questions

Well, I'm a total newbie to all things CVS and can't quite figure out what I'm doing. I've downloaded SmartCVS and used it to get the latest version of ecommerce/Drupal in the past, but now I'm interested in uploading a module to the contrib directory and can't figure out how. As the pages here on the site are "geared toward the Linux user," I haven't been able to get a handle on things in Windows. If anyone has used SmartCVS here or knows what it is I need to do to move my module's directory into the contrib directory with the appropriate tag, I'd love the help. Many thanks.

I am newbie to Drupal. First, I thank the Drupal developers for providing this excellent software.

Hi. I'm developing a module (an address book) and every time someone adds, edits or deletes one card I insert with watchdog a registry note with:

watchdog('Address Book', t('Edited card with name').': '.$edit['name'], WATCHDOG_NOTICE, l(t('view'), 'ck_clientes/see/'.$id));

The problem is that it adds two lines, I mean that I see two lines on the logs registry, and I guess it should be only one.

Please, any help to solve this double insertion?

Hi,

I have a few stumbling blocks (new to drupal) which answers to would help me loads!

1) I've looked at the Forms API for 4.7, and I notice in there that there's a form_submit() function, I assumed I always needed this to submit my form... However, when looking at module example (http://drupaldocs.org/api/head/file/contributions/docs/developer/example...) there's no submit?

I can see a node_example_insert, and node_example_update - do those override the submit? Or do I only need the form_submit if I'm writing a piece of code which isn't a module?

2) How do I call my module? At the moment, I just inserted the module_example_form() into a random node and the form is displayed ... is that the proper way to do it?

3) In the example, the hook_view implementation is:

function node_example_view(&$node, $teaser = FALSE, $page = FALSE) {
$node = node_prepare($node, $teaser);
$order_info = theme('node_example_order_info', $node);
$node->body .= $order_info;
$node->teaser .= $order_info;
}

does the 'theme... node_example_order_info' part call:

function theme_node_example_order_info($node) {
$output = '

';
return $output;
}

That?

work module for me (4.7-rc2)
The module is collected from components
DB-1.7.6
Pear-1.4.9
PHP-openid-1.0.0
Openid.module 1.0

http://edig.art-golovkov.com/files/OpenID.tar.bz2

This module adds OpenID consumer support to Drupal 4.7.0-beta4, although it may work with earlier versions.  The module requires version 0.9.2 of the PHP OpenID library.  Enjoy!

Hi all.

I thought I would share a simple module I cooked up. I wanted to be able to display a google ads banner beween every five entries on the front page. The way I did it was this:

Modify the node.module

In function node_page_default() I made some changes ....
