Module development and code questions

Hey folks,

I'm not really able to write modules myself, but I could really do with a module which creates news clips.

I've learned enough to know that the concept is feasible and probably can be written really quickly, so I would appreciate if anyone can dish this out.

newsclip.module: Description

Pretty much the standard 'story.module' but with two extra fields which means that the clips would have to have their own DB entry.

extra field 1: Link to original article
extra field 2: Link to article's image (possibly an optional upload field?)

I need to manage a lot of files in a drupal website: every user registered in the site should have a personal page with his own private files. Those files should not be downloaded from different users than the owner.

First I've tried to use the "bookmarks" module for manage the file list, but in this way, there is no security: everyone can download all files. So I have tro find another way to resolv this problem... I've looked in the forums and in the drupal docs, but I've found nothing.

Who can help me?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I don't think the following should be too difficult to implement, given its built into the core potentially.

Basically, how would I go about creating an autocompleting 'tag search' form, like a search box?

This would help users avoid having to browse a long page of taxonomy terms. They could simply start to type in a possible term and if its there it will offer it (in exactly the same way the current form does for creating new node types with free tagging).

How can I get the node ID, that will be post after the filter processing $text ,in a filter module?

Thanks a lot.

Are there any contact form modules, or form-creator modules that have captchas? My site contact forms are getting spammed, and I suppose I'm prob going to have to require an account but I really don't want to do that. I'd rather allow anonymous users to post feedback with a captcha thing in the form. Is there a way to add that to every node even??

I know there is big discussion about meta tags... but is there way to add meta tags and description to 4.7?
