Module development and code questions

Will the weblink module from http://drupal.org/project/weblink also run with drupal 4.7.b4 ?

with kind regards, holger

Searching for some pathauto analogs. This module doesn't fit my needs, 'cos its only adding tons of pa aliases. Maybe there are some implementation of true auto path module - I mean, smth user/1 changed to user/root, user/1/edit changed to user/root/edit and so on.

If I have a certain node type defined by some module and I want to extend the functionality of this node type, is it possible to create a "sub-module" so that I don't have to copy all the code (blabla hundreds of reasons why you don't like to do this...)?

I would think so, because all nodes are based on node and (can) overwrite node_hook (well, this is at least my perception as a real drupal noob), but I don't seem to find any documentation on how to do this.

Hi!

I have made some changes to a module that was already branched for DRUPAL-4-7. But the tar file available from the project page doesn't seem to be updated. It still shows "Download latest release (4.7.0, 17/01/2006 - 05:40)", but the last commit for branch DRUPAL-4.7 was at "Wed Feb 15 06:26:10 2006 UTC". This is 2 days ago. Maybe the cvslog module missed that or is it pending to run?

Hello,

I just added to CVS my first attempt at a module, mediumvote:

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/mediumvote/

From README.txt:

MediumVote is based on Eaton's excellent SimpleVote module.

In learning SimpleVote and VotingAPI I wanted to extend some of the features provided by SimpleVote, so I created MediumVote to:

I haven't had any difficulty installing modules before, but for some reason I'm having difficulty with the Views module.

Everything looks ok. I have properly added the tables to MySQL. I have modified my permissions appropriately in Access Control. But, when I click on "Views", nothing loads - I just get a white screen. When I check the page source of this white screen, no code appears - just nothing.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Should I copy the include files somewhere (this is the only thing I can think of).

Thanks in advance.

Christine
