Module development and code questions

Hi folks,

having installed 4.7beta1, I tried to install the node queue module. I drew the 4.7-updated version of the module off the downloads section. Everything went fine, until I tried to "add" a node queue. Hitting the button, I got the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: form_textfield() in /[myinstallaton]/modules/nodequeue.module on line 199

Could anybody be of help or make sense of this for me?

Best regards and thanks, Thorsten

i've been trying to get the task.module working on my site and it is still giving me the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: drupal_ucfirst() in /.../modules/task/task.module on line 1082

i've read the project notes and the suggestion about using the cvs release of the drupal head, but either it's not working for me or i misunderstood the fix because that is closing down drupal all together for me. any suggestions for what i can do to get this module running, or are there any other modules for tasks/todo lists or productivity in general?

Does anyone have any code written to display how many items a user has in their shopping cart, and if it's greater than none, to display the total (without displaying a complete inventory)? I know there's a function in cart.module for this--get_cart_items I think? But it might require the inventory listing.. anyone know?

Hi everyone,

I'm just trying to install the paypal module on mysql 5 and have run into a few errors when running the database script, and I was just wondering if anyone has managed to get it working to save me some effort :)

Many thanks in advance,

(PS - I've done a search of the forums but didn't find anything)

I want to have ~6 buttons in the same form, each w/ different operation. When user clicks "save" I want the function [form name]_submit() to save. When he clicks "run" I want it to save then go to another piece of code. Trouble is, I cannot get my function [form name]_submit() to pick up the value of the button that was clicked.

Hi there. I'm currently working a bit on a project where we would need a more powerful "comments engine" than the standard one provided by drupal. (Much because of that we needed a more powerful forum, and wanted the forum users to be able to comment articles). The idea was trying to implement punBB for this purpose (www.punbb.org). A bit tricky since punbb has has it's own authentication and we don't whant to mess around with that do we? ;) This is not the main issue though. First I tought it would be quite easy, just replacing the original comments module with a punbb powered one. But when I started to look at the comment.module code, I began to feel very confused. No big surprise there, I've started out just yesturday and I'm therefore quite new to how Drupal works. But after reading though some more guides I just felt I needed to ask someone about this, or it would take ages to figure out. ;) I'll just fire away then.

Some of the first questions that spring to my mind:

This comments module, could you look at it as a kind of interface module witch all other modules use for commenting functionallity?

If so, what hooks/functions would I need to implement in a punbb version for it to work with other modules? All of them? Just some "output" function?

Do I even need to owerwrite the comment.module or is there another way of setting the "comment engine" for a module?
