user list by permission

I needed to return a list of users who have access to a specific permission.

For example suppose you wanted a list of users who have permission to "post comments" in the comment module. This permission is typically enabled for multiple roles.

The following function will provide such a list. It could easily be expanded to support a dynamic number of permissions, but this suits my purpose for now.

Perhaps someone will find this useful.

URL Alias not working in one of my modules

I have programmed two modules recently.

They both have links to nodes as part of the menus.

They both refer to the nodes in the following way:

l($goto->title, "/node/$goto->nid");

In an instance where both modules refer to the same node, only one of them is linking to the URLALIAS (in this case, it is "/garage/89_civic") and the other links to "/node/231."

Order of hook activation, esp. concerning roles

Hello,

I am working on an idea I for Organic Groups I call "autogroups," where groups are created and populated automatically based on the roles in a system.

In looking to implement my solution, I want to act on user objects after updates to a user's role. It would seem the obvious hook to implement is hook_user.

Category module beta released

The long-awaited category module has finally been released! You can read all about the project's cool features, and its current status (and download it for CVS/4.7), at this page:

http://drupal.org/node/39683

The original category module proposal explains a lot of the concepts and motivations behind this project, as well as a huge number of comments that users have left over the past few months:

http://drupal.org/node/23730

customizing comments.module independently of category links.

this is probably bad form, but i was a bit irked since comment module adds itself to the links array, which also outputs the categories, so you get a bit less control over the display if you wanted to distinguish between the category link(s) and the "add a comment" link, for example.

a quick search and replace of "$links" to "$commentsLink" in comments.module, and then adding print $commentsLink to your theme (i use phptemplate for my engine) lets you have quite a bit more formatting power over that section of the output.

front_page with drupal 4.6.4 and latest PHP not working

Hello,

I am getting a error when using front_page on my new 4.6.4 with latest php version. The adminstration settings page just gives "Array" text and two buttons. All other modules are working fine. I was wondering if anyone has a fix?

Thanks,
John
