Module development and code questions

I have used TinyMCE on my website from my computer at home.
When I log in from my computer at work I do only see the simple profile (a whole bunch of buttons are missing).
What is the meaning of this? All authenticated users have access to the advanced theme.

I saw this post on kottke.org this morning and decided to give a Yahoo maps module a shot.

Here's the first draft: Yahoo Mapping Module for Drupal. There are a lot of configuration options yet to be integrated, but it works pretty much as expected. The module requires location.module and event.module in order to plot upcoming concerts.

I'd like to create a module that is powered by Flash. Flash would need access to certain data from the database. What would you guys recommend for integrating the Drupal backend into flash? Would the first step be to create a SOAP module or something? Thanks.

Hello drupal folks.

I wrote my first module last night. And it seemed too easy like I probably missed something critical. It works as intended. But beings this is my first module, I would appreciate some wiser eyeballs giving it the once over.

The module is to basically provide author specific pages/feeds via ?q=author/uid or ?q=author/uid/feed

I took code from the taxonomy module and tweaked as necessary. don't know why the spacing isn't sticking oh well.

Feedback is much appreciated.

/**

/**

function author_page_help($section) {
switch ($section) {
case 'admin/modules#description':
return t('Provides a page for nodes by author');
}
}

/**

/*
*don't think this is needed
function author_page_perm() {
return array('access author page');
}
*/

/**
* Implementation of hook_menu().
*/
function author_page_menu($may_cache) {
$items = array();

if ($may_cache) {
$items[] = array('path' => 'author', 'title' => t('author page'),
'callback' => 'author_view_page',
'access' => user_access('access content'),
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK);

I was trying to install the location.module, after doing as instructed in the install file wanted to activate it. Went to the control panel > administer > modules ...and everything is gone, I mean al installed modules have desapeared....

I'm running drupal 4.6 and php 5.0.3. Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong and how can I fix the damage.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks

I am in the middle of writing a module for displaying Real Estate property listings for Drupal. The scheduled release date for this is November 15, which, not coincedentally, is the launch date for a client's site that will be using the module.
