Module development and code questions

Wondering if anyone has seen this, its getting late at night so I could just be doing something really stupid.

Attempted this evening to install the epublish module according to the installation directions with the module, have both the 4.6.0 version as well as the CVS version.

For some CRAZY reason, once I copy the epublish directory with its files to the modules directory, I completely lose the ability to see the admin/modules page to turn modules on or off. I get NOTHING, browser loads it, says it is done, and nothing is there.

Any idea's?

I tried the Weblink Module today and had some ideas to improve it.
I'm new to Drupal and don't know if it is the "right Drual Way" to integrate my Ideas into the Core Weblinks Module. So i want do discuss my Ideas in the Forums before i post a feature request in the Bugtracker.

Hello,

I would like to populate a profile list selection field from a query result versus a double quote comma delimited list. I am prepared to make this patch myself, but am wondering if someone has already created it. I checked the site without success.

The idea would be to include an additional input on the "Add new list selection" page to specify a query. For example:
$query = "SELECT users.* FROM users";
$result = db_query($query);

Hello,

I'm trying to install new modules and themes, but after putting them each in its respective folder and unzipping them( and in install instructions nothing is required besides putting in correct folder) , but I can't seem to be able to see any of them either in modules or themes ,,

I thought i only had this problem with themes, then faced it with modules, so what do you think ?

:)

Im about to make some kind of a archive with funny files, it could be sound files, movieclips, pictures or flash. Should i make a nodetype for all of these and then index them with taxonomy OR should i make a node type each for these?

maybe doesnt make big difference but pros and cons are welcome :)

I am trying to figure out how moderate new node creation. Essentially allow for new content to be uploaded but require that it sit in a queue until it has been reviewed by someone from a moderator group.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
