Module development and code questions

In the module that I'm developing, I have two select forms side by side. In between these forms are buttons which are used to move items in the second list.

I tried to base this off the admin page for the HTML AREA module (/admin/system/modules/htmlarea), but I was unsuccessful in hacking the code for my module. I then turned to the internet where I found this little example. I think that this example would have worked. But I'm running into syntax errors. The onclick commands don't like the drupal generated names for the select forms. Drupal kicks out form names like:

name="edit[node_list_options][]"

These names don't play nice with onclick javascript actions that are passing the form information. Example:

document.form.edit[node_list_options][].selectedIndex

To get around this, I tried to manipulate the select forms via Javascript by passing the id. Drupal does generate clean id names. I did this with:

document.getElementById("node_list_options").selectedIndex

This didn't seem to work either. Does anyone know of a good way to incorporate javascript into modules? I need to have two select boxes side by side, along with an add, remove, up, down and submit button. The first select box will pull a list of available nodes, the second will pull a list of assigned nodes.

Hello,
I'm a bit lost searching forums, downloads and CVS for a module that could help me create a catalog of objects that are not to be sold, just info. I only need to have 1 picture, a category, a title and a description.

What i don't want is an ecommerce shopping cart. I've heard about people using a modified image gallery for this but i don't want to show the objects (products) with the rest of the pictures from my existing gallery.

I have a site I'm working on that requires admin approval for all new users. Unfortunately just having the username and e-mail fields during registration are not enough. I also need to require the full (real) name.

The Real Name field I'd like to be inputed into the profile data.

Digging through the user.module, I was able to get the text box and everything for the Real Name, but after that I'm not sure what to do.

Any help/code examples would be much appreciated.

Thank You!

Hi,

I just developed a simple module and would like to contribute it to the Drupal community. I'm kinda new in this so could you give me some guides on how to upload my module?

I've just created a project but I get a "You are not authorized to access this page" after I submit it.

I never used CVS before and looked for some guidance in the documentation but haven't figured it out...

I really like Drupal and look forward to contribute more to this great project!

Thanks!

Hi all,
I would need to send HTML mail using Drupal.
Has anyone already faced this need ?? Can you help me with a working sample ?
thanks to all !

1. It is hard enough to access deep menu items.

For example to access "administer->account->access rules->name rules" menu item i need to load 3 pages. This is a too slow. So i was integrated javascript menu into my drupal installation, so now i can access "name rules" in 1 click! It works fine and i'm happy.

But i do this in very bad way, i just hack "menu.inc" file becouse i have no idea how to make drupal modules. If any one who can easy create modules interested in this menu then tell me. I will send you all required files and my hacked menu.inc file. I think such module will usefull.



2. Why not to place "administer->content" and "create content" to some menu item?

I think:

content->create
       ->edit

more intuitive and comfortable than:

create content
administer->content
