How would I go about changing and/or adding user account fields? For example, if I want to keep track of users' favorite kind of ice cream?

Is this something I could do through a theme, along with changing the mysql database, or is something else required?

I found this post and I would like to do this to my site, but in marvin.theme I don't see the code listed in that post.

I'm using marvin as a theme and drupal 4.2.0

I just want to make the node titles links and get rid of the "read more" and "visit" links.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I just got CVS access, and I am having troubles adding my contributions to the contributed modules repository. I'm not sure exacly what I am doing wrong, as I have followed the instructions to a "t". Does anyone have a step-by-step? Maybe I just missed some goofy little thing... the command that I am using at the moment is:

I see a lot of people, including myself, are constantly asking for permissions for this and permissions for that. What do you say to a module level permissions standard?

I need a news module that;
- will show the thumbnail of agraphic and the news' summary in the homepage of my drupal site,
- will have a fixed number of category support (i.e. news, announcements etc.),
- will show the full size graphic and the full text of the news when clicked on the "Read more..." link.
Is there a module that fits my needs written for drupal.
Thank you all.
