Module development and code questions

Hello,

i was wondering, how do I get all the vocabluaries associated with a module. I know that there is a function to get the terms and all that, but they require the node id. I'm working in the _page hook so I don't have a node id to work with. Basicly, given a module name, how do you get the vocabs associated with that node?

Thanx,
Thomas

Hi everybody,

Well, after fighting my way through writing my first few modules (simple enough after some basic concepts were understood) I have written a short tutorial on creating a simple block module. Hopefully I'll create more tutorials as time goes on, but for now, at least there's something for others so they don't start empty handed. :)

Hello,

I am making a module for a simple e-commerce solution (nothing fancy, just starting off as an inventory manager at first). My problem is that I want to be able to display certain items on the home-page (like a news story, only not...). I was wondering how do I control what goes on the main page? I already figured out how to make the part of the module to submit a new item, and edit a current one, but I can't figure out this one detail.

Hello
I'm willing to use Drupal, but I'll need to hack some modules so it works with my current authentication system (qmail/vmailmgr). The main things I need to change are:
-> When you register, an account on my other system must be created
-> When you login, the account must be checked on my other system

the instructions for installing the image module are pretty sketchy with regard with what to do with imagemagick. can anyone help?

i'm developing on mac os x 10.3, so with the unix FreeBSD core i've got full access there to install imagemagick. the trouble is, what do i do when i want to deploy a site on my ISPs servers... i won't have access to install imagemagick there, so what do i do about that?

please help.

Has anyone considered writing a module or modifying a theme to access the Waypoint.com API? With this, blog entries could show similar blog entries from other sites. I've visited a couple of Moveable Type based sites that use this, and I've found it to be a nice feature (here's an example: http://www.nonliteral.com/archives/2003/04/19/tivo_longevity.html

You can see after the blog entry the "Related Posts from Waypath" box.
