Module development and code questions

We'd like to request a feature which could be used in place of, or in combination with
the auto-mailer of Drupal. When a user creates a new account, we would like Drupal to
print their password on the following page (as it currently does for user #1) and then
allow the user to immediately change their password on the following screen. Within
'administer site' it would be ideal to allow the admin to choose whether to email new
passwords, require admin verification, print passwords immediately during creation of

It would be nice if one could write two versions of each node (story/blog entry etc) when adding them. So that there would be two text field for the "body" of the story.
I think back-end had this feature...?

I didn't post this to the feature request area because I'm not sure if this feature already exists somewhere :)

I have updated my Drupal installation from 4.2.0 to 4.3.0 and read the documentation about updating modules for the prefixing. I downloaded the ones which have been updated already (Privatemsg) and has Smileys and weblink have yet to be updated I thought I would have a go. However I tried and broke both completely and can't see the problem. Are these affected by any other update or am I just crap and have to wait until they are updated by the authors in the next week or so. I am awful at SQL related stuff so am a bit lost.

Heyp.

Anyone had problems with that combination?
I get this error msg:
>warning: >rename(images/temp/tmpimg_31c9f58aa5c02d63abfa65bf94dd602e_th,images/thumbs/8_th.jpg): >No such file or directory in c:\serveri\easyphp1-7\www\modules\attached_file.module >on line 343.

Any ideas?

Hi folks,

I'm working on putting the efforts of Directi at http://www.ip-to-country.com/ into a proper drupal module; so far the intention is to store the country data in a session after first load (thus avoiding repetitive queries, as the ip-to-country queries are fairly expensive), and provide an object stored in a session providing the country's name, code, and a link to the country's flag to enable integration of the information in a theme.

All my modules are currently listed as CVS, how do I create a 4.3 branch of a module?

I'm using CVL as a GUI to control CVS on Mac OS X, and have tagged all my module files with DRUPAL-4-3-0, but it is not showing a 4.3 relese on the Project module pages.

Is there something more I need to do, or do the Project module take time to refresh with new branch releases?

The modules I need to update are "Legal" and "Navigation Table".
