Module development and code questions

deleted

I have tried updating the privatemsg module and also the gallery module to work with CVS version. I have also updated taxonomy_html as it had a few bugs left from the conversion done earlier in the week.

Is there a module out there, or one that could be easily modified, that would allow you to dump all the info from a DB into it and it would create multiple nodes? I have a DB full of stories that I want to separate into individual node entries, but I don't have an efficient way to do this. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help,
Ryan

Hi all,

I've made a module for writing reviews. Nothing brilliant, just added some fields to rate and add a link, thats all.

What I want is an ability to retreive info about the reviewed artist (i'm going to use it for music) from the 65+K artists listed at discogs.

So is anyone familiar with some class or script that gets me on the way? Has anyone ever seen a script or code that can extract info from discogs?

Please let me know! ber just delete qwerty from my address.

Can't seem to get the thumbnail to show up on the front page. The full image (which wrecks havoc with my layout) appears instead. I've searched through the forums, and found this thread:

image.module and teaser

The fix therein removes the picture from the frontpage, but does NOT show the thumbnail. So, does anyone have any idea how to make drupal display the thumbnail of picture nodes on the front page?
