Module development and code questions

Hi ;-)

i have installed the amazontools module and it is running fine. Now i adjusted the language to DE for German and my Associate ID but if i generate an amazon node or item the url is going to amazon.com, not to amazon.de and the price is in US$ not in Euro.

I have done this with difference ASINS for example: 3540436928 from this site: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3540436928

http://drupal.org/node/25659

On 6/21 Amazon has launched a new version of their ECS back end that Amazon Associate Tools interacts with. One of the changes involves the URL to the product detail page it reports...they are much longer than they previously were, to the point that a 255 character field isn't long enough anymore...they advise being ready for up to 1024 characters.

On a practical level, this means the product URL is truncated...and useless.

I'm writing code to display a client's database as pageable tables. I've been going through the API docs on drupaldocs.org, but haven't found good survey documents or sample code.

Can any of you recommend where I can find some? It isn't clear which theme_* function to call where, something that sample code could settle for me pretty quickly.

Thanks,
Rob

I didn't see something like
http://www.degraaf.nl/vacatures.asp
(dinamical select box) in Drupal. I think it is rather important feature, may be there are any existing modules that can do that? I think it should be flexinode.module feature, but not sure.

Has anyone tried to make it so that, using the wiki input filter, someone could rename a wiki page?

In other words, now [google | http://www.google.com] displays "google"; has anyone hacked the module so that [some other text | node] would display "some other text" and not "node"?

If so, what would/does that look like?

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in an instant messager module for their drupal site. I've developed one that lets you store IM screen names in your personal profile info and then display online status. Currently it's only setup to display AOL/AIM names but it could be modified to include icq, msn, etc. Here's a demo of it if anyone's interested:

The block is called "who's on IM". Logging in allows you to add your own custom buddy list too...
