Module development and code questions

Somebody created the filter for text processing by rules of typographics?

Could someone point me in the right direction on some samples/docs on inter-module communication? I'm working on a few modules that I want to support other modules to send data to process.

For example: I'm working on a personal page that lists all of your recent posts thats publically viewable and I want to support non-node based modules (ie: bookmark module) to be able to send data to the content page.

Sample

Is there a better way to accomplish this?

I'm about to add a relatively simple feature to a custom module I'm working on that creates another tab on the "view"/"edit" tab list which allows you to copy the fields of an existing node into the form fields of a new node. My current concern is mainly for flexinode nodes, but I would suspect that other node types would also be supported. The main goal is to speed up repetitive data entry tasks.

My question is this: should I make this as a separate module? Would anybody find this useful?

Is it possible to make Flexinode use GD or the standard image functions in PHP?

My host doesn't have Imagemagick, and I want it to create thumbnails.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Mr Maggoo

p.s. I'm using Drupal and flexinode 4.5.1

Hi.

I really like the autopath module, however I don't want to use it on all of my nodes just some. Is there a way to make it only create a path on say 'page' node types?

Thanks

Mr Maggoo

I'm using the image module on my site - it rocks.

However, I'd like to be able to upload a batch of images at once, does anyone know of a module that makes this possible?

(apologies if this should have gone in the general discussion forum - it seemed sufficiently module specific to get posted here)

Thanks,
