Module development and code questions

I am looking for mailhandler get mailhandler to handle attachments properly. I found some prototype code using google on drupal.Kollum.org in bruno's sandbox that looks like it should work. I was wondering how much of a prototype this code actually is, and what needs to be developed for it to work properly. I am interested in helping with the development of it.

does anyone know? Bruno?

weitzmann suggested that I file a feature request for this, but not sure how to go about doing that so am posting to this forum.

Explanation of the issue/question is here: http://drupal.org/node/view/6635

Maybe I am too tired but I just can't figure out how you are supposed to do this. I am trying to use the tablesort and pager together with data form a form to list some things.

In my test I have one form with two fields (name_first,name_last), this form is created with drupals form-function and therefore the fields are put in edit['_name_']. The test selects persons from db and lists them in a table, so far everything works as expected. I was rather impressed by how easy it was, but then I realized that it wasn't (or more likely I am doing something wrong).

I guess I dont understand permissions...I created a new block v4.4 module with the following code from permissions.

function onthisdate_perm() {
return array("access onthisdate", "administer onthisdate");
}

These new perms appear in the list of perms....but I would have assumed that since I defined these new perms, an anon user would not be able to see my module unless I checked the anon user column in the permission list for the access onthisdate module....but anon can see the block module even with this unchecked.

What don't I understand here?

I'm using Drupal to build a site, and one of the requirements is that it should be easy to link to other people’s profiles (I've added a whole bunch of fields to the profile module so you get a mini biography about the person and their role in the organisation).

Currently to link to a person you need user/view/ what I'd like to do is /user/view/.

What’s the easiest way to achieve this? URL Aliasing only seems to work on nodes.

TIA.

OK folks. For all of us who have had problems with image.module not creating thumbnails with ImageMagick on Windows. I have found the problem and it has nothing to do with the module itself.
The problem is twofold. 1) You must run ImageMagick from its installed directory without changing the name of the directory. It seems that when ImageMagick runs it expects it's config file to live in a prescribed place (c:\Progra~1\ImageMagick-5.5.7-Q8\cofic/etc..."). Maybe there's a setting in a file that could be changed but I can't find it.
