Drupal 4.7.x

i have problam to install of drupal 4.7.6,there is error of Unable to connect to database server

I am trying to block spam via .htaccess, since I am getting hammered. Even though akismet finds them all, it is getting compute intensive, so I was considering adding yet another level on the web server itself.
The basic idea is that legitimate spam (also called regular comments), will be coming from my site.
However the code below doesn't seem to work

I have a variety of projects that need attention and require developers with solid Drupal experience. I'll try and segregate each project and provide as many details as possible.

PROJECT

Build a simple administrative front-end for an existing module. The administrative module will facilitate CReate, Update, and Delete actions for simple data buckets: text, int(10), nid, etc. The DB schema has been defined but only the Update functionality is in place.

The administrative GUI is currently linear - listing collapsed fieldsets for each group of settings. This won't scale for the parent module so the developer will need to manipulate the GUI to accommodate a more flexible structure.

Instead of...

Widget Settings (admin/settings/widget)

> Widget A
> Widget B
V Widget C
  Field 1: ...
  Field 2: ...
  Field 3: ...
  
  [SUBMIT]

I'd like to see...

Widget Settings (admin/settings/widget)

Insert New -> Generic Form
----------

Widget A - Edit - Delete
Widget B - Edit - Delete
Widget C - Edit - Delete

With a drill-down to...

Widget Settings/Widget A (admin/settings/widget/A)
  Field 1: ...
  Field 2: ...
  Field 3: ...
  
  [SUBMIT]  [CANCEL]

BUDGET/TIMELINE

$120 USD. Earliest possible completion.

CAVEATS/DETAILS

I have a variety of projects that need attention and require developers with solid Drupal experience. I'll try and segregate each project and provide as many details as possible.

PROJECT

Build a simple administrative front-end for an existing module. The administrative module will facilitate CReate, Update, and Delete actions for simple data buckets: text, int(10), nid, etc. The DB schema has been defined and crude 'insert' functionality is already in place. The developer will finish buttoning up the Update and Delete functionality.

How to get an aggregate of latest guestbook entries
on the site guestbook page ?

For example, various users post gbook messages on various other users' gbook.
The site book automatically displays x number of those latest entries.

In the guestbook module ( for 4.7x ), where there is

// Insert new message
  if (_guestbook_access('post', $uid) == 'allowed') {
    if ($user->uid == 0) {
      // anonymous user
      $entryid = db_next_id('{guestbook}_id');
      $result = db_query("INSERT INTO {guestbook} (id, anonname, anonemail, anonwebsite, author, recipient, message, created)
        VALUES('%d', '%s', '%s', '%s', '%d', '%d', '%s', '%d')", $entryid, $edit['anonname'], $edit['anonemail'], $edit['anonwebsite'], $user->uid, $uid, $message, time()); 
    }
    else if ($user->uid > 0) {
      // registered user
      $entryid = db_next_id('{guestbook}_id');
      $result = db_query("INSERT INTO {guestbook} (id,author,recipient,message,created)
        VALUES('%d', '%d', '%d', '%s', '%d')", $entryid, $user->uid, $uid, $message, time()); 

If I add the following

// adding the following lines
$entryid = db_next_id('{guestbook}_id');

      $result = db_query("INSERT INTO {guestbook} (id,author,recipient,message,created)
        VALUES('%d', '%d', '0', '%s', '%d')", $entryid, $user->uid, $message, $message, time()); 

Hello,

I am running a site on Drupal v4.7.6, with Category module v4.7.x-1.0. I am trying to alter the category module so that when the category_forms_alter() function is called, it runs a custom function that checks the translated Container and Parent name. This works so far, but when I pass those variables back into the Forms API, I can not get the default value for the Container and Parent field on the translate node page to change.
