External Quotation Module for Drupal Ecommerce Package

I'm going to do this, comments are welcome. I also have a quotation module proposal on its way.

External Quotation Module for Drupal Ecommerce Package

Goal

- Ease the purchase for large organizations like a university;

Features/rules

- In the normal cart, a registered user can generate an external quote instead of a real purchase, and external quote terms are displayed;
- An external quote can be purchased without need for user registration; FIXME: any security problem? What does the law say?
- In the order status/tracking page, user can: enquiry external quote status, remove an external quote if not being purchased and not expired;
- External quote is kept in the order status/tracking page as the way a normal order does;
- External quote is valid for a limited time (as it holds the stock) either specified by the administrator or any shorter product/service expire date.
- The status of the external quote is emailed to its requester automatically, including a purchase reminder several days before expire;
- External quote is identified by a unique number which is separated enough or coded to proof typo and malicious probing;
- Requester information is filled out by default at the check out page

How
- A database table for the external quotes with the fields: external quote number, internal order number, expire date, status; FIXME: I guess there should be an order table from the ecommerce module for normal order information including the buyer information???

Form processing after submit in 4.7

ok, i've worked out much of the new forms api.. very nice compared to the brutish hacks i was going to implement... great. Now only one more frontier remains:

Suggestion for INSTALL.txt

Hello, guys

I suggest that you should add a note about the use of memory of drupal.

I recommend you mention that when using all modules, you should change your php.ini's memory_limit to 20M (or whatever it may be, this works for me) and that the usual usage should use xM in this variable.

I recommend somehting like:

Minimal requirement: xM
Recommended: 20M

That's it.

The thing is that I was asking myself for a lot of time... what happened... why did I get a blank screen. This was the cause.

HDI install Tinymce? please, the simple instructions

Seriously, this is one of the hardest things I've ever had to try and install... And I just cant get it to work. Instructions are different all around the place. On the tinymce there arent any particular instruction (that I could find) relating to drupal, and the what's available on drupal is too vague.

Obviously it's me because other people seem to have it up and running, but these are y problems:

1) instructions I have state:

1. Place the entire tinymce directory into your Drupal modules/   directory.

which (after extracting the latest version creates a directory structure like this:

/modules        ... the directory asked to copy the files to
   |
   + tinymce    ... first level directory of the extracted files
   |    |
   |    + docs
   |    |
   |    + examples
   |    |
   |    + jscripts
   |    |    |
   |    |    + tinymce
   |    |        |
   |    |        + langs
   |    |        |
   |    |        + plugins
   |    |        . 
   |    |        .
   |    + po     .

This directory structure seems very convoluted and unweildy... not to mention that when you try and use/administer it, it comes up with errors.

But then in install point 3:

3. Place the entire 'tinymce' engine folder inside your modules/tinymce directory. So the TinyMCE engine will live in modules/tinymce/tinymce

huh?
a) where is the tinymce 'engine'? and

How do I manage trimming on Blog page ?

I recently created a website with Drupal 4.7 and I am quite satisified with its features. I could do all I wanted for the moment and even tweaking turned to be easy. But the management of trimming is kind of hard to get ; I just want to set the blog page so that all the displayed blog entries are not trimmed.
Neither the administer > settings > content types not the administer > settings > posts sections seem to be the answer to my need (the first one has no setting related to trimming and the second one does not affect the blog page trimming). I sure can use a '

"Artificial node(id)" for callback function (with arguments)

Hi all,

I'm sorry if this is a very silly question, but I'm very new to Drupal.

I want to add some pages where I can just supply the content with a callback function with parameters for some menu entry and url. This works very nice, but the problem is that this is no node. So, things like printer friendly version and view as pdf won't be available.
It would also be nice if I could add events to these pages.

Would it be possible to just directly add a node to the nodes table, but what type should I use then, create one, the name of the callback function,....?
