In a custom module for drupal 4.7 I hacked together a node object and passed it to node_save($node) to create nodes. This hack appears to no longer work in drupal 6. While I'm sure this hack could be fixed I'm curious if there is a standard solution to create nodes without a form. In this case the data is pulled in from a custom feed ...

I have a View with an exposed form . I am trying to a few things on it. Ideally I would like to have a dropdown that fires the form with no button. If that is not possible then I would like to have the button text something different than apply. I hacked it for now and change views_form in views.module but that does not seem like the ri...
I have a Drupal site with user logins. Embedded within this site is a Flash application that shows some data to everybody but allows extra functionality if the user is logged on. From within Flash, I'm using XMLRPC to access the system.check method (to determine whether the user is logged in) and the user.login method (to log in a user...
On my Drupal powered website, I want to list available downloads at the top of a node page (within a narrow float:right <div>), not at the bottom where they normally appear. Within my theme, I've overridden the theme_upload_attachments() function to generate a <div> of width 40%, but this is showing up at the bottom of the page. Within...
I have a Drupal module page where I am populating a form with a drop-down that contains a list of available parts of a set of files that the user can upload.
