Attaching a CSS file via your module is so simple it's not really documented, that Agaric could find with these searches:

How to add CSS in Drupal 5

This example is from the book module:

    drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'book') .'/book.css');

So for your module "example_module," with "example_module_extra_style.css" in a folder css within your module directory, the code would look like this:

A visitor wrote:

Upload a file from home computer to remote server using SCP (through bash shell)

Ebony-697:~/Desktop/BrowserTemp ben$ scp -r module.tar.gz ben@server.example.org:/var/www/html/drupal-4.7.2/modules

IP address can also be used.

uploading to server

(Or: Cracking the case of the recalcitrant images directory)

The client came to me, late at night, distraught, and with numerous PNGs of the crime. He filled up my inbox with desperate messages, and the files attached at the bottom of this post:

• why???
• seriously! what the hell is going on here?? the site doesn't seem to be in touch with the server at all!?
• seriously why? disabled and reenabled the modules, deleted the images folder and remade it

  argh!

In Drupal 4.7, it seems the original creator of a custom block is the only one who can edit its content.

At least, the permissions options under block don't give access to the title and content– just the visibility settings.

Zen-based themes break rather badly (lose the navigation menu) in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.00 and, if you look up what's wrong, have the following inscrutable error:

"Object doesn't support this property or method"

I hope this patch fixes it and is in Drupal 5.2.

NOTE: These notes are in the process of being turned into a script that will work for shared-table multisite installations as well as regular Drupal sites.

mysql structure only certain tables

http://www.datanamic.com/support/mysqldump.html

mysqldump [OPTIONS] database [tables]
OR mysqldump [OPTIONS] --databases [OPTIONS] DB1 [DB2 DB3...]
OR mysqldump [OPTIONS] --all-databases [OPTIONS]

-no-data, -d

Do not write any table row information (that is, do not dump table contents). This is very useful if you want to dump only the CREATE TABLE statement for the table.

drupal shortening long usernames

If you wanted to override this, you could define a new function in

the template.php file of your theme. To do this, simply copy the of
the existing function from <http://api.drupal.org/api/5/function/
theme_username> and rename it to your-theme's-name_username. Then
depending on what you want to do, you could simply comment out the line

$name = drupal_substr($object->name, 0, 15) .'...';

or change the value (15) to something long enough to allow the user's

google apps drupal integration

What's out there:

Anyone interested in helping write a "Google Apps Integration Module"?

Google Apps for Education

Dan successfully did this with the mailhandler and mailsave modules.

He'll have to post how. Here's some utterly irrelevant and useless background:

Images with mailhandler... back in 2003!

I successfully implemented imagehandler.module for Drupal 4.0. Since mailhandler and image module has changed a lot since, you probably need retune the function. It currently supports only JPG.

function imagehandler_mailhandler($node, $stream, $msg_number, $mailbox) {
$image = mailhandler_get_part($stream, $msg_number, "IMAGE/JPEG");
