Redirecting Users After Submitting a Form in Drupal 5
http://drupal.org/node/134000

Agaric's extensive testing laboratory has verified that addding a string in this form works, for node 20:

?destination=node%2F20

When done directly in the browser. The code %2F is an interpretation of the slash, "/".

The right way:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /Users/ben/workspace/repos/agaric/agaric-modules/place/5/place/taxonomy_location/taxonomy_location_admin.inc on line 1

renamed file and started a new one with Mac line endings instead of Unix:

evil_textwrangler-inserted-bad-characters-taxonomy_location_admin.inc

The new file worked. But very soon, a new problem:

Thanks to Moshe Weitzman at the latest Drupal Groups Boston meetup, Agaric was introduced, formally, to Drush. Although our paths had crossed in the crowds of modules before, this time it was love at first site.

Here's the first date.

Checked out Drush to the sites/all/modules directory. We expect this to be the last time we have to do this!

Here is the recipe for the successful fundraising auction for the nonprofit community-building Amazing Things Arts Center.

This is a Drupal 4.7 site. Note that Agaric doesn't currently recommend using category module for new sites.

Do not show the log message input box, "An explanation of the additions or updates being made to help other authors understand your motivations."

oh well... form_alter can do it.

Now implemented in Agaric Design Collective's form_tweak module (not released on drupal.org yet, as I'm not sure about the protocol of modules you have to edit source code to use)

for setting the weight of any module, as the Drupal saying goes, there's a module for that:

http://drupal.org/project/moduleweight

You can also edit the weight in the {system} table directly (and see what other modules have been set to, sorting by the weight column in phpMyAdmin).

But what about a way to set the weight of your module inside your module with code? Of course there is:

This is a test.
