Drupal Dojo

This is a newbie question, so please forgive me if it's obvious (my copy of Pro Drupal Development doesn't cover it):

I am writing my first module. It needs to use a table with zip-codes and regions and other attributes to work. My first inclination is to add this table to Drupal. But I was asked if I could create a new content type and import these records as content (unpublished). That way if any

I'm still coding in DreamWeaver (embarrassed). Have tried switching to other apps/methods, but always drift back to what I know and where I can stay productive. Is there documentation anywhere on how to move to a more professional workflow that covers integrating a real code editor (perhaps Eclipse) with Drush, CVS, SVN, Dig, etc? I can find snippets on each but can't get my head around linking the whole process together--at least not fast enough to also stay productive.

So we're this close to an alpha for the Media module (for d7). There are only a few outstanding critical alpha-blocking issues that need to be resolved. I'd hoped to have it today, but it looks like it'll probably be Monday.

Next week is the time for you to jump in if you're interested in developing for the project! It's been loads of fun, from the initial discussions and plans over a year ago with arthurf, dopry, drewish, Roger López, myself and others, to fantastic core Drupal 7 integration of stream wrappers by pwolanin and GSOC student jmstacey, to some powerhouse #d7ux magic by mverbaar and Jody Lynn, to the latest overhaul introducing Media fieldable entities (with an eye for core Drupal 8) and WYSIWYG integration by JacobSingh and dipen chaudhary, with some potential upcoming fine-tuning from jQuery guru dmitrig01.

If you're interested, join us in IRC at #drupal-media. After giving the module a spin (you'll need Drupal 7 Alpha 1, Media, Styles, and WYSIWYG + CKEditor, and optionally Media: Flickr and/or Media: YouTube), you should subscribe to the Issue queue. (You can also see recent screenshots at AaronWinborn.com.)

Pretty straight forward... We have two API's that need to be connected/configured. USPS module and a Third-party tax rate calculator (PHP).

PHP skills key.

Time-sensitive.

I was looking into best practices for migrating databases from development to production and ran across this: https://drupal.org/node/205366

If you haven't looked recently, there's been some huge progress recently for Drupal's Media module. Jacob Singh from Acquia has jumped on board, paving the way for fieldable entities! This allows Media asset objects to be a first class Drupal citizen, alongside Nodes, Users, Taxonomy, and Comments. (Hopefully in core for Drupal 8!) Also, Dipen Chaudhary has been hard at work providing WYSIWYG support!

Hi everyone,

I have code popping up like this in a few of my modules ... basically I go through and check all of the hardcoded profile and CCK fields I use actually exist.

It seems like there could be a better way to do it, any ideas?

<?php
function example_requirements($phase) {
$requirements = array();

if ($phase === 'runtime') {

// Check for the profile category
$categories      = profile_categories();
$category_exists = FALSE;
foreach ($categories as $category) {
  if ($category['name'] === EXAMPLE_PROFILE_AFFILIATE_CATEGORY) {
