Got a few questions again for you all

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Hey everyone, so I'm making some serious headway on this page, and it's getting closer and closer to being largely complete with all the functionality that I want! Here are some of the issues I am currently facing and would appreciate some advice on.

  • Passing variables (arguments?) in the menu links? For example, I want to link to todays date in the event module for the week view. The working link is: /event/2008/10/12/week/all/17
  • How do I get a menu link to automatically place the month (10 above) and day (12 above)?

    Using views is most likely not an option since it dispalys events like SHIT. The whole CCK calendar thing has got to be one of the ugliest things i've seen no matter how much I styled it. Events displays far better in my opinion, especially for the way I want everything styled.

  • So I managed to get g-proximity to work and what not, but i'm not very stoked on it. When you move the map at all the results readjust based on where you've got the map centered, and the results are usually way out of wack. I would like these results to be fixed. Anyone have any ideas of how to go about this?
  • Also, anyone used a different feature for proximity search? The locations module supposedly has a search functionality built into it but I don't know anything about it.

  • PANELS! I got a lot out of the meeting we had last time, but how do I retain the entire nodes original title, and display it at the top as well? I'm currently not having much luck with this at all, and of course drupals search feature turns up more obscure issues than useful information
  • RSS Feeds. I'm not sure if this is easy or not, but here's what I plan on doing, and if any of you could help at all it would be extremely appreciated!
  • There's an RSS feed out there for the weather for three different reports. I want to get the information, and then based on the information received display an image. For example, here's a psuedo code idea of how I want to process the information received:

    Display date

    if rain > 0”
    If snow > “0”
    Display snow/rain image
    else
    Display Rain
    else if snow > “0”
    if snow > 6”
    display heavy snow
    else
    display light snow
    else if cloudcover >50%
    Display cloudy
    else
    Display sunny

    display ((high temp + low temp) /2)

    This may even be a custom module but uh... not certain? Anyways, anyone able to help out? Beer and feed is on me. If you're into snowboarding i can also hook up some snowboard product if you want!
