Drupal Module: Corresponding node references

Corresponding node references is a module I contributed to drupal.

What does it do:
It syncs the node reference between two node types which have a nodereference to each other, so double editing nodes is no more needed. If one node has a reference the other node receives also a reference to the saved node if it is referenced in that node.

New drupal module Trees

I created a new drupal module called trees.

What does it do?
The trees module is based on the book module. Like the book module the trees module allows users to structure nodes in a hierarchy or outline. The main difference is that the trees module supports adding one node to multiple trees which the the book module does not. The output is also different. The book module provides a navigation, the tree module does not. Instead it produces for each tree a set of blocks, being the parents of a node, the siblings and the children.

Solution in case db_last_insert fails on you because LAST_INSERT_ID() is giving 0

Problem: You want to know the next id for the nodes. According to drupal you should use db_last_insert('table', 'field'). It returned allways zero for me.

What is the solution to overcome this problem? use SHOW TABLE STATUS WHERE Name='node' in the returned object you 'll find the next value for the autoincrement.

Drupal drupal_get_form() First argument is expected to be a valid callback and your sure the form exists

This means drupal cannot find your callback to your form.
Possible causes:
1) Drupal cannot find your function because the php file containing the function is not loaded.
2) You made a typo :)
