field

This discussion will revolve around issues of Remote Field Revisions. This regards getting field population from single, multiple, and unknown sources. Sending data to other sites and how they can use, modify, and potentially change that data from source. Also regarding race state and origination of data sources and trusted sources for field revision.

I created a custom cck field that shows links to mapping sites. It can be used with content types that have a physical address. The widget is just a checkbox, that tells if mapping links should be shown or not for this particular node.

I am definitely doing something wrong because the value of this checkbox is not saved or loaded properly from the database.

I also asked for help on the main drupal forum:

The module is See Map:

I'm very much hoping this isn't a feature request for 4.8... I'll just explain my situation:

I'm making a fundraising auction site for a nonprofit arts center, and really all I want to do is add some attributes for the volunteers adding items to fill out in addition to the description, that is, have a field to enter the name of the person who donated the item, and another field for the estimated market value.

I thought it would be trivial to create my own product type based on the auction module and with an extra field or two, but it has not been!

I can see many reasons to add open-ended text fields in addition to one big block for "description" to products, so I hope someone has some experience or advice.
