Content Construction Kit (CCK)

Six months ago, Dries linked to this DabbleDB demo from his blog. He hailed it as a vision for what CCK and Views could ultimately be. The demo is positively breathtaking in the flexibility of fields to morph and change. Further, the usability of the UI is outstanding. Everyone in these group really ought to watch the demo, and discuss what small changes we can make to get closer to this.

Some starting points:

• Can we design a flow whereby node_import module could suggest and then create the needed CCK fields to hold the incoming data?
• Can we add a metric ton of flexibility to CCK whereby we can take a field and move it into a new content type (i.e. the demo moves Person into a 1st class object) and move fields (and data) between content types (in the demo, the Company field moves over the new Person 'content type').
• Could we get a View created automatically for each content type that has the right exposed filters automatically? And then a UI which progressively shows those exposed filters in the 'query by example' method in the demo?
• The demo has a notion of saving ad hoc queries. Our equivalent is Views Saved Searches. Should this be a core feature of Views, or otherwise better integrated?

regards drupal 5 I not know if with cck for to have a field image where one can insert
more images and also have a thumb below the principal image (see attached)
is necessary to change the core or if with drupal 6 this is possible (but how).

not know why I cannot see my file attached (I not have permission?)

I got the hang of cck which is really cool by the way. I have 3 questions that pop up:
1. how to i create a multi-part form ???
2. how do i do a back button to go to the previous page and have it remember the info i added?
3. how do i can i create a dropdown of fields/nodes i created before with dropdowns and use that info in a new version of the form???

has anyone seen a good online video tutorial that i can tap into..that guy rob from the awakened voice learning center is the best with his online stuff..

thanks

I'm interested in being able to set up a pledging system, that can enable donation bounties as a content type, and allows people to first pledge, then be billed if pledges reach a capped amount, or have no one billed of pledges do not reach an amount.

Is it already possible to do this with existing modules (like e-commerce and cck)? If not, I am committed to producing this capability, and would feedback from this group on suggestions about how to approach from a module creation standpoint

I saw this great piece from John VanDyk : http://www.sysarchitects.com/node/64

We've been having problems with our staff and their connectivity to the server. That is a separate track of what we are running down. But this got me thinking: could I write a desktop application?

I have a promoter who has a few shows he promotes annually.

each show has 3-4 venues and each venue different price

how do I sell tickets for such a setup>

thank you

Wondering if this has been built yet, or if I should start from scratch.

I'm looking for a CCK text field that takes a "nice" value for location such as "Montreal, QC" and converts it in the back-end to "45.518376,-73.56308" so that it can be displayed in a Google Map, or searched via proximity or etc. I've attached a mock-up so you know what I mean. Ignore the form_alter stuff at the top; this was when I was thinking it was going to be its own form element but Eaton advised me to go with CCK field instead (user form would be possible w/ something like Bio module).
