Content Construction Kit (CCK)

Hello All: I'm really new to Drupal and using version 5.10 basically because of the level of modules available for this level. I'm in the process of creating a data collection web site and I have the content type created all the collection part works and I can see and search the data.

This afternoon TapocoL, cYu and I (Kaaskop @ IRC) discussed the possibilities of CCK, Validation API and Fapilicious to work together on form processing. Currently, CCK features built-in validation for specific fields, like addresses. Fapilicious is a library which (though still under development) features built-in field validation for any form field. Validation API mainly is a UI for creating custom validators and using them for CCK fields.

A few of the ideas:

I've got a first pass at creating a way in the CCK UI to make a custom collection of fields that will act together as a single complex field. An example of a way to use this would be to create an 'Address' combo group, comprised of several text fields that are labeled 'Street', 'City', and 'State'. You can set it to multiple values to have more than one address field collection in the node form. All the 'streets' will retain their relationship with the appropriate 'city' and 'state' by keeping the same delta values, and the related fields are grouped together in the form.

Hi! I've developed a CCK MAC address field module on the basis of CCK IP Address. Just wondering whether anyone has any interest in it, and if so, what do I do next?

I created a page that has a form using CCK. It contains:
1. Title
2. start-end date
3. drop-down menu
4. check box (allow one)
5. radial
6. body

Then I have a view setup. The Page should show all of the gathered information above But the numbers 3,4 and 5 above will not display.

If I use ROW STYLE = NODE (Instead of fields) the display looks desirable as far as style / formatting but does not allow me to choose / add the additional custom fields.

Question 1:
Anyone know how I can get these custom fields to display?

Question 2:

Hi,
I have a website Drupal 5 where an user can:
1) Create a node of type "Vehicle" (created with CCK)
2) Create a node of type "Track" (also created with CCK)
3) When the user creates a track he can link a vehicle to it, but the vehicle has to be his own, he cannot link just any vehicle.

CCK as a module has a lot of functionalites and this makes the UI difficult to grasp for new users even if developers made a lot to improve it. Since we’re going to put CCK fields in core maybe we need a cleaner interface .
So I did a mockup for a two steps content type creation form that not only try to make the UI simpler but even introduce new concepts and I hope opportunities. Please note that this is just a mockup I don’t have any working code and probably I wouldn’t be able to code anything. This would hopefully be just a start for a discussion.

Just wanted to point out this link : http://www.serena.com/mashups/sPR_06112008.html

Because I have seen a demo yersteday and I found some functionnalities very similar to what CCK, Panel and workflow can do.

You can watch the video and even dowload the tool for free to try to play with it.

Maybe it can give you some good ideas for the next versions of CCK Panel and workflow modules.

Hi there,

a lot of requests in drupal forums address the backlinking of nodes being referenced by node reference (which is part of CCK). This can be achieved by nodereferrer or with views and additional argument handling code (which is in my opinion much more flexible).

While nodereferrer is by design read only i'm looking for a smart solution which extends the list of referencing nodes with a button „Link it!“.
