Content Construction Kit (CCK)

Hello,

I am very new to drupal and especially cck, sorry if my post isn't in the right place or the right kind (wanted to make a post but only found story).

I did install the module and created fields without problems. The big issue I have is that I can't see my fields on the website page properly, in edit mode for example, I can see a select list that I created but when I logout, the same select list isn't a list anymore, just a string.

I'm creating a website for a magazine, who are going to publish some of their archive of content.

We're currently importing / entering much of it into drupal. However, we aren't publishing it right away.

What we're going to do is publish the content over time. However, this poses a bit of an issue, as in taxonomy lists the content won't be sorted by date published. Using Views, I could sort by date edited, but I don't want to push something to the top of lists for a simple typo correction.

Any ideas?

Robert Douglass announced a new release of the CCK Taxonomy Fields module. The module allows sets of terms to be used as custom fields on content types.

This release fixes Views integration and guarantees that hierarchical taxonomy lists are represented correctly wherever they appear.

Douglass would like help with sorting views by CCK taxonomy and free tagging support.

My idea started out being simple, I wanted a view in which some (but not all) of the fields were editable.

An increasingly large can of worms has opened up... see the post here:

I'd really appreciate feedback... I would like to know that what I'm doing will be useful, so please comment!

This is now working, and a patch is attached. It is a patch against the DRUPAL-5 release of both cck and views, and is attached here.

There are two "issues" to track the CCK and Views part of this work:

http://drupal.org/node/156443 (for the views issues)

Inspired by Taxonomy Fields module.

The most amazing thing of Taxonomy Fields is that "content types are not limited to the same range of fields anymore". If it's so why not to go further?

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 will shortly be creating a 'handshake' module. The idea is that all user data (except username and possibly one or two other items as determined by the site admin) is hidden from all other users. Only the user whose data it is and the site's authorized user administrators can view it. Users will be able to initiate a 'handshake' where the first user indicates (probably via checkbox) which data fields s/he is willing to expose. The second user gets a list of data field titles that are checked (only those checked by user one show up).

Just a quick pointer to the jQuery Interface Sortable module that we added last week. In 5.x, it depends on the excellent jQuery Update and jQuery Interface modules. In 6.x (or HEAD -- I'm still trying to figure out how I got that 6.x release node in there), it only requires jQuery Interface.
