CCK

Hello all,

I am having an issue right now (Drupal 5.9, CCK 5.x-1.7, cck_map 5.x-3.3, views 5.x-1.6) where I have a view that returns full nodes that contain a Google Map. This works fine and great.
However, the issue is that only the Google Map in the first displayed node is rendered properly, the others do not render and I have an error in my FF3 logs:
Error: a is null Source File: http://maps.google.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/122b/maps2.api/main.js Line: 312

Has anyone else ever seen this issue and if so how did you work around it?

Cheers,
E/.

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?

What is the plan for Quiz 2 for Drupal 5?

At the moment I am experimenting with Quiz as a system for assessment in the online course I am developing. Assuming I choose quiz over webform or CCK then I will be happy to bug-fix and add functionality which can be contributed into the project. Because of the current state of contributed modules in D6 I think it is better that I stick with D5 for the first rollout of this service allthough I may be convinced otherwise.

Jag är glad och stolt över att presentera min senaste screencast: Vaddå CCK?
Det är en introduktion till modulen Content Construction Kit, och riktar sig till dem som hört CCK nämnas men aldrig testat den själv.

Videon är uppdelad på två klipp på Youtube. Det första visar hur man installerar modulen och skapar nya fält till befintliga noder, och det andra visar ett exempel på hur man skapar nya innehållstyper. En nyare screencast finns att beskåda på Blip.tv. Den visar det uppdaterade gränssnittet i CCK, men är mindre putsad än den ursprungliga screencasten.

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.

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out the best way to use the Views (v1.x) API to create a custom sort function for a CCK type.

Here's what I have:

CCK fields:

• title (string)
• rating_a (int)
• rating_b (int)
• rating_c (int)
• rating_d (int)

I need to develop a way to sort the view by the average of a variable number of the "rating" CCK fields.

For example, if the user wants to sort the nodes only by "rating_a" and "rating_c", then the "order by" clause would look something like this:

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!“.

The Florida Drupal User's Group met this past Saturday - about 17 people were in attendance. The group broke down as follows:

• new to Drupal: 6
• less than 1 year: 7
• more than one year: 4

Do you know of a module that would/could tie a user profile to a CCK created content-type?
Here's our problem: we are moving away from CiviCRM (don't get me started with the issues). Can we tie a particular content-type (or multiple content-types) through the use something like the Subforms modules to user profiles? Can we then let user creation spawn two records-- a user record; and a new node coupled to the user record? Then the content node could be used in isolation; or the user account could be edited later and those changes would alter the associated node?
