CCK

The CCK Flashcard module is "A CCK field that offers textfields or textareas for "Front" and "Back" (like the sides of a flashcard). Upon display the front and back can be toggled. Useful for testing your memory on things." It needs a new maintainer. Please contact me if you are interested.

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place, but here goes.

I created a very simple CCK based node which is use to add web sites links to a database. there is the "name", the actual "web address", and "body" describing the link and site.

I want to make sure I can validate the "website address" field as a real website (ie www.example.com) instead of someone putting garbage in there.

I just thought I'd post a notice here that we're going to have a program downstate on the changes coming in CCK in Drupal 6.x. It will be in Normal on Thursday, November 29 (see http://groups.drupal.org/node/7103). It's a bit of a drive for an evening meeting, but it looks like we may have at least one person coming from Chicago now, and I know this is a topic many people are interested in, so I thought I'd mention it in the Chicago group.

The stormy land where CCK meets taxonomy is looking more promising all the time.

Adding to CCK Taxonomy and Content Taxonomy there's a couple more that are even more exciting to me, because I think they emphasize using taxonomy to store their data and relationships.

http://wimleers.com/blog/new-module-hierarchical-select - very slick.

http://drupal.org/project/cck_taxonomy_ssu - allows multiple select.

I've been thinking about some modules recently and about how to get the data they need. Looking at a general trend of "monolithic module" -> "individual CCK fields + helper modules + glue code" I'm curious how those "helper modules" can get the metadata they need to know how to interact with the CCK fields.

More specifically, we have the image module and then lots of helper modules image publisher which know how to interact the the image module because it's node type and data structures are set in stone.

hello.

while playing with cck (drupal 5.2 , cck 5.x-1.5) i realised that there's no way to configure a custom field
to hold unique values. one has to do it programmatically (i could be wrong.. since i've not searched a lot
on the sites). i found this relevant article http://drupal.org/node/100586 (and this one - http://drupal.org/node/89599)

will this feature of having a "unique" property of a custom field be implemented in future releases of cck ?

thx

We have set up some bounties to help finance the development of OpenPackage Video. Each feature has an amount that must be raised before it will be implemented. We use the ChipIn system to manage donations. If you would like to contribute to the development of one of the features you can donate through its ChipIn widget.

I finally was able to confirm I can get to Barcelona, so I set up a workshop/brainstorming session called 'CCK for 6.x and Beyond' at http://barcelona2007.drupalcon.org/node/619. Be sure to sign up if you're interested in helping shape the direction of CCK in the future :)

The 6.x port will make some significant changes to the widget API, so it would be good for CCK module authors to take a look at the changes and let us know if they need to propose any adjustments. I have been trying to look at some of the most widely used CCK widgets to see how they will be affected and am pretty sure that the new methods will be flexible enough to handle their needs, but it would be good to have other eyes looking at this, so here is a summary of what is changing:

hello,

This summer, I'm working with a development team on a Website built with Drupal. My project is about the integration of Web Service such as Amazon, Yahoo...

The Website mainly aims at allowing users to create rich comments on books, musics, movies...
Our forms are built with CCK. At first, we have used the Image field Module. This module allows users to upload image from their computers. With that, we can display on every comment, a picture, and this picture is also being used in views and gallery.
