CCK

http://www.PLAY7.com

This is my first-ever drupal site. I started by trying to duplicate an ASB VBScript site that a long-lost developer did for me. When the old site's database corrupted a few weeks ago, it naturally accelerated my development of the drupal site. I pulled everything together and posted the beta as quickly as I could.

Looking for advice on when to use:

• http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_fields
• http://drupal.org/project/cck_taxonomy
• http://drupal.org/project/content_taxonomy

They all seem confusingly similar.

op_video-5.x-2.1 is now available from http://openpackage.biz/.

The main highlight of this release is that it is now backward compatible with mysql 3.23 and php 4.3.3 in line with drupal 5 core and also now works with db table prefixes. If you have had problems before, please give this release a try.

Other changes:
'max duration' transcoding parameter
JW FLV Player must be downloaded separately and decompressed in the op_video directory
other random bug fixes

I have created a 'new content type' using cck and have given an authenticated user permission to create new content (fill out a form) using this new content type. So far so good. Say that each user creates 1 or 2 instances of this new content type, how do I allow them to go back and edit only the ones that they created? I am just getting used to the terminology and I hope my question makes sense.
Any ideas?

I just announced that the Embedded Media Field now supports custom media url's, but I forgot to mention that the idea for that support came from the meet-up last week, specifically in a conversation with jkopel & Jen Simmons. At least one other (whose username I can't find here), and probably others; sorry if I forgot to mention you. I met a lot of cool new people here.

The Embedded Media Field module now supports custom URL's, in addition to the third party providers currently supported, such as YouTube, Blip.TV, Revver, etc. This allows external videos hosted on another site, or in the local server's file directory, to be embedded in the field. It works in the same way, so that an editor simply pastes the link they wish embedded into the field's textfield, and the module will parse the URL and display it appropriately.

op_video-5.x-2.0.tar.gz is now available from OpenPackage.biz.

Highlights of this release are:

Local FFmpeg transcoding

For videos to be viewed in-browser, they must be transcoded to FLV format. In addition to the existing method of transfering videos to OpenPackage.biz for transcoding, videos can now be transcoded using a local installation of FFmpeg.

I just wanted to point out a very important change to content_copy.module that makes it much more fasible to create CCK field programatically as part of an install profile. As of last week, the DRUPAL-5 CVS version of content_copy.module no longer ends content_copy_import_form_submit() with a drupal_goto().

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?

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:
