Proposal for a module: TAC fields

I'm considering developing a module to extend the functionality of TAC to role/field combinations. TAC works wonderfully for controlling access to whole nodes based on their taxonomy, but it's all-or-nothing; the module currently has no way of leveraging the per-field access control offered by Content Permissions.

I don't think the functionality belongs in TAC itself, as my proposed module is an additional layer of complexity that's specific to CCK content types.

Stuck getting a byline nodereference field to display 2 fields (title (the author's name) and contact field)

For an online magazine with several different article content types, rather than having editors type in byline info in field_byline for each article, I'd like the byline to be drawn from a related "content type," People. So, I'm obviously setting field_byline up as a nodereference field that draws from content type People. This will make it easy to select the writer of the article from a pull-down list (or an autocomplete field), easily keep links to author contact info updated universally across the site, etc.

Content Subtypes module proposal (discussion)

Following text was moved from wiki page to discuss it. Use that wiki to form up a feature list and for task planning.

Inspired by Taxonomy fields module.

Often it's hard to make an “universal” set of fields to describe some real-world object with single content type. Many fields in many cases will be empty or filled in by default. The alternative is to make a lot of “pre-defined” types, but there are no useful tools to organize them and associate with a custom logic.

User to User: send field data

Hi,

I am looking for a way to allow a user (who I'll call "User1") to send field data from within their profile to User2 (User2 is defined by User1).

By "send" I mean to make this information accessible to User2 and to give User2 some kind of alert or new display when they login that the information has been made accessible.

Is this possible using existing Drupal modules? And if so, which ones? I am still fairly new to the Profiles as Nodes modules, so please bear with me. Any support is greatly appreciated. I am using Drupal 6. Thanks!

Problem för Drupal att komma ihåg innehåll i fields/decimal?

Hej,
min första fråga här lyder:

Har en problem med en nod som är skapad, där man har valt 1 val (B) i en lista mellan 2 val (A och B).

Problemet är att inte Drupal kommer ihåg vilket som är valt tidigare vid uppdatering.
Då står det alltid på default value som i detta fall är första valet. (A)

Under "default value" finns möjlighet för PHP, men jag är ingen mästare där direkt.

Så hur gör man alltså för att Drupal ska komma ihåg vilket val man har gjort tidigare, när man ska uppdatera?

CCK field value synchronization

Hi,

I've been working on a very small module the last two days which has this specific functionality right now:

  • If translation is enabled, an aditional fieldset becomes available on the content type edit form
  • The fieldset lists all existing fields of a content type (title, body and all other cck fields)
  • You can select which fields should be synchronized when a node is updated

Updating Fields with Composite Data

I have a custom module I inherited that implements its own CCK widgets to import videos, and the widget stores multiple columns in the database, but to the user, it all seems like one field.

I recently decided we needed to add a column to refer to the thumbnail, so I edited my 'database columns' operation in the hook_field_settings() function, and added a line in the hook_field() function, along with the logic I needed to fetch, display and validate the data.

Module idea

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?

Fields considered critical

I am trying to weed out the many broken or duplicate flexinode fields.

The first differentation I want to make is between critical and non-critical fields. With a new release (4.7 and 5.0) the critical fields should all be released and working. Non-critical fields can be updated later.

I want to know what you consider critical fields, my personal list is included below.

  • textfield
  • textarea
  • datefield/timestamp
  • number
  • image
  • general file
  • selectlist
  • checkbox
  • url
  • email
  • multiselect

Please leave your list in a comment.
