Content Construction Kit (CCK)

What is it?

This module provides two ways of referencing relevant content. Both of these methods provide configuration to filter for specific content types and vocabularies, limit the maximum size of the result and provide some header text. The result on both cases are a list of nodes which the module considers most relevant based on the categorization of the current page. This is achieved by finding other nodes which are of one of the allowed types and have the most number of terms in common. The two methods are:

Blocks

This module will provide as many customisable blocks as a site administrator wants. Each block has its own settings for node type, vocabulary, maximum result size and otional header text. Blocks can appear on any page which causes terms to be loaded into Relevant Content. Usually this is any page which views a node (a node page or a view such as a taxonomy term list). Usually you only want a block to appear on a node page, however you may find situation where you want to place a block on a non-node page.

CCK (new)

The new CCK Field Type (available in both 1.3 releases for Drupal 5 & 6). This is a read-only field (much like Node Referrer) which allows the administrator to embed a field that is "display only" (ie, nothing appears on individual node edit forms). This field is configured in the same way the blocks are configured; node type & vocabulary filtering, maximum result size limit and header text. The advantage of the CCK method is the result set is more "embedded" within the content.

This module is looking for a new maintainer.

Note that in Drupal 6 this functionality is (better) done by Views2 itself (read more).

This module allows views to query the nodes referenced by a certain node reference field.
You can use it to filter results from a node reference, and show referenced nodes with pager.

CCK Extras is intended to demonstrate a variety of "novelty formatters" and "novelty widgets" for editing and displaying assorted CCK fields. While the code for these widgets and formatters works, they're intended more as demonstrations and starting points than production code. Extras include:

Search and Replace Scanner can do plain text search-and-replace, or regular expression search-and-replace, against the title, body and text content fields on all nodes in your system. This is useful for finding html strings that Drupal's normal search will ignore. The module is very handy if you are fixing typos in a lot of content, changing the name of your company, or are changing the URL of a link included multiple times in multiple nodes, among other things.

Looking for co-maintainer. See message in issue queue.

Update September 17th 2008:

The newest version of the alpha is now up and available... LOTS of improvements here. This new version will now work with multiple imagefields on a single node type. Also included is Node Reference support. I've been promising this for a while, and I finally get to move it to "Current Development". There were a couple hickups with CVS uploading this stuff and getting it working properly, but it's just some niceties on the Administrative interface, all the functionality should be working great.

This module is still under heavy development, use at your own risk.
Why write something that's a "do it all" instead of integrating few popular modules all in together to bring you both functionality and customization?

This module conflicts with image module.

The following modules are required:

This module provides a CCK field for Latitude/Longitude. It stores the values in a fairly naive/simple manner as mere decimal numbers. It provides basic views integration to show the values as numbers. A more full featured solution is the CCK Geographical Well Known Text field provided by the Geo Module.

This module is no longer maintained

Ever wanted to create nodes on the fly? This module provides functionality to do this.

With this module you can write code like this to produce a node.

// my_nodetype must be an existing nodetype
$edit = node_factory_create_node( 'my_nodetype');

node_factory_set_value( $edit, 'title', 'my value');
node_factory_set_value( $edit, 'field_node_ref', 123);
node_factory_set_value( $edit 'uid', 321);
node_factory_save_node( $edit);

Provides a field that can be used to indicate which other groups membership should be "promoted" to be a member of this group. Works similarly to og_promote, except for groups.

One word of warning, if you were to change the list of promoted groups, then the members of the old groups would remain..

There's an up-date all button in the admin section, it promotes everybody who is entitled to be promoted.
