CCK (Content Construction Kit) and Taxonomy are key elements to a solid foundation on which to build a rocking Drupal site. Knowing when, how, and why to leverage them in a given situation is a crucial starting point for anyone building a site in Drupal.

Displaying multiple pages using one View page and one Panels 3 page.

Hi

I created a content type 'Island Profile' (to store different related types of island specific information for numerous islands) using CCK. I am using Views to query the database, to output the different types of corresponding 'Island Profile' specific information, into numerous view panes within a single view for each island. Finally I am using Panels 3 to layout the created view panes for the 'Island Profile' content type into a panel page.

I have a few questions;

Is there a CCK Time field

I need a time field without a date for a scheduling application. I would like to have the power of the CCK date module to handle formatting and presentation and all the internals, but I do not need year, month and day. I want to be able to sort on this time, for instance so that 12:30am comes before 1:00am, etc.

My first choice was to use a CCK date and set the input format to "g:ia"

Understanding the ApacheSolr CCK API

Robert Douglass's picture

UPDATE: If you're working with the DRUPAL-6--2 branch please see the updated code example below.

In this article I will show you how you can write a tiny bit of code that will reveal new fields and facets for searching with the ApacheSolr module and Acquia Search. Using Acquia Drupal we'll write an example module that takes the file type from CCK file and image fields and makes them into their own search fields. This results in us being able to filter our search results based on file type. This code fulfils the situation where you want, for example, to find a specific post that has a JPEG image, or all of the posts with PDFs that match a particular keyword.

Help with Views Calendar Module

Hello,

I've been trying to get the views calendar module working:

This is what I've done:
1). I installed Acquia Drupal and Wysiwyg API along with TinyMCE
2). Then I turned CCK and Views on along with the Date and Calendar modules.
3). Then I created a new content type, "School Event" with a datetime field, and a title and description field.

Removing fields added with autocomplete

I have a content type with node connections added via an autocomplete field. There is no limit on the number of connections that can be added.. the problem is once a connection is added, there doesn't seem to be a way to delete it other than by going into the database and manually removing it. Is there an easy fix for this?

When I click edit on the node, it only allows me to add more connections.. what would be ideal is if all the connections were there each time the node was edited.

1Pixel out for CCK solution?

What modules will allow a CCK field for uploading an mp3 that displays using the 1pixel out swf player for Acquia Drupal 6? It appears as though it might be a combination of FileField ( included with Acquia Drupal) and SWFTools. Is this right? The landscape has changed so much over the past year.

Trouble fixing date issue

Trying to resolve a major usability issue at BaltimoreUrbanAg dot Org

The lovely formatted datestamps are confusing: For events I want the datestamp to be replaced by display of the Date of the EVENT, not the date the event was posted.

I copied node.tpl.php to node-event.tpl.php. (see code below, plus a few line numbers.)

Line 1. As it was from TopNotchTheme (I added comment)
Line 2. Prints out the whole event date, as expected

lightbox2 cck imagefield & How to properly upgrade modules to dev?

Hi all,

First sorry for my english, I'm from Spain.

Following instructions at http://drupal.org/node/274714 on how to setup Lightbox2 to work with CCK Imagefield and Imagecache I found that doesn't work with D6 nor in my acquia-drupal-1.1.0-ISR.3593.tar test site.

As I pointed at http://drupal.org/node/274714#comment-1156554 a search on google gave me the answer: switch to dev.
So I tried and it worked.

Then, that make me think: What's the proper way to disable an Acquia bundled module and switch to dev?

What I did:
- Disabled lightbox2 module
