Content Construction Kit (CCK)

· · ·
JonBob - February 7, 2006 - 23:35

The Content Construction Kit allows you create and customize fields using a web browser. The 4.7x version of CCK creates custom content types and allows you to add custom fields to them. In Drupal 5.x custom content types can be created in core, and CCK allows you to add custom fields to any content type.

Note on CCK D6 Update Status

The update for CCK that will work in Drupal version 6 is currently in HEAD. We will be creating a preliminary, development version for D6 soon, but no final release will be issued until the D6 version of Views is released and we can incorporate the Views changes into CCK's Views integration. The current code works fairly well for clean installations, but there are still some known problems with updates that are being investigated.

Views 2 code is ALPHA quality and is literally changing every day and we are keeping up with the changes in CCK. The alpha 3 version of Views will NOT work with CCK any more, you need the latest development version. And you will need to keep getting the latest development version of both CCK and Views at least until there is a beta release of the Views 2 code.

If you're interested in the status of the changes in CCK for D6, you can read CCK 6.x and Beyond. The issue where we will post when CCK D6 is ready is the Port to 6.x issue.

-------------------------------

Be sure to visit update.php after upgrading to a newer version.

Views compatibility :
- CCK is now designed to work with Views 1.6 (or above).
- Due to some API changes in latest Views release, CCK-1.4 triggers error messages when used with Views 1.6 (http://drupal.org/node/134812). Please upgrade to a more recent CCK release if using Views 1.6.
In short :
CCK 1.4 <--> Views 1.5
CCK 1.5+ <--> Views 1.6

-------------------------------

Several contributed projects provide additional field types and widgets for CCK:

  • computed field: lets you add a PHP-driven "computed field" to CCK node types
  • date: creates an ISO or unix timestamp date field
  • email: validated email field
  • image field: an image field
  • link: a URL field

Other modules related to CCK:

  • content template (contemplate): allows for control over the form and display of fields, including teaser and RSS feeds
  • views: provides many types of listings of content; CCK exposes its fields to the Views system.

The list of CCK modules continues to grow. View a complete list of CCK-related modules in the downloads section.
