[support] CCK Common Fields (date)

[Sharon Sbarsky]

The Date Module is *very* useful for this. You can set it up to define
its "granularity" (i.e. I use it for the same purpose and only define
year and month.) You have lots of control over the display and input
formats, and you can use the field for sorting or filtering.

 

I wish that I knew about this module from the start. :-)

 

The only problem is that since I specify that the display is "F Y" (i.e.
November 2007), if I don't enter a month, it'll show up as "January."
There may be a way to fix that, but it isn't high on my priority list
yet.

Can anyone tell me how to set up metadata fields with cck in the first
place?

 

I want to set a year and a month metadata field for a custom content
type called News article.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Sarah =)
