[support] CCK Common Fields (date)

[Sarah.Vardy at student.griffith.edu.au]

hey sharon

thanks for the tip.

just wondering, do you know how to get just the results of one content type using a view? ie I just want to view the current 'article' postings for the current month not all the nodes that have been posted in the month.

any help would be grand =)

sarah
