It lets you custom-build a list of nodes according to a wide <BR>range of configurable parameters. <BR><BR>CCK: http://drupal.org/project/cck<BR><BR>Drupal 5+ includes the ability to create new "basic" node types through the <BR>admin. A basic node type has a title and a body (body is disableable.) CCK <BR>lets you add additional fields to any given node type. Those fields are <BR>provided by separate, dedicated modules. The CCK package includes several <BR>(textfield, number, nodereference, etc.), and there's a huge number of others <BR>available in contrib. <BR><BR>The usually best way
to map out the site is to first decide what your node <BR>types look like, conceptually. Then figure out the fields they need. Then <BR>set those up using CCK. Then determine what lists of nodes you'll want, and <BR>build those using Views. At least that's the usual method I use. :-)<BR><BR>On Wednesday 30 May 2007, Bruce Whealton wrote:<BR>> I've heard again about Views. What are Views? Is that<BR>> one specific contributed module?
