I need to create a new content type with about 20 fields. Should I use CCK or a .install file?
Most prefer cck fields because of the built in third party support for things like views fields, etc. But the overhead of the abstraction should be considered if the transactions speed is the utmost concern. In many cases though id rather go CCK + validation modules over custom because hardware is cheap and code is expensive to maintain and update. The programmatic creation of content types and fields is an area i would like to explore and develop personally. I would like to create "meta modules that provide these validation functions and automatically create required content types and fields for proper operation and deployment with minimal user interaction. Others working in these areas? Or existing functionality i dont know about? SoC, etc? -- Michael Favia michael@favias.org tel. 512.585.5650 http://michael.favias.org
