Can you please post the code to do such validations about other modules and field being exisiting already, so that I don have to re-invent the wheel.

Thanks..

This has worked for me as well, and I haven't had any issues.  Testing with install/uninstall is important as is considering that that CCK field name might already exist.

Hi,

I wanted to add an imagefield to a content type, using the function content_field_instance_create(). I wrote this piece of code.

$field['field_name'] = 'myfield'; 
$field['type_name'] = 'story'; 
$field['type'] = 'filefield'; 
$field['widget_type'] = 'imagefield_widget'; 
module_load_include('inc', 'content', 'includes/content.crud'); 
content_field_instance_create($field);

This works perfectly fine with me, and an imagefield gets added to the content type. are there any pitfalls in this i should take care of? or is there any better way to do such a thing?

Thanks,
