After reading Eaton's well-written article http://www.lullabot.com/articles/great-pretender-making-your-data-act-field, I tried this in a module I work on. The fields are definitely showing on "Manage fields" in CCK.
However, those added fields do not seem to be available to Views. One of the reasons why I am really interested in making this change is so that something like Node Export can see these fields automatically. What more needs to be done to the suggested code to have CCK reflect these fields to other modules?
All that hook_content_extra_fields() really does is tell CCK about other node data so that they can be reweighted using the UI. Views support is a whole different animal that's done through hook_views_data()... and thorough documentation would make a great book. andrew
