Good morning,

Hi.

I am looking for a method of importing CCK content types during module installation. From what I have read this seems difficult, or perhaps impossible? Any nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

If you use the Features module (http://drupal.org/project/features) you can create the content type on a test site and export it using Features and cTools. With this exported Feature you have a module that creates exactly this content type during installation. Additionally you can export variables and lots of other settings with Features. hth, Stefan
