since my last request for new functionality in 4.7.0 went over so well, i thought i'd try again. ;) (just kidding). seriously, this is a pain in the ass for CCK usability: http://drupal.org/node/49690 all of CCK's field types are implemented as separate modules. they currently have names like "text.module" or "date.module", etc. however, that means they show up all over the place in the admin/modules page, which makes it hard for admins to enable all the required modules for CCK. apparently, there are a couple of possible solutions: http://drupal.org/node/18447 "Simple dependency system" this one has a patch by chx waiting to be committed. http://drupal.org/node/19477 "Module Grouping by Folder in Admin/Modules" this is just in the "it'd-be-nice-if..." phase, so there's basically no hope for this one in 4.7.x. if neither of these issues gets fixed for 4.7, CCK is going to have to rename all its files (and therefore function names), to avoid user confusion, and make CCK easier to administer and use. people have mentioned a few other modules (ecommerce, etc) where this is a problem. i'd love to avoid the pain of renaming things in cvs (no one say "svn" or "bzr", or i'll scream), but we're going to have to do that before 4.7.0 really goes live if neither of these issues (or something very similar) get fixed for 4.7.0. should i give up hope and start working on renaming the CCK field modules to "cck_field_text", "cck_field_date", etc (or something)? i don't want to spend time writing a patch for core to group modules from the same subdirectory together on the admin/modules page, if there's no chance it would get committed in time for 4.7.0. please let me know. thanks, -derek
