can I add a CCK image field to another CCK field ? I would like to add icons for each item i add. At the moment I can only write the description.
This would be very cool functionality!
You could do this with JQuery if you want to add an icon by file type. For example see http://www.webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/jquery-tutorials-for-designers/ tip #10.
If you want to be able to specify an icon per item added (so it could be a different icon for every added item) then how you do it depends on how you are displaying it.
So lets say each CCK field is being added to a particular node type and you have a view that lists those nodes then I'd recommend adding a CCK image field to the node (so that each node of the required type has the descriptively named CCK image field and the original CCK field) and then adding a custom template to the view that controls how the image and field are output relative to each other.
I was about to write an example of how to do that but thought I'd check if that describes your needs before I add unnecessary info to the response.... can you clarify what you're trying to do?
You can do this using CCK 3.0's multigroup functionality. Note that there is no stable release for this branch, but it seems to work fine for most use cases.
You would add an image field (icon) and a text field, into a multigroup, and then when adding a new node, instead of the traditional 'add another' button, there is a button to add another group of associated fields.

I'm making a views slideshow of some images.
These images have a title.
I would like to expose this title as a drop-down list filter.
I'm able to do this with pr-configured filter values, but i want this list to be build by the values that the end users gives as a title to a image. (or made of another field like description etc...)
So, when a user uploads images with a title "vacation", i would like this value to come up in the exposed filter in the views slideshow...
Thank you
This can easily be done using the Views Reference Filter module.
Create a views page with the fields you wish to display.
Add an Entity Reference display to your view.
Set which field should act as your search field in the format settings of the Entity Reference display (in this case Content: Title). Remove or exclude all other fields for this display only (override).
To your page display add a filter Content: Nid (entityreference filter) and expose it to visitors. Remember to select the correct view in the "View used to select the entities" drop down if you have more than one Entity Reference views.
Optional steps:
Enable Ajax for your view.
Set the exposed form style setting to auto submit.
If I were trying to accomplish this I would add a taxonomy vocabulary for these images, then I would add a field to the image content type referencing this vocabulary.
After that, I would use create a Rule that would react to saving a new image and add a new taxonomy term to that image that is the title entered.
You can then easily create a filter in views to filter off that taxonomy term and expose that as a dropdown. By doing this each image should have a taxonomy term attached to it that is the image's title. As images are added the taxonomy terms should appear in the dropdown.
Let me know if you need any additional guidance.
I have a content type within which i'm using the Image field type and widget which provides a field for alt text and title. Now I'd like to add another field "link" to each image where I can define a custom link with each image. How can I do this?
Oh, I'm using Drupal 7...
Thanks,
Ron
If you want to avoid having to build your own module, I suggest you try Field Collection module. The module allows you to create a set of fields, combine it into one field and then use it as a field on content type.
You can create a field collection with one image field and link field, then output that as an image with link.
Please try this alter function - "multiupload_imagefield_widget_field_widget_form_alter"
Currently I have a Drupal installation which has colorbox installed, this allows me to upload a group of images with some text, each entry is its own entity but are all listed on the same page.
I was just wondering if there is a way that I can display a custom link under each views item (entity). Is this possible?
I'm looking for a quick way to simply add a link that links to the first image of the colorbox image slider.
First, set your Format to Show: Fields. To do so, click the link next to Show: (refer to the picture below) and change it to Fields.
If your Format is set to Show: Fields, you can add a new field of type Global: Custom text. Then, in the text box that appears, simply insert your custom link. If you need to pull in the URL dynamically, use a Replacement Pattern (see the list under the text box).
If you need to use another field as a replacement pattern, add it in the same way as you added the Global: Custom text field but make sure to check the Exclude from display checkbox so that it is not shown in your view.
I'm using a Drupal content type for all my nodes.
I was wondering if I can drag and drop (or just change the order of the CCK fields for some projects without having to create a new content type for the different projects.
For example, my customer would like to swap a CCK Image_field with a CCK Text_area for some particular projects. Is there a way to avoid to create a new content type just for these few changes ?
thanks
A content type has a fixed field order. If you would like to alter it, you will need to create a new content type. The only modifications that are made "on the fly" are fields that are empty (such as an image field without an uploaded image), in which case they're just not shown in the view.
I am using Drigg on Drupal 6.17. Drigg has a content type called as "Scoop". I try to change the labels and order of fields. Normally, this is done in Content Management > Content Types > Manage Fields . But some fields that are shown in Create Content screen are not shown in Manage Fields screen.
The screenshot of Manage Fields is here:
The screenshot of Create Content view is here:
The first three fields (Submit the scoop as.., Scoop's URL, Scoop) in Create Content form are not shown in Manage Fields view.
I would like to ask the reason for this. They must be defined somewhere else. Where is it?
Manage fields is for editing CCK fields that you have added. Other fields from different modules often have a weight setting that you can change to move the field up and down, which you would get to from the main content type editing page.
