I added a new column "approval" into the table 'files'. When i go to views and wanted to add the approval field, it's not there.
What can i do to let it appear?
Create little module with hooks of views, that describe your field

I have a form on a node, that displays 2 fields that are entity reference fields from the current node page. It shows the correct info on the label of the fields, but as soon as you save the form, it saves the nodes title and not the correct info.
See screenshot at https://www.dropbox.com/s/rwj1lu1d34zgb53/ScreenshotEntityform.jpg
I don't know PHP or how to mod/write a Drupal module, I just need some guidance as to if this is possible and how to do it, so any help would be really really great, thanks.
There is a setting to edit how an entity reference field is displayed.
If you go to Structure > Content Types > Your Content Type > Manage Display then you will see a select box to control the format of each field.
The entity reference field will let you choose between either label, entity ID or rendered entity. It sounds like at the moment it is set to label so is showing the node title. If you set it to show the rendered entity then it will show all fields that belong to the referenced entity.
The easiest way to hide fields you don't want displayed would be to install the Field Permissions module. This will give you a setting for each field that allows you to choose who can see it. If you don't want to use the Field Permissions module you could create a custom template but it sounds like your trying to avoid that...
i want to add one field in view from my module.Is there any way to add a field which is not in database to the drupal view?
Can you add a computed field (http://drupal.org/project/computed_field) to your nodes? This doesn't have to be stored in the database and it could use your module, or you could enter php code directly.
I have a node that contains 6 fields. When the user views the node, the only fields that appear are those for which the user has already entered data. When the user edits the node, all the fields are visible. I have inspected the HTML to confirm that the missing fields are not being hidden by CSS. How do I make all the fields visible when the user views the node?
If the field is empty, then drupal won't display it.
You can create a views with Views Module http://drupal.org/project/views and display all fields with a default value.
Contemplate is also a good solution to create easily template for your node : http://drupal.org/project/contemplate
I have a content type which has several fields. When I add new fields to this content type, they get added. I am able to enter data into these newly created fields. But when I publish it, the previously existing fields are shown. But the newly created fields do not appear.
I have checked the permission, cleared the cache.
Am not much aware of using view module. But there exist a view for this content type. Is that responsible for it?
Thanks in advance.
If the page where you want to see your fields is handle by Views, yep definitivly need to look into this views. There a lot of chance that the views only display fields (at the opposite of "full node" or "teaser"), and the fields it display are set in the views configuration.
Some modules will allow granular permissions per cck field.
You might check the user permissions page and see if there is a checkbox for "view {CUSTOM FIELD}" or "edit {CUSTOM FIELD}".
I found out what it is. Actually in the file node.tpl.php , there was an exception for the content type 'article' to print only the predefined fields. So, the newly created fields were not getting printed. But when I added the php code for printing these newly added fields, it worked. Thank you everyone for your time.
I have added a new content type event. Now, i have to make a view in which it shows a set of fields if the dateOfEvent (one of the fields) is less than the present date and some other set of fields of the 'event' content if the dateOfEvent is more than the present date. how can I do that in the views..
thanks in advance for helping...
Hmm... I think I'd do this in the theming layer. So in views, you would make all fields available, and then in the theme, you'd hide one set or the other depending on the date value. Whether to do it with views theming, or in the node_type.tpl.php file depends on how else you're using the cck types.
Following this guide should get you where you're going: Step by Step Setup of Calendar View
Are you using the Date module? It will add a bevy of new views options and make CCK date field easier to use in this manner describing exactly what you asked.
