Article update: Creating a compound CCK field

Submitted by jhodgdon on 16 June 2011 - 2:10pm

I just updated my article on Creating a Compound CCK Field, to add some information on how to incorporate a node reference field into a compound field (I had a client project that required this, and getting it working was a little tricky). (Yes, I'm still maintaining several Drupal 6 sites for my clients!)

Anyway, I hope someone finds this update helpful! Someone asked me about it in a comment about 6 months ago, but I suppose they either figured it out or gave up long ago...

Linux Backups Article

Submitted by jhodgdon on 18 February 2011 - 11:02am

I'm in the process of migrating off Windows to a purely Linux environment in my office. I've been using a Windows computer as my primary day-to-day machine, and my two Linux laptops as (a) test web servers and (b) portable computers (something to take with me to meetings, conferences, etc. that I could use to access the Internet, read/answer email, and work/program on).

Article update: Creating a compound CCK field

Submitted by jhodgdon on 28 April 2010 - 2:04pm

I just updated my article on creating a compound CCK field. In this new version, I fixed a couple of problems reported by users of the module, added a fully-working example for text-only compound fields, added some new options at the top for alternatives to building compound CCK field modules, and tested everything with the latest versions of Drupal, CCK and the other dependent modules. So, there are two new downloads... enjoy!

I finally found some time to update my Drupal Cheat Sheet article, which is a beginner's guide to creating a Drupal site. The new version has a few minor oversights and errors corrected, including some previously-missing updates for Drupal 6, and several changes to the recommended modules list (mostly additions, as I've discovered some new Drupal modules that work well).
