Solving (almost) All of Your Problems with CCK and Views
Virtually every site built with Drupal uses CCK and Views. These modules allow you to create specialized web forms with whatever arbitrary fields you need and then create lists of just the submissions you want to see. In this session we will take a hands on approach to learning these tools for creating and listing content as well as administering it.
Agenda
- Creating a new content type
- Adding arbitrary fields to that type using CCK
- Creating lists of these types on pages and in blocks using Views
- Using Filters, Arguments and Relationships in your views
- Using Views Bulk Operations to create administrative views for your users
Goals
- Attendees will leave with a strong sense of how, when and where to use
- Taxonomy
- Custom Content Types
- Views
- Attendees will leave understanding the strengths (and weaknesses) of using CCK and Views for various uses in your web applications
