Content Construction Kit Handbook
The Content Construction Kit allows you add custom fields to custom content types using a web interface. In Drupal 4.7 the Content Construction Kit creates both custom content types and custom fields. In Drupal 5.x, custom content types can be created in Drupal core, and the Content Construction Kit allows you to add custom fields to any content type.
The steps and paths to perform various activities are different between 4.7 and 5.x. Note that instructions like 'administer >> settings' are not urls, but refer to the navigation steps involved in getting to a particular page, i.e. 'select administer on the navigation menu, then select settings'.

- enable the Content Construction Kit modules at administer >> modules.
