CCK Matrix Field - Views (new module, working) Attached

Hi there,

I needed to have the Matrix Field work with Views Fields. This I found to be difficult due to the way Matrix module stores its data. I've fixed the module, and now it works with CCK which creates the Tables, and allows us to leverage all of the CCK API. At the same time, this then gives us a chance to extract this information, and display it in views through Fields (and not just Full Nodes/Teasers).

I'd like to have this module merged with Matrix module, instead of us creating a new cck_matrix project.
The only thing is that I have not written an upgrade path, and I wouldn't know where to start to get the old matrix modules users, able to run cck_matrix (attached).

If you think its better to start a new project, I'll do so.

Otherwise, please take a look at the fixes. A lot of what has been done has been leveraged off of Matrix module, there are several changes.

I've added the following to the README.txt file if you plan to merge the two.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
---------------------
Since this module now works with Creating Dynamic CCK Tables, you have to setup the Rows and Columns Field Settings
* found at: admin/content/node-type/[content-type]/fields/[matrix-field]
Rows and Columns need to have key|value pairs. Eg:
Rows:
1_day|1 Day, 1 night
2_day|2 Days, 1 night
Columns:
1_person| 1 Person
2_person| 2 People Sharing

This will create columns in the Database under the content_field_[matrix_field] table:
select * from content_field_greg_matrix;

+-------+-------+-------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| vid   | nid   | delta | field_matrix_1_person    | field_matrix_2_person    |
+-------+-------+-------+--------------------------+--------------------------+

Rows are saved as the Delta, and the amount of Rows (2 in the example above) will equal the amount of rows available on node/add/[content-type]

This allows us to display the Matrix field in Views as Fields.

VIEWS:
------
This module is now views compatible. Atleast for Fields. And possibly filtering on the Delta. Filtering for NOT EQUAL TO works, but not much else at the moment. Patches in this regard are welcome.
