Hi, I just installed v5 and CCK and was wondering if it's possible to to allow users to add multiple fieldGroups within a node. I'm building a cms and have a "links" content type. Then I have a fieldGroup that contains a url textfield and a description. I'd like the user to be able to add multiple links this way:

--fieldGroup--
-url
-description

(add new)

Please excuse this if it seems simple. I'm new to drupal and have tried searching through the docs and forums to find the answer.

Thanks!

Well, I found the links module addon and this is somewhat close to what I was looking for. But I'd really like to find a way to be able to allow the client to add additional fieldgroups for any type of content I provide. In the CMS this could be images, links, textfields, etc.

After learning a bit more about Drupal, I discovered views and now use them to achieve the intended result. I create a custom link type with the necessary url and description fields, then create a view to load them into. In the header section of the views I use this code:

<a href="?q=node/add/links">Add a new link...</a>

and this lets me create a new link directly from the view.
