Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Not sure if this module will help me or not...this is what I am trying to accomplish:
Create a node that allows me to enter a table of results (sports standings in this example). So when creating the node, I'd name the node with this month's date (Mar 2007 for example) and then have a three-column table (or matrix)...one for the users name (a registered user on the site) and then the second is rank, and the third is their score.
I'd want the first column to be a drop down selector of a registered user so the results get tagged to that user. My plan is to then use Views to make use of these fields.
How can I accomplish this with CCK? Do I need Matrix? I installed it but can't seem to get it to do anything remotely what I am trying to do. I can define columns using Matrix but can't tell it that the first column is a user selection list. Nor when I go to create a node that I made with CCK does it allow me to enter multiple rows - probably because I only defined one row in the setup.
It's almost like I'd like the option INSIDE the node creation screen to keep adding another row to the table and define another user and add in their points.
Many thanks.

catchYou could make a composite field with a user reference and two number fields (I think( - and at least in D6 you'd get an "add more" button for that. Theming it as a table is a different task really.
Also you could set up the CCK fields to be one per node, then use views and the various editable views modules to hack something up - one table view for editing, one for displaying. Depends exactly on how you want to use the data, and a lot has changed since 4.7 when you posted this.

mdowsett commentedi just upgraded to D5 two months ago and I have a lot of modules that took this long to get updated to 5 to make the switch to here! :)
D6 is out of the question.
Any other ideas? This need has been lingering for years....I'm surprised there isn't some module that could help.

catchWell using cck + views + one of the 'editable view' modules might work for you, like I said. Also you can get an add more button in Drupal 5 CCK, it's just not as nice as it is in D6. Afaik you'd have to implement your own module with the three fields to get them grouped together though - there's an issue for that here: http://drupal.org/node/119102
Essentially - there are ways to do this, but as far as I know, no drop-in solution.

karens commentedClosing old issues. None of us is using the D5 version any more, so hard to provide any support. Sorry.
