Not really a support request, more a question... I have a content type ("resource") that uses taxonomy terms and the Conditional Fields to show appropriate fields for each kind of educational resource. Websites, for example, need a name and a URL, while books need an ISBN or an author/title. Ideally, I'd like to do something similar to the way this module works, but use my own field and content type and then query out for the title, cover image, etc. (Oh yeah, I'm using D7.)

I'm just a Drupal hobbist, without any real coding ability, but I'd love to figure out if there's a way I can adapt what you've done for my purposes. Any suggestions/feedback would be most appreciated.

congo,

The way this module is built it provides its own content type, which you can expand as you please with your own fields, so that's one way to go: use this, and build your own on top.

An other and more troublesome way is to use the mechanisms of this module to build your own module, which provides an ISBN-field and a set of related fields (a bundle, I think in D7 lingo) with the lookup functions, which you can use in other content types.
