I posted this over three weeks ago on "Post Installation" and got no responses...perhaps it is more complicated than I had thought...

I would like my users to be able specific info on, for example, all the theme parks they've been to. So for each park, I'd like them to be able to input info like the city, state, review, maybe even a photo.

But each member will have been to a different number of parks. I guess I am looking for a "Add New Park" button that would generate a set of blank text fields, and then a button that would add that to the db and give them the option to add another.

(also, for exmple, if I want people to be able to enter various different websites, or just one,)

I imagine it is a common need....anything out there for me?

CCK would probably work best.

In case you are wondering... CCK allows you to build a new content type with as many new fields as you need for your application. It basically extends the basic node type (title + body) into a record that you define by adding fields to it. Fields can be defined as images, text, URLs, etc. Once you created a new content type (for instance: themepark), it will behave just like a core content type (like page and story), so you can control access to it, define its properties, display it as you wish, use Views to create specific queries and lists, etc. A part of CCK is embedded in the core of Drupal5, but you will probably want to download the full module as well as some of its extensions (http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/88) as it allow greater flexibility overall.
