Hi,
I don't know how to solve this problem: I've created a Custom node type (which I named: "Task", with CCK fields) with description about a problem (task), some dates, etc. I want to add some attachments to "Task" nodes. Each attachment must have some additional infos: Title of file, Short description, Priority of file, Date of upload, User, etc. One node could have several attachments. Project module is very similar to my concept, but it has some fixed fields (like Homepage, Documentation, Screenshot, Documentation, etc.), which I don't want in a node, and hasn't got some fields which I want in a node. How to solve this problem ? I've been thinking about using a CCK filefield module, but this module also hasn't got some additional fields like Short Description, Date of upload or a User, for each attachment. Any ideas how to extend this module ? The second solution is to create a new Custom node type (named "Attachment") with some CCK fields to provide a full description of an attachment. But a problem is: How to relate/link each "Attachment" to each "Task" in this way that user has to enter the concrete "Task" firstly, and then has to click link/button ("Add attachment") to add an attachment related with entered "Task" (he shouldn't see Create content->"Attachment" page) ?
Thank you for any ideas.
