I have recently attempted to convert my flexinode to CCK. I have followed all the instructions as detailed in the documentation. Backed up databases, made matching content types and fieldsm etc... I have attempted this conversion a few times with difference variables and still no effect.

Things I changed:
- if the CCK field was required or not
- the name of one flexinode field because I had just labeled the flexinode field as a blank space " " so I renamed it to Body and made a matching CCK field.

The problem is that most of the fields are transferred without a problem; even the images were transferred without a glitch! The image caption (as below) transferred properly but the teaser and more importantly the body of the flexinode didn't transfer. Strange because all the "complicated" fields like checkboxes and dropdown menus as well as one of the text fields was transferred ecexpt for these two!

I'm temporarily using this website as the test site: http://www.mysharetrading.com.au/ (main site is the .com)

Help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the following output from the CCK converter:

    * Syncing flexinode: flexinode-3 to cck: content_article
    * Mapping Article with Image (flexifield-5) to field_article_with_image
    * Mapping Image Caption (flexifield-6) to field_image_caption
    * Mapping Teaser (flexifield-7) to field_teaser
    * Mapping Image (flexifield-8) to field_image
    * Mapping Body (flexifield-9) to field_body
    * Mapping Full Image (flexifield-10) to field_full_image
    * Mapping Full Image Check (flexifield-12) to field_full_image_check
    * There are 1258 items to convert
    * Inserted '1258' items (1258)
    * Yay, all nodes converted

I did try something different with one of the flexinodes. I noticed that the flexinodes were displaying the titles of their fields all except for the body. (but it did for the teaser) for example:

Image:
jpeg image (image field type)

Article with Image:
Full Size Image occupying Whole width of Column (drop box option)

Image Caption:
caption for the image (text field)

... but it didn't do it for the body. So I edited one flexinode and updated it and I noticed the "body" finally appeared for that particular node. Then I ran the whole process again. But it didn't work - the "body" and "teaser" fields didn't convert to CCK
