Issue Summary
Type: Documentation
Author: davidwees
Task description:
Utilizing at least a rudimentary understanding of PHP, good XHTML and CSS skills, take the same node form and add fields to it using the CCK module (http://drupal.org/project/cck), then theme this form, making sure to document your work. This is a task that nearly all professional Drupal developers need to know how to do.
Using good coding practice (http://drupal.org/coding-standards) to complete this task, you must:
1. Create a new content type.
2. Add at least 5 different types of fields to the content type.
3. Using the phptemplate theme engine (http://drupal.org/phptemplate), theme the content type you created in 3 visually distinct ways. Note that this task is not about changing the display of the form after it is submitted, but while the user is entering his/her data.
When you have completed this task, you should create a documentation page in the appropriate location in the theming portion of the handbook which describes your changes and provides your code, as well as screen-shots of what the changes look like.
Some resources to help you with this task are:
1. The documentation on the PHPTemplate engine is available here: http://drupal.org/phptemplate
2. General information about creating theme overrides is available here: http://drupal.org/node/55126
3. Information specific to theming a form is available here: http://drupal.org/node/112358
4. If you need help, you can post a question in the forums (http://drupal.org/forum) or contact someone on the #drupal-support channel on irc.freenode.net.
5. When you need to create your screen-shot, read this page first: http://drupal.org/node/11637
I estimate that this task should take about 4-5 days to complete.

Is this ok, shell I write more and do you find English grammar mistakes ? Thx

Marking needs review.

The structure is good, just have some minor points.
1. 'Contenttyp' should be 'content type'
2. Use
<?phpand
?>
unfortunately removes all the extra whitespace.3. Instead of linking to a code pasting site, put your code in the page, wrapped in
<?phpand
?>
4. Remove the code from your examples that is commented out.
Once you have done this, I'll mark this task as complete as your code looks sound.
#6
so here are my fixes
a need another task :)
#7
Anyone else see this as RTBC? I guess I'll put his text in a page in the appropriate location in the developer's handbook, then once someone else agrees, we can make this as completed.
#8
Okay found some very minor issues.
1. Where does one put this code?
2. Coding standard:
<?php
for (blah)
{
}
?>
should be
<?php
for (blah) {
}
?>
#9
See http://drupal.org/node/198572
#10
I've marked this task complete in the Google tracker. Good job!
Now I'm moving over to the Documentation list so we can go in and make some minor corrections (grammar/spelling, coding standards, etc.)
#11
is it possible to use my screenshots?
#12
Changed the component to reflect the new component categorization.
