Hide fields in CCK Node Types?
I've been using Drupal for quite a while, but this is the first time I'm actually trying to build an application with it. I'm building it on an intranet, so no big need for security etc.
I'm using CCK and Views extensively as well as other modules like auto_nodetitle.
I've created a CCK type called "Stock", which contains fields like "Serial number", "Model number", "Date Captured", etc.
One of the specific fields is "Booked out", with values of "Yes/No" indicating whether or not a stock item has been booked out of the storehouse.
What I need, is a seperate/second/modified CCK form that only shows the the serial number (or similar unique field or fields) and the "Booked out" field, where the user can then change the status of the item, whether it is booked out or not.
I have playing with webform, but the post processing is really difficult to trudge through and I am losing more time trying to figure it out than moving forward with the project.
I have taken quite an extensive look at all the modules available (a lengthy task as any one will tell you) and nothing seems to satisfy my needs.
At the end of the day, I would like a view listing specific stock, with a button in an extra column that says "Booking" or whatever, and this in turn will take you to the extra form for that specific stock item, where you can change the booking status.
Are there any other suggestions as to what might help?
I'm kind of at rope's end here.
Thank you

See http://drupal.org/project/views_bookmark
(But use the 'dev' version; the 'official' one has some bugs.)
The module has Views integration. Simply build a 'table' view with two columns: node title, and a 'book out!' field.
Aaahh
It's definitely on the right track now!
Thank you.
I've got the "Book in/Book out" link working perfectly (very nice module by the way).
Unfortunately, I also need to save 'Who it's booked for' and 'Booking Date'... I was looking at using editablefields on views or even editview, but editview makes ALL my fields editable... (something which I don't know how to prevent) and editablefields doesn't seem to want to update, and I've been trolling through the forum for all sorts of solutions.
At first I thought it's an incompatibility with auto_nodetitles and editablefields, but even the patches that are supposed to fix this, doesn't seem to work.
I guess I could live with editview...
Anything else that allows for editablefields in views?
* UPDATE *
Never mind... editview doesn't like nodereference and userreference fields... and there doesn't seem to many patches for those problems around either...
Any other suggestions?
Have you tried the CCK Field
Have you tried the CCK Field Permissions module?
Hmmm,
Not exactly what I need :(
It works, but it also hampers the entering of the full node on first entry... so unless everyone has two sets of usernames and passwords, one for entering full nodes and one for changing the booking status... it won't exactly work.
I also tried switching off the auto_nodetitle for the specific content type, in case that was what was interfering with the editablefields, but no such luck...
Today I'm going to try going through older versions of editablefields... you can't tell me that it's never worked before...
Wow
I've found something that pretty much solves my problem...
Not as elegant as what the editablefields/Views Bookmarks combination would have been, but it's working for what I need.
I just installed the Doubleclick module which allows me to double click on the node title and it goes to an edit page.
The beautiful part is that once you submit, it goes back to the view you came from... which is pretty much what I wanted to eliminate in the first place.
Thanks for all the help guys!
