Help with CCK

You would probably want to use another module, like imagefield, to create an image field, so let's say you wanna override the title field on a form for argument's sake:

function hook_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {
if($form_id == 'photo_element_node_form'){ //change to the id of the form you are working on
$form['title'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => 'Title',
'#default_value' => $form['title']['#default_value'],
'#required' => FALSE,
'#weight' => -6,
);
}

If you are altering multiple forms consider using a case statement instead of this simple if statement.

Thanks but I can't see how you are using CCK fields in the above. I want to find out how I can create a content type for my module with CCK fields, but I am getting lost in which code snippets I need to use to get them visible in the hook_form();

Maybe I am over complicating things, or getting the wrong end of the stick.

So I can easily create content types with CCK in the browser through Drupal. By say adding an 'Image' field.

How do I do the same as this yet get my module to automatically add the 'Image' field to the content type it creates on install?

So that the moment through hook_form(); I have a field for title and body, yet I want to add the 'Image' field onto this.

Maybe the link above is for creating your own custom CCK field? When I want to use one which is already available, yet I don't know how to add it to my custom content type.
