I would like to know if anyone is up to the task of preparing documentation on how it is possible to create personal fields that can be plugged into CCK.

Thanks.

Use either Text or Number modules as examples of how to do it. We deliberately added in lots of documentation to that code so you could use it as an example.

It's unlikely you'll get anything more anytime soon since none of the devs have time to do it. You're welcome to try to create some if you like :)

Wish me luck as I probe further into Text and Number modules. Will print them out and stare at the code with great awe later today. If I gain any insights, I'll post it back here.

I'm sure anything you come up with will be much appreciated. I'll be glad to review it for accuracy, once you come up with something.

How about writing this on the project page? It would be useful information for developers who are interested in learning CCK API.

Sorry, but as discussed here it's still not obvious how this is supposed to work, even looking at sample code (I try and copy the flow of the included CCK modules with no success).

Should this, or #247932: CCK needs better documentation... be closed as a dupe of the other, BTW?

@raintonr: True. Marking it a duplicate. See #247932: CCK needs better documentation... instead.
