Hey Everyone , first off thanks for all the support ive been given, and now onto the issue at hand

I am Running drupal 6.6
MYSQL 5.0.51b
PHP 5.2.6
and CCK 6.x-2.0

I have installed the Module i have enabled the content aspect of the module, now i should be able to manage my content types and be able to "add field"
But add filed is not showing up anywhere when i administer the content types.not in the menu of content types nor when i try to edit an individual content type?.

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the module but to no avail, still not showing th "add field" options.?

any help would be appreciated

On admin/build/types, you have the list of content types
Each has a 'manage fields' link
From the 'Manage fields' page you can add new fields

Hint : install http://drupal.org/project/admin_menu and get direct access to the 'Manage fields' screens for each content type, and to the individual fields settings page for each form.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for two weeks with no activity.

Hi,

I am able to add fields. They show up when I am logged in as administrator. But for the content types which have access to anonymouus user, none of the fields except Title and body is showing up.

For this we have to go Permissions and there try checking the boxes of view fields

Am I right?

If we want to allow anonymous user to submit a content type and that content type has CCK fields, then we have to give Edit permission for those fields to anonymous users.

That's right.
You're commenting on a closed issue, though, so it's not clear what to expect.
Do you need support, do you see a bug ?

No, obviously the issue has been closed by default of two weeks of inactivity on this issue. But that does not mean that other people are not going to experience the same in future. And these threads are going to remain on the Internet and be searchable for a long time and I certainly won't be the last person to visit this thread since a similar problem has been encountered.

These Issues are more than just lists of bug reports, but their replies also contain answers and workarounds. I find browsing issues extremely informative and learn a great deal from them. If commenting on a closed issue supplies a resolution or further info related to the issue, that is good practice IMHO.

I know this is closed but I do not see any solution here that works. I can only presume that the documentation is different to the current version. ie Manage Fields is now where you Add Fields.

Problem is when I try and enter something into New Field and then goto the page, there is no input box. The input box seems to be only active when creating the content for the page.

I think the key to this is with the Permissions of the new fields that are added. Once the field has been added Permissions need to be set so that the relevant Roles can see the fields as indicated in #5 & #6

The problem happens to me when I use an IE browser. The symptom is that the 'New Field' text box does does not appear.

I switched to FF and everything works fine. I've had this kind of thing happen for Panels UI also.

Hope that helps whoever runs across this.

@caderial:

You have to also enable at least one content type first (as text, filefield and/or imagefield).
Unless you do this the add field option is not available.

Yep It was permissions for me. I hate this whole closed topic thing. I found this thread and it just helped me out today.
