I have a local area directory that I'm going to be cleaning up and porting to D6 in the coming months. I have these content types: Business, Church, General, Lodging, Medical, Non-Profit, Restaurant, Service, Store, Website. "They all share the same 15 or so fields. But some of them, like Restaurant have more fields. Every time I make a change to the fields, I need to change it in all 10 node types. I've often wished I could base all the others on "General" and have them only list the fields that are changed.
So I'd like to encourage you and hope this becomes a module without a "don't use" warning at some point. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat and anything to make life simpler when dealing with a ton of content types is very welcome.
Thanks,
Michelle

Michelle,
I would appreciate it if you'd check this out and give it a spin! I won't be able to release this as stable until it's been thoroughly vetted by the community.

Austin,
i agree with Michelle: this is something i could use.
I'm trying to create four different profile types (Parent, Teacher, SchAdmin, Staff) using profile_content to create the profile and placing it on the user's account page. There is a core set of fields that all four profile types share, such as title, first name, last name, e-mail, telephone. And then there are fields that only two share, such as Parent_committees and Teacher_committees and then their are fields unique to each user profile type.
I'll download it and try it out. Hopefully i don't encounter any severe bugs as i'm still a newbie to Drupal.
chx had pointed me this way, btw.
Thanks,
Tom
