No CCK text field with dropdown select combo?

kevo - December 23, 2008 - 05:48

Am I right that CCK can't do this ...

text field with dropdown select options:

example: text field with dropdown select values of "lb, oz, g, qt, fl oz, ml"
So the weight can be added, then the unit that it would apply to.

This is a rather common combo of fields, but I can't find any module that does it.

Is there any module that does this and I'm missing it? If there is no module, how would be a alternative way to do this with CCK (drupal 6.8)? I assume I would create all the fields for each unit, group them, then update the theme to show titles after the data.

Thanks for any ideas.

I'm interested in it as

I'm interested in it as well..
I have a node reference field that should be choosed between all nodes that have one term selected in a previous field.
Since I know the only module that do something similar to this is Hierarchical Select http://drupal.org/project/hierarchical_select, but it can't do what I need.
Maybe you have more luck.

I think the Money CCK module

I think the Money CCK module might do a similar thing: http://drupal.org/project/money
You select a currency then input the monetary value.

Perhaps you can alter it?

*Edit* The 'Education Field' module is much easier to customize. I just did it myself for a select box / text field combo.
