I have made sure that I have the latest version of cck (6.x-2.2). However I do not see a multigroup option available when I create a new group in a content type. I do have fieldgroup enabled.

What am I missing?

machuhail, travel into the cck/modules/content_multigroup folder and read the README.txt there. This is not production material, but so long as you limit your use (see README.txt) it appears to work wonderfully.

Today I created a "links" node type that provides unlimited link + textfield groupings. It's the butter on my toast.

I'm having the same problem. I read the readme file, but I can only create "Standard" groups. Sorry to be the remedial student on this one, but it seems like there's something I'm missing and any help would be appreciated.

Dracolyte,

The important part of the README file is :

To try it out, add a content_multigroup.info file to the module.
The info file should be a plain text file that looks like:
===================================================================
name = Content Multigroup
description = Combine multiple CCK fields into repeating field collections that work in unison. This module is experimental and not ready for production.
dependencies[] = content
dependencies[] = fieldgroup
package = CCK
core = 6.x

Once you add that multigroup.info file with the above contents, you should see the multigroup options.

macuhail -- Thanks for replying. Can you clarify one thing for me? I must be missing something. Here's what I did:
~ Downloaded and installed latest cck
~ Downloaded and installed what I thought was the content_multigroup module from here: http://drupal.org/node/119102?page=1 (replaced the content_multigroup that came with the cck)
~ I tried the .gz in comment 424 and the one in comment 512. No luck.
~ I read the readme files in both of those content_multigroups and neither one mentions an info file. BUT both do have their own info files.
~ The new info files live in cck/modules/content_multigroup.

Since my README.txt files don't even mention the info file, I think I downloaded the wrong thing.

What should I be downloading?

Eureka!
For the simple folk like myself:
You must look here: http://drupal.org/node/119102 in comment #468.
Install the latest cck, then install the two patches mentioned in the link above, then install the tar file in the link above.
If you want to use more up-to-date patches and tars, I can't help you there yet.
Thanks again, macuhail.

This is what you basically need:

1) #196421: Deleting unwanted multiple values / multiple values delta issues
2) #119102: Combo field - group different fields into one

However, you're on your own until all this stuff is committed to CVS.
