Multiple values

Seconding this request. I am using this module in a drupal application and am designing workflow screens with views, and also using it in some cases for the full node's field displays. Editable fields is great for this - I am using mainly click-to-edit so as to reduce page load time. But I notice so far that the support for cck fields which have multiple values has some problems. (I have tried the latest dev of cck and editable fields but noticed this is still not included in the module's functionality)

Regardless of the type of cck field (i am using filefield, content taxonomy, text fields, images and others) - only the first value is shown when the view or the node is loaded and the field is in click-to-edit mode. When i click-to-edit a field, the multiple values appear, but there is no interface to add new values.

It would be great if this module could fully support multiple values cck functionality in both editable and click to edit mode. This would mean:

- displaying all of the multiple values of the field when the field is loaded in click-to-edit mode (it is important to be able to see all values of a field in this mode, not just when editing)

- include a remove button for each of the multiple values when the user clicks the edit button (or when the node/view's field loads in editable mode)

- include the add another item button, so new values can be added when the field is in editable mode

I believe this would add a lot of value to this already excellent module. If you need more information or clarification about this, let me know - i can take screenshots of my work in progress.

Thanks for your great work!

Yes this is important for me too!

Thanks.

it would be great to get some sort of response from the maintainer(s) of this module as to whether this might be able to be fixed or not.

It's a great module but it really falls over in a situation like this where multiple values need to be viewed and managed, and means you have to go back to editing the node.

I have an application underway that needs this - if it doesn't look fix-able in the near short term it probably means abandoning this module and finding another way.

I'd be willing to contribute some $ for this fix, anyone else?

I don't have coding skills, but would be willing to help out with testing. I don't use this on a commercial site, but I could contribute beer/pizza/book money if it would help. As mentioned already, allow editing of multiple value CCK would really make this module even more useful.

Thanks

Hi guys, I solved my problem swotching to panels and views.
I make an example: i want to show a project (node) and the registered user must have the ability to upload a file, but not to edit the node.
I made a panel page to show the elements of the node (title, body, etc). About the attachments, I created a view of nodes "attachments" (I created before). In this way I have not only the list of files upload by users, but also the authors.

This solution of course was the best for my project. Hope it can be helpful for someone else!

unfortunately my problems with this module can't be solved as easily.

i need to have custom built views which are capable of displaying multiple values when in 'click to edit' mode - and currently that doesn't happen.

also, the need to properly support adding a value or removing when the widget is a cck textfield, cck filefield etc is really important.

its quite frustrating to have this issue sit here for over 2 months without any acknowledgement from the maintainers.

is this something that's just too hard? is it feasible or planned in a future release? would a donation of time for testing or a financial contribution assist in solving this problem?

a short response to this would be most appreciated :)
