Can someone help a newbie?
I am trying to use CCK to categorize dog breeds based on type , function, breed, size, color, etc. I have created different fields for each of these categories but dont know how to incoporate these fields into my date content. I want authors to be able to pick from these fields when creating a date content.
I tried using Taxonomy and created a vocabulary for each of these catagories but could not link these vocabularies to show relationship and I think adding too many terms to the vocabulary confuses the user.
Is there a way to create fields in CCK and have it show up like a node when creating a " date content" ? if not any suggestions? Thankyou

This usually done with taxonomy, but if you don't want to use taxonomy you can add fields to any content type with cck (that's the entire purpose of the cck module). Goto admin/content/types and click the 'manage fields' tab for the content type you to which you want to add fields.

I have added cck fields in my content type> manage fields but I don't see them when I try to "create content". I created fields with cck in my date content type but when I go to admin/create content/date I don't see the fields that I created.
I tried Taxonomy but I don't think I can create relationship between different vocabularies. I want user to be able to create a date content and be able to pick from a drop down menu > BIG DOGS>drop down menu> BREED NAME> drop down menu > COLOR> etc
Any suggestions? thanks

If you create a single hierarchical taxonomy use can use the hierarchical_select module to create dependent drop downs.
For the missing fields-- if you're using the content_permissions module make sure you've set the field permissions appropriately at admin/user/permissions.

thanks for your reply. I found the hierarchial select module in dupal 5 modules download section. It is looks very good but version 6 is still under development. Not sure if it will run on drupal 6 but I am going to try it on today. Thanks for your help
