Description

No options are provided to filter CCK fields.
I would think about a feature request, but it seems that some users get them.

What can prevent the filter to appear next to CCK fields in Edit forms?

Is this a known bug, a missing feature, or a specific issue that only hits me?

I have several Drupal site on a multi-site install with very different configurations, they all behave the same.
So this is not a conflict with another module.

As this would be non-sense for this module to not filtering CCK fields, I guess it is a bug
Changed the status accordingly

I can only filter the complete cck field, but not parts of it

So it is a specific problem, as I cannot filter at all.
The specific kind of field I am trying to hide is Viewfield
Links does not hide too, so I deducted that all CCK fileds are ignored by FormFilter

Are CCK fields filterable?
If yes, are all CCK Fields supported?
If yes, this is a bug, please help,

If no at one of the 2 questions, il transform this issue as feature request

thanks

I know you could filter in 5.x but it appears to have been broken in 6.x

I'm looking for a workaround and will report back if I find anything.

I'm mucking my way through this now as I'm moving from a 5.x install to 6 and need the functionality provided by formfilter.

It looks like this can be achieved with a 1-2 punch.

Use FormFilter for all the non-CCK fields and the use Field Permissions http://drupal.org/project/field_permissions for CCK fields. You could use the Content Permissions module shipped with CCK, but Field Permissions seems generally superior.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
I would still regret the form filter feature for CCK that is so convenient when you just want to keep fields for the administor purpose only.
Before closing this, I would like to know the maintainer's opinion if this is a bug, or a voluntary design.
