Hi

How is this module installed so as to allow the importation of cck fields into a specific content type.

Please advise as soon as possible of the entire process after the module is activated in Drupal.

Regards

Adrian

Hi Adrian,
I just started to use this nice module.

First, some explanation upon exporting the content types on your site:
- go to the content_type page and create the content type. Take note of all the different field types you use.
- Go to the modules page, select the cck-section and activate content_copy. This "Enables ability to import/export field definitions."
- Now go back to your content type. You'll see 2 new buttons [Export] and [Import] next to [Fields]
- Choose [Export], select your content type, choose [Export]. Now you can copy&paste the definition in a txt-file.
- Do this for all your custom content types.

Then you can import the content types on the same site, or another one, following the instructions on project page:
On the importing site:
'Place the newly created text files in the /import subdirectory of this module.'
- download the module, and put this in modules-directory
- place the newly created text files in the /import subdirectory of this module.
'Ensure all dependant modules are installed for the fields in the content types.'
- Go to the modules-page, select CCK-section and activate all the fieldtypes you used.
'Install the module.'
- Go to the modules-page, activate the module.
- the contents types are now imported.
- go to the content type page to view your defintions
