I'm trying to install CCK (4.7.0 version) under freshly installed Drupal 4.7.0.
I copy the cck directory to /modules, enable the content.module and other cck-related modules -- but when I go to administer -> content -> content types, it displays a blank page.
I guess CCK should generate several db tables (node_type, node_field, etc.), but this module does not include any SQL script -- is it supposed to work automatically when you enable the content.module?
I created these tables manually using the db_queries from the content.install file, but it does not help -- I still see an empty page for "content types".
Same for CCK(cvs).

Hi,

I have the same problem of a blank page too. I didn't try to create the dabase files because according to the instructions, they are done automatically when the module is selected. Any help in getting this module working is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kiran.

Installed Drupal manually and all is working well.

I'm having a similar problem in 4.7.3.

Unpacked cck module, checked it in admin->modules, but got a blank page when submitting the change. Drupal then reports errors about the missing tables from content.install.

Now I have permissions for content module in admin->access controls, and the admin->content->content types menu item is available, but there's nothing in it (obviously trying to create custom contents types with no backend tables isn't going to work...)

Haven't yet tried creating the tables manually. Are all of the update functions in .install files normally run when modules are initially installed?

I guess I'll poke around on it for a bit before restoring a back up DB.

I installed on 4.7.3 as well and manually created tables. I am able to go into views and create and edit, but when I click "save" I get this:

user warning: Unknown column 'options' in 'field list' query: INSERT INTO view_tablefield (vid, tablename, field, label, handler, sortable, defaultsort, options, position) VALUES (5, 'node_data_field_house_pic_0', 'field_house_pic_0_fid', '', '', 0, '', '', 0) in /includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

hi kris,

if you're still having problems with CCK, I started a new thread (then answered my own question) here: http://drupal.org/node/80721. Good luck!
