Basically I require a CKK "compound field" that will accept two values, specifically the fist value to get a taxonomy term and the other to be a number (quantity) field (attach a number value to a content taxonomy field).
I want to be able to calculate the sum qty of all terms in every node, eg To find out what the most popular items are that were submitted by members who list this on their own node
page.
Cheers

I don't know if it works with content taxonomy, but the v3 version of cck includes a combofield function. Otherwise you could try the flexifield module. Another option would be to use a nodereference to another content type and views_attach or nodereference_views and maybe the nodereference_url modules.

Thank you for the info, with that I was also able to find the Flexifield module http://drupal.org/project/flexifield which may be exactly what I need, except its alpha. And the two other projects listed there CCK Multigroup and Combo Field also look promising. And I found this - http://drupal.org/project/content_multigroup, but a bit concerned about the upgrade path.

The content_multigroup module is a backport of the cck3 functionality to cck2, so i assume that the upgrade to cck3 will be rather smooth. No guarantees though...

Thanks, I will give that a tryout today.

Just an update, I haven't used any of these because after reading through discussions on these modules I think its best to wait for CCK 3 final or just use the development version of CCK3 if I really need it sooner.
