We have a D5 site where a couple of years ago we created a content type of yellowpages ... no CCK, just Add New Content type. The purpose wasn't much more than to be able to segregate a certain type of content. Now we are enhancing this part of the site substantially and I find that one of the things we would like to do is to be able to create a yellowpages entry which is a book (child pages for each product or service). There is no option on a yellowpages content page to designate a parent page and no link for creating child pages. Is there a way of getting this without some in depth programming exercise.
FWIW, I am skeptical about getting the other site maintainers to let me implement CCK at this point, even if that might be the simple answer, because they are generally being very cautious about additional contrib modules. Indeed, one of the reasons we are still on D5 is because some of the modules in use are not in mature releases in D6.

Unless I am mistaken,
Unless I am mistaken, activating the book module will create an option on all content types, allowing you to add the latter to a book outline. (Perhaps this only happens in D6.)
Had you already activated the book module when you discovered that the option did not exist?
Yes, we use books all over
Yes, we use books all over the place, which is exactly why I know that is what I want to do here. I think there are some D5 vs. D6 differences though as I think that books are a lot easier to manage on my D6 sites.
