Question 1
I have created a new content type (publications) using CCK with additional fields.
When i created a view that summary list of all of these publications all i see is the default title and body and none of the content type specific fields.
Whats wierd is that in the preview it shows the data correctly, only when i view the live page these peices of data are gone.
why would that be?
Question 2
how can i create a filter drop down, for a specific field. For example the publication content type has a custom field called topic. I would like to add a topic filter drop down to the top of the view that allows the user to filter based on topic.
Any help on either of these questions would be greatly apprecaited.

For question 1 -- the likely reason is the content_permissions aren't set on your cck fields. You need to go to permissions, and enable it for your cck field types. They're disabled by default for every user role.
you need to give content permission.
hi,
if you enabled content permission module, you need to give permission to view the cck fields. Then only it will be get displayed on node view.
If i am not correct, pls ignore it.

Although i didn't update the content permissions for the fields, i did remvoe the module that manages these permissions and the fields appeared in my view.
