CCK Extras is intended to demonstrate a variety of "novelty formatters" and "novelty widgets" for editing and displaying assorted CCK fields. While the code for these widgets and formatters works, they're intended more as demonstrations and starting points than production code. Extras include:

  • Link Redirection Formatter: A horrible hack that turns a CCK link field into a HTTP redirect. For link directory sites, that means users don't have to view the node, THEN click through to view the linked site. This is also dangerous, because using it without thinking can turn your entire site into a giant redirect.
  • Link As Screenshot: Uses the WebSnappr service to display CCK Link fields as screenshots of the site, rather than textual links. For simple link archives, it eliminates the need to manually snap and upload screenshots.
  • Text as Textarea: Display a CCK text field as a form element, with selectable, copyable text. Useful for displaying bits of text users will want to copy into another window, like CSS snippets or YouTube embed codes.
  • AudioField as flash player: render Audio Fields as embedded flash players, rather than textual links.
  • Node Reference NID: By default, Node Reference fields can be populated by hand using [nid]: 1 notation. This formatter makes it simpler, allowing 'raw' entry of a nid without any additional text. It's useful when nids are being passed around as 'picture codes' and so on.

If you have an interesting "novelty" CCK formatter or widget, feel free to post in the issue queue.
