CCK Select Other

CCK Select Other introduces an alternative select list widget that provides a user with either a select list or text input.

Instructions

1. Add a text, number, or decimal field with a "select other" widget instead of the "select" widget.
2. Setup the select options in the new "Select Options" text area just like you would in the "Allowed Values" text area in a "select" widget. You may use the "Allowed Values" text area, but this will limit all values.
   • You do not need to add the "other" value. The module will add it in itself if you do not have an "other" value. You may choose to add the other value like other|My other option.

Release status

• Drupal 7 1.0 stable released. 7.x will have future development with better Views support.
• Drupal 6 version is stable and works fine for normal use cases. There are a number of tasks related to advanced use cases such as with conditional field or flexifield.

How it works

CCK renders the form element as fieldset with multiple elements. When processed the form element is deconstructed into a simple element so that CCK will save the field properly. If validation fails the form element needs to be reconstructed as the fieldset.
