 */

Think twice when defining a new content type

Think twice when defining a new content type

http://drupal.org/project/conditional_fields

This project allows you to have conditional fields.
Example : we have a content type bus and tram with only two fields difference. The type gearbox for a bus and the type of controller for a tram. All the 10 other fields are just the same. You dont want a new content type for that. You need a conditional field.
So create content type vehicle and have vehicle type field, now set the other fields like gearbox - controller conditional to this one. I also works with fieldsets.

Drupal how to render seperate fieldgroups from a content type (and a display suite trick)

A cck fieldgroup can be rendered alone. We had some quicktabs we wanted to fill with our field groups. So we've builded a block for each field group to put in the quicktabs. Here is an example of one block where we called a single fieldgroup and rendered it.

Drupal how to load content fields using cck content api avoiding node load

How to load only the content fields of a node to avoid a full node load?

Sometimes in scripts you need information stored in cck fields but you dont want to do full node loads neither do you want to query the table directly because setting a field from single to multiple value would make the table location of that field change.

Drupal how to disable a form element in a cck form using form alter

The standard way of altering form elements and setting them disabled does not work with cck fields.

<?php
function my_module_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  $form['my_element']['#disabled'] = true; 
}
?>

The FAPI process handler of the CCK field won't transfer the #disabled attribute to its children elements.
You'll need this snippet to make it work.
<?php
/**?>
