   3  Content Construction Kit
   4  ------------------------
   5  
   6  NOTE: Install the advanced_help module (http://drupal.org/project/advanced_help)
   7  to access more help (writing still in progress...)
   8  
   9  To install, place the entire CCK folder into your modules directory.
  10  Go to Administer -> Site building -> Modules and enable the Content module and one or
  11  more field type modules:
  12  
  13  - text.module
  14  - number.module
  15  - userreference.module
  16  - nodereference.module
  17  
  18  Now go to Administer -> Content management -> Content types. Create a new
  19  content type and edit it to add some fields. Then test by creating
  20  a new node of your new type using the Create content menu link.
  21  
  22  The included optionswidget.module provides radio and check box selectors
  23  for the various field types.
  24  
  25  The included fieldgroup.module allows you to group fields together
  26  in fieldsets to help organize them.
  27  
  28  A comprehensive guide to using CCK is available as a CCK Handbook
  29  at http://drupal.org/node/101723.

  31  Known incompatibilitie
  32  ----------------------
  33  
  34  The Devel Themer module that ships with Devel is known to mess with CCK admin pages.
  35  As a general rule, Devel Themer should only be switched on intermittently when doing
  36  theme work on a specific page, and switched off immediately after that, for it adds
  37  massive processing overhead.
