Drupal 6 Content Construction Kit (CCK)

It is likely that at some stage, you will want to upgrade at least some content from plain text to something that looks a little out of the ordinary. In this article we will have a look at the CCK module provided by Drupal which is used to build custom content types that can be tailored to suit your needs. In effect, it gives you control over which fields are presented to a user whenever they post content using custom content types. The term field refers to a given piece of content within a node. Conversely, a node is a collection of fields.
