    <p>In Drupal 6, I have created a simple Pricing CCK compound field module with a "cost" and a "product" sub-field based on this excellent tutorial: <a href="http://www.poplarware.com/articles/cck_field_module" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.poplarware.com/articles/cck_field_module</a></p> <pre><code>function usginpricing_field_settings($op, $field) { switch ($op) { case 'database columns': $columns['cost'] = array('type' =&gt; 'varchar', 'length' =&gt; 255, 'not null' =&gt; FALSE, 'sortable' =&gt; TRUE, 'default' =&gt; '', 'views' =&gt; TRUE); $columns['product'] = array('type' =&gt; 'varchar', 'length' =&gt; 1000, 'not null' =&gt; FALSE, 'sortable' =&gt; TRUE, 'default' =&gt; '', 'views' =&gt; TRUE); return $columns; } } </code></pre> <p>I can retrieve the compound values in Views but how can I pull out the individual sub-fields? So far, I only know where to modify the response (CCK hook_field() implementation - <code>case 'views data':</code>) for Views but am otherwise stumped:</p> <pre><code>function usginpricing_field($op, &amp;$node, $field, &amp;$items, $teaser, $page) { switch ($op) { // Do validation on the field values here. The widget // will do its own validation and you cannot make any // assumptions about what kind of widget has been used, // so don't validate widget values, only field values. case 'validate': if (is_array($items)) { foreach ($items as $delta =&gt; $item) { if ($item['cost'] != '' &amp;&amp; !is_numeric(trim($item['cost']))) { form_set_error($field['field_name'],t('"%name" is not a valid numeric value',array('%name' =&gt; $item['cost']))); } } } break; case 'sanitize': foreach ($items as $delta =&gt; $item) { foreach ($item as $col =&gt; $dat) { $items[$delta]['safe_' . $col ] = check_plain($item[ $col ]); } } break; // Optional: Make changes to the default $data array // created for Views. Omit this if no changes are // needed, use it to add a custom handler or make // other changes. case 'views data': // UNFINISHED // Start with the $data created by CCK // and alter it as needed. The following // code illustrates how you would retrieve // the necessary data. $data = content_views_field_views_data($field); $db_info = content_database_info($field); $table_alias = content_views_tablename($field); $field_data = $data[$table_alias][$field['field_name'] .'_value']; // Make changes to $data as needed here. return $data; } } </code></pre> <p>I'd appreciate any advice or sample code! </p>

    1. COI suggest you try CCK's 6.x-3.x-dev branch. I realize it's not officially stable, but contrary to the article, I have found it completely stable and it has worked for my needs.

    2. COI afraid that CCK 3 may break a lot of CCK and Views sub-modules I am dependent on.

    3. CO@wgrunberg, have you ever figured it out? I have exactly the same problem, and I also cannot go to CCK 3 without breaking a complex site. Thanks for any hint...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
