Question: 

Hey there,

I am in desperate need of an "audio module-type solution for drupal 6... does anybody know if there is something pretty straight forward or must i go with drupal 5?

I would like to create a site for musicians and dj's to post music on their profiles, audio module is exactly right for me but in drupal 6 the audio players don't show... and that sucks! help!!!

thanks ;)

1. I would give the unstable

I would give the unstable http://drupal.org/project/audio a try. This is no time to start a Drupal 5 site, go with Drupal 6. Perhaps it's more stable than you think.

2. What I did...

Hey Dorien!

Thank you so so so much for your reply - the audio module is really unstable in the sense that the audio doesn't play!

But I eventually went with SWF Tools + Filefield Upload and it has seemed to work out alright.

Thanks so much, look forward to putting the sight up as a showcase the minute it is done!

5. CCK field theming

CCK field theming 101

Because, if you are like the rest of us, you are creating your own content types and fields using the CCK module web site design. The theme_form_element override does not affect any of your custom-created CCK fields. A little digging and we figured this one out.

The key revelation was the discovery that the CCK module comes packaged with its own theme folder internet marketing. Who knew? Inside this folder is a file named content-field.tpl.php This file produces the HTML output for CCK fields-- in much the same way that your custom theme's node.tpl.php produces the HTML for your nodes and page.tpl.php produces the HTML for your pages.

To override the default output of this template file, leave the content-content-field.tpl.php field in the CCK module's theme folder, but also put a copy of this file into your custom theme's folder internet phone, in the same directory with your other template files. Keep the content-field.tpl.php filename the same to allow the override. If your CCK module files are not accessible to you (for example in a multi-site managed hosting environment), you can accomplish the same goal simply by downloading a copy of the CCK module from its project page: http://www.drupal.org/project/cck. I've also attached a copy of the most recent version of this file (as of 3/17/09) to this tip.
