Re: [Gmod-tripal] Adding Content to Tripal Templates

[Stephen F. <FI...@cl...>]

Hi Lacey,

This can be done easily using the CCK module (Content Construction Kit).  You can download it from here: http://drupal.org/project/cck

After you enable the module you can add new fields to the Organism page by clicking 'Administer' -> 'Content Management' -> 'Content Types'.

You'll then see the list of all content types, one of which is 'Organism' of type 'chado_organism'.  Click 'Manage Fields'.  You can then add a brand new field, for example 'Morphology'.  You'll tell it what kind of field it is and set some parameters for it.  You can even drag it higher or lower in the field list to place where you want it to show up.  If you place it directly under 'Menu Settings' then your new content should appear just under the organism description.  Finally, go to your organism and edit it. You'll see your new field.  Add content and save it and you should see it on the page.  All of these new fields will be stored in Drupal as opposed to Chado. 

Good question. This is information we should add to the User's Guide.

Stephen

Subject: [Gmod-tripal] Adding Content to Tripal Templates

Hi,

I am trying to add content/fields such as s cultivation, taxonomy,  
morphology, etc. to the organism pages. I would like to store the data  
for these fields in drupal rather than chado in order to not customize  
the chado schema. However, I am Really new to drupal and have no idea  
how to add/edit fields which can then be accessed using $variable in  
the tripal templates. If someone could point me in the right direction  
as to how to do this, that would be Great!

Thanks,
Lacey
