Building Content for Your Drupal Website\: Content Types\, CCK and Views
Maurice Green\, SVUGA Webmaster

 \;

Drupal comes with several content types (story\, page and blog) as part of core. Contributed modules can provide additional types such as book\, classified ad and event. For those who require more specialized content forms there is the Content Creation Kit (CCK) which allows the webmaster to build new types from a variety of field types. Up through Drupal 6.x\, CCK was a contributed module. With the upcoming Drupal 7 it will be included in core as Fields. \; Finally\, to customize the presentation of these various content types there is the Views module which creates customized SQL queries to the database to present the information in a variety of displays.
