Drupal – “Content (missing)”

with 24 comments

I’ve started playing with Drupal and looking at moving a few sites over to it. In a late night session of bolting things together I ran into a bit of a snag with a few modules trying to create thumbnails on teaser articles.

Unfortunately when I installed the imagefield CCK module I ran into a snag where it wouldn’t allow me to continue without the ‘content’ module which was missing.

I attempted to search for this missing module in the drupal module downloads section with no luck… http://drupal.org/search/node/type%3Aproject_project+content gave me no joy at all.

Luckily, the a nice Drupal IRC user slapped me with a quick ‘CCK = content’ line after I pleaded where this magical ‘Content’ module is and of course after I installed the CCK module everything worked like a charm. I had thought I had already installed this module and was probably too tired to have checked this first…

So for any newbie Drupal users out there I hope you find this helpful tip on Google before you harass some poor sod on IRC… that way you might actually appear somewhat knowledgeable.

    You saved my day! I was doing the same thing you did–looking for the elusive “content” module, only to find your post. Thanks so much.

    Thank you!! I have spent about six hours (worryingly) trying to find this blessed module! A life-saver!!!

    Wow, thank you! It seems with Drupal, i'm spending a lot of time researching broken modules other people wrote… but most of the work is done, so to me it's still work the trouble. This one would have thrown me for a loop, since searching for the word “content” isn't very helpful with “content” appearing in nearly every page on the internet.

    I think the drupal software is amazing but sometimes it can give me a headache from the hassle it gives me.

  • Ryan

    I'm confused.

    I installed CCK. Then I got the error “Content (missing).”

    How can CCK be missing if I've installed it?
