Description
I am resubmitting this issue for version 5x of the content module (this was already noticed in 4.7 and has still not been officially addressed-- although there is a patch-- can the maintainer please review this patch, update it to 5x, and make it official). I think the maintainers of CCK and contemplate will need to get together on this one.
What happens:
The contemplate works great with a standard page that is not including links or content added by other modules. However, if the book module needs to add book navigation, the organic groups module needs to add group content, premium needs to modify how the body or teaser is viewed, nodevote needs to add voting results, location needs to add location links (like "add another location," very important), then contemplate causes big headaches. All of these additions get lost when using contemplate... Simply adding a reference to node links doesn't get the module additions back into the template.
The sad thing is that there appears to be a working patch for 4.7 (affecting both the content module and contemplate module) that should get added and then updated for 5.2. My problem is that I'm now running 5.2 and I was not successful in updating the patch on my own. Please see the patch here and help get this change working with contemplate and the content module: http://drupal.org/node/93935
Sure custom theming and the contentemplate module may not seem like critical issues for the CCK project, but when the purpose of CCK is to make adding custom content easier and more user friendly, the ability to easily theme this content seems quite crucial (thinking about who makes up the target audience/ users of these modules). Just my two cents. Thanks for any help on this!

KarenS CreditAttribution: KarenS commentedThere is nothing in the D7 version of CCK except the code to migrate the fields to use the new core fields. I don't see how this is anything CCK can do in D7. Plus I'm not sure there is a D7 version of Contemplate. The project page has a note that it may be deprecated.
Getting CCK to work with a third party module is not a critical bug and may not even have anything to do with CCK at all. I don't know what Contemplate is doing and I don't use it so and no one else has jumped in on this issue which indicates to me that there is no one else very concerned about it.
So the only thing it can be is a D6 issue, but I don't know that this is going to get addressed there, either.
Also there is no patch here, certainly not one that would work in D6, so clarifying the title.
