I have a fresh installation of Drupal 6.13 on xampp with only the CCK module installed. When going to http://localhost/drupal/admin/content/node-type/[contenttypename] i should see an add field button correct? For some reason, it's not there (edit, manage fields and list fields are in place), this happens on both my windows and on my Linux PC. Is there some conflict between Drupal and xampp that i'm not aware of?

In the "Manage fields" screen, you should be able to see options to add fields at the bottom of the table. If you cannot see them, make sure you have installed modules that provide fields, or maybe it is a theme issue. Just in case, try with garland.

I do see that but i understood that there should also be an add field button to the right of the display fields button where new types of fields can be created? e.g. a date field

Not in CCK for D6. Here you just fill in a field name, a label, select the widget type and then drop that row to wherever you need it on the node form, which is above these "Add foo" things. Changes will be saved when the "Manage fields" form is submitted.

Ah, i see. I've been following old information then. I wish someone had told me that sooner.
Thank you very much :-)
I guess this issue can be closed now.
