OK, so there is no doubt, I am new to this, so please bear with me. I have jsut installed drupal 5.x and CCK and Views, etc. All is enabled and working well....
I have a Db with an existing table (pre drupal) that has data in it (and there are other tables that reference this, but that's step 2...). I want to create a detail master list, etc. with the data, but where I am stuck is
1.) should i import all the data as a node so i can use the features (comments, ratings, that appear to all be node based), and how best could i do this (remember, already exists in a table in the Db)...?
2.) i don't fully understand "cck" and "views" and their ability to display this data.... is there someplace that i could be pointed to with better documentation than the "handbook"? for instance...
a.) if i imported the data above as a new node, and each node was a restaurant as an example, i would create a new content type of "restaurant"?
b.) how would i associate the appropriate fields with it and then display them when someone looks at that node page for the restaurant...?
another example is wine.... i have wine broken down in a hierarchical way; winery, wine and vintage. one winery can have multiple wines and each wine can have multiple vintages.... in cck each would be a content type with it's associated fields, but how to define the fields and then display :-)....
