DRUPAL: combine CCK image and videos in a common ordered list. Possible?

I'm workin开发者_运维知识库g on multiple videos and images page on Drupal.

I would like to know if I can combine Video and Image CCK fields in back-end content type pages, in order to assign them a common mixed order, when I have multiple images and videos.

ps. I don't want to create a node for each image/video, I prefer to use the CCK fields, since it is easier for my customer to manage the files, change the order and delete them.

thanks

I suppose you can set a generic field type, use filefield module, and in the 'allowed filetypes' setting enter all image and video filetypes (png jpg gif avi flv etc), then also set 'unlimited' for the quantity allowed.

That said, maybe you need to explain your question or situation further, maybe provide a more detailed use case. Everyone seems confused about your question, and your basic structural plan may be flawed.

Usually you want to keep these things in separate fields, then use different views to pull exactly what you want. View1 would pull videos from the video field of the content type, View2 would pull images from the image field of the content type, View3 would pull videos and images, etc. When they are all mixed into one field you have to do extra parsing on the end to get what you want out, and that's more difficult.

But I don't think we understand what you are asking, an example case may help us help you.

If you're just asking if you can have image fields and video fields on the same content type, then the answer is yes.

That said, I have no idea what you mean by "a common mixed order."

You could look at using Views. http://drupal.org/project/views

Set it up to display Nodes and then add in all the fields you want, you can then set the style to be Ordered List. This should give you something similar to what your trying to achieve.
