Ok, update.

I found that if I go into the node, click edit, and save, it updates the field with the calculated value. I have like 400 nodes… is there an automatic way to do this? And also, if I make any change to the formula, none of the fields will automatically update? Is that correct?

Hi, my field is just not computing… I’ve tried running the cron, and using different settings configurations. I’m not sure what the problem is. Online resources are quite sparse, but your comment section seems helpful..

I have two integer fields, and i want to multiply and add them to get CO2 saved:

$node_field[0]['value'] = $node->field_natgas_saved[0]['value'] * 123.248 + $node->field_kwh_saved[0]['value'] * 1.038;

I have it to show as a float 10,2 with not null & sortable both checked.

But the value only shows the default 0. Any ideas?

The closest thing I've seen to CCK for WordPress is Flutter - I wrote a post about it recently.

@solson I switched because Drupal wasn’t the right tool for the job. I just need blogging, and while Drupal can do that, I was spending a fair amount of time fine tuning Drupal to make it behave like WordPress. Decided to just use WordPress for straight blogging. I still use Drupal for dozens of websites – it’s by far the best tool for that job. But for straight blogging, WordPress is the right tool…

Why did you switch to WordPress?

@eep2: yeah. and it’ll likely stay that way – I switched from Drupal to WordPress several months ago, so had to dump that functionality because WordPress can’t do it (in the same way).

Off topic, but I think you'd be interested in knowing (if you don't subscribe to his feed already) that Michael Geist has started a wiki on DRM and copyright issues in Canada: http://www.michaelgeist.ca/wiki/

*Sigh*, I keep on finding stuff to learn about Views! Any chance you could post the code? I want to do something similar but with totalling financial transactions.
