CCK Allowed Values List, PHP code and hook_content_allowed_values_alter()

Posted by matason on Saturday, 2 January, 2010 - 10:31

For discussion on the future of version control for the Drupal project see http://drupal.org/node/289117 - Why is Drupal still using CVS and how can I help change that?
