Data dictionary for Drupal content types

Submitted by vkareh on November 18, 2008 - 10:38

This Drupal module displays your CCK content type fields along with their descriptions in a dictionary-like fashion. It also allows certain users to edit those descriptions.

What is the purpose, you say? Well, I created a website for medical data entry. The information gathered in the website is used for researching the outcomes of patients that suffer from very specific heart conditions. This type of research is very thorough, so the participant nurses are required to fill out forms for each patient undergoing a certain procedure. These forms are quite long, in the range of 300 fields, separated across multiple pages.

First post!

I've been a Drupal developer for well over a year now. Up to now, I didn't really give much thought to the fact that I've developed countless modules for it, and modified some others.

I'm a Free Software advocate, so it stands to good behavior that I should release my contributions to the world in the same way that the world provides good code for me. There's a reason why I haven't released any modules yet, and that would be that the modules I create are mostly heavily customized for my clients' applications, so it's not like I can just publish stuff that wouldn't make sense to anyone else but my clients.

Still, that's not good enough of a reason, so I proposed to myself to make every module, where practical, as generic as possible so that the world can benefit from it.
