Recipe 27: Displaying Guitar Chords

Note

Ingredients

Content module: http://drupal.org/project/cck

Guitar module: http://drupal.org/project/guitar

Field formatters—such as the link formatters used in the two previous recipes—are available for a wide variety of modules. Musicians may be glad to know of a field formatter in Drupal that generates guitar chord diagrams.

1. Ensure that the CCK Content module is enabled in admin/build/modules.

2. Enable the Guitar Chord Diagram Generator and Guitar CCK Field modules that come with Guitar. You may also choose to enable the Guitar input filter.

3. Create a new Chord content type at admin/content/types/add, and add a field called chord at admin/content/types/chord/add_field.

4. Populate the content type at node/add/chord. The Chord Name may match the Node Title.

   

   Notice that the Notes field calls for a comma-separated list of numbers indicating the pressed frets on the guitar.

5. Create a View at admin/build/views/add.
