(Tips) Programatically creating a CCK field in Drupal 6

Tips : Programatically creating a CCK field in Drupal 6

The first step is to create the field using CCK's UI. Once you've got the field setup the way you'd like it use PHP's var_export() to dump the contents of the node's field as an array:

var_export(content_fields('field_translator_note', 'feature'));

That'll give you some massive array definition that you can copy and paste into your code.

<?php
$field = array (
  'field_name' => 'field_translator_note',
  'type_name' => 'feature',
  'display_settings' =>
  array (
    4 =>
    array (
      'format' => 'hidden',
    ),
    2 =>
    array (
      'format' => 'hidden',
    ),
    3 =>
    array (
      'format' => 'hidden',
    ),
    'label' =>
    array (
      'format' => 'hidden',
    ),
    'teaser' =>
    array (
      'format' => 'hidden',
    ),
    'full' =>
    array (
      'format' => 'hidden',
    ),..............................Continue..
