DrupalEasy Podcast 73: Lots of Options
Posted Tuesday, January 31 at 3:28 pm
  Thomas Turnbull (tom_o_t on drupal.org) and Alan Palazzolo (zzolo on drupal.org) join Mike Anello to talk about their new book from O’Reilly Media, Mapping with Drupal. Mike’s usual co-hosts, Andrew and Ryan, were both unable to participate in the podcast, leaving Thomas and Alan subject to Mike’s long-winded (but extremely interesting by some accounts) questions.

CCK Field Type for Phone Numbers

Submitted by ultimike on Wed, 07/22/2009 - 14:10

This is going to be a really quick QuickTip today - if you've ever added a generic text field to a CCK content type to contain a phone number - stop it.

The super-simple Phone module provides a bunch of country-specific phone number field types. It automatically formats the numbers for display (you choose the separate and/or the area code delimiter) as well as validates the number (for several different countries). It even has iPhone support: if the page containing the phone number is being displayed by an iPhone, the module will automatically turn it into a link that can be tapped to dial the number on an iPhone. Sweet.

What about an international user-base?

I'm thinking surely you don't want to add every country available as separate fields. That will be one big form...

Is there not a way of having one field that says, if it meets at least one of these validators, then it a phone number? Or at least a type that can accept a phone number but at least checks that it contains only numbers?
