CCK: Default Value for a Node Reference Field
Hello,
I have some problems with setting a default value for a CCK field;
- I have a content type named "Part"
- This content type has a CCK field named "Manufacturer" which its data should refer to another node of type "manufacturer".
- I want to use a PHP snippet to set the default value for this field. I use this snippet:
first I tried to return the node id but it didn't work, field remains empty:
return array(0 => array('value' => 19));
then i tried to return the node alias:
return array(0 => array('value' => 'wheel'));
it didn't work either.
Do you have any idea how can I set a default value for a "Node Reference" field?
Note that i can set a default value for a simple text field or such, but same way doesn't work for Node References.
Thank you in advance.
Only a year late, but here is solution.
This is what worked for me with drupal 5.x and cck 5.x-1.7.
return array(0 => array('nid' => 13 ));Only difference is that I have 'nid' instead of 'value'.
Responding in hopes of helping someone else.
replacing 'value' with 'nid'
replacing 'value' with 'nid' doesn't seem to work either.
So how do I figure out the key name?
'value', 'nid', whatever?
and why 0=> .... ???
Maybe it's me, but this is feeling like a complicated thing that ought to be simple.
