I am trying to create a form that allows a user to see multiple existing nodes and modify them. Forms are easy enough to create, but I want the form to be able to display existing nodes, and allow the user to make changes to them.

Hi laststraw,

Do you have your module code you can post?

I'm guessing you'll need to use node_load() to fill in the form and then a combination of node_load and node_save in a submit handler.

Module code would really help though

Do you want a full display of all the existing nodes, with all of them editable at once? You're going to want to use Views to get and display the list of forms, I think.

Or, do you want a listing of the summary of the nodes, with an "edit" link for each item on the list? You can use EntityAPI to automatically set up a management page for editing (and creating, and deleting, if you want). See http://drupal.org/node/1021576 for simple directions on how to set that up.

Load node form to the panel with "node id" argument. Then you can edit node form without develop custom forms.
1. Create a panel page with path node/%node/....
2. Set argument - node id
3. Set relationship on context page "Node edit form from node"
4. Go to the content tab and add form edit form

Then check your path.
