Description
On the module install page, the "addnode widget" says it requires a module called "Node_assist" but that module doesn't seem to exist. If it does, I certainly can't find it. Screenshot attached. I've taken the dependency out of the .info file and will test again.

Hi !
You should download the dev version (http://www.hyrme.com/files/addnode-beta.zip) which contains the node_assist.module. With this, the module is working quite well.

This needs to get committed and straightened out. Why is this beta outside drupal.org?

I have just downloaded the dev version, and i still cannot find the node_assist.modules. Where could this be found please? Thank you.

I realise that the 5.x.2.x-dev version doesn't have the node_assist module, but if this is to be tested, it needs to be uploaded to Drupal.org.
I personally don't install modules other then those on Drupal.org, so cannot test it until it's uploaded.

I've gone ahead and tested the addnode_beta module.
Couple things. I removed the dependency on node_assist as it doesn't exist and can't be found anywhere.
Removing it from the .info file solved that issue and allowed it to function.
I did however end up with a array_key_exists error, on line 74...
I replaced line 74 with:
if (!empty($nid) && array_key_exists($nid, $order))It fixed the issue. Seems that MANY modules suffer the array_key_exists error, so I just used the method of fixing it found from other modules and changed it for addnode.
This module is extremely useful, and I can't find any other modules with similar functionality that are better.
Good job, hopefully the array fix can be put into the official release if it ever happens.

I have also been struggling with node_assist issue. I found a download for a new version on panis's website for v2.1 that includes the node_assist module. I have installed 2.1 and it seems to be working. The one issue I found is it does not show node_assist as a dependency for addnode under the module page. However it will not work without it.
Hopefully panis will chime in on this issue, as he is the one who rewrote the module!
Panis has created a great module,, but some documentation would be greatly appreciated.

The link to this zip file is incorrect. It does not include an install file thus it does not update the database.
