notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$format in drupal-6.x-dev\modules\node\node.module on line 1037.
when node does not have a body field then the node preview shows a PHP notice
repro:
1. clean install
2. admin/content/node-type/page clear the "Body field label" and save
3. node/add/page fill Title with anything and click preview

Any word on this?

Hi,
After making some researches and diving inside Drupal code, I got some ideas about what is happening there:
1- admin/content/node-type/page : clear the "Body field label" and save
2- node/add/page : "Input format" fieldset removed automatically, because it has nothing to do in case of "Body" field not there.
3- "Input format" fieldset contains 2 radio buttons (the name of radio group is "format").
4- When you click "Preview", actually the form is submitted, so the form values should be stored inside
$form_state['values']variable as array.5-
$formand$form_statevariables are passed tonode_form_build_previewfunction (in node.pages.inc), which passes them tonode_form_submit_build_nodefunction to build$nodeobject, which passes them tonode_submitfunction (defined in node.module), at this point exactly$nodeobject is built and created with properties, according to those posted by the form, so it may or may not contain the "format" property.6- After that,
$nodeobject is passed to series of functions, till it reaches "node_view" function (in node.module), where the error is happening due to line 1037:<?php$node->body = check_markup($node->body, $node->format, FALSE);
?>
where the
$node->formatdoes not exist.Note: This is not happening in case of viewing the content type after submission, because
$nodeobject is loaded with "format" property by default.Currently I have 3 suggestions
1- In case that there's no "Body field", Drupal should keep the "Input format" fieldset with its radio buttons.
2- Building
$nodeobject in a way that it always contains "format" property.3- Preventing the submission of content type without "Body field" :)
If anyone of these suggestions, or even any other suggestions, is OK, I want to make the patch myself, if it is OK with you guys :)

1. no - I don't need a format when I do not need the body
2. yes
3. no - I need a content type without body

Hi,
Sorry for being late I just want to be sure that there are no new suggestions or comments.
Please take care that I added a new part in bold to my first comment.
So here is the patch and thanks for your patience.

Can confirm this, this is also present in D7, so changing version. Patch in #4 fixes D6 branch, attached in #5 is for drupal head.
#6
Thanks swentel for your attention. :)
#7
Chasing HEAD
#8
Tagging & bumping.
#9
A new argument for my "put body and format in a same element".
Format is an integer, this should be
$node->format = 0;.#10
#11
Looks good the input format changes will likely change how this works anyway (and with tests), so RTBC.

Committed, thanks!
Moving down to 6.x.
#13
Thanks, committed to Drupal 6 as well.
