Description
I currently use http://drupal.org/project/auto_nodetitle for the titles of my content types. And when I tried to use [lnid] nothing happens.
I tried the weight reduction (and increasing) for the module but it didn't help. It doesn't update the title even if I repost the content.
The only workaround that I found is to create Compute field and assign the [lnid] value to it, and then to use that field in the auto nodetitles. And even then this is not working in the first post, but I have to repost in order to update the correct title.
Is there a possibility to add that functionality - using [lnid] with auto nodetitle?

I believe you could do this as follows: 1) Create a CCK field to hold the lnid (see #313476: Problem with CCK computed field). Then, 2) in Automatic Nodetitles, look for the replacement pattern of the field you just created and used at will.

Hi,
can you please explain how to create a cck field to hold the lnid?
should I use the computed Type of data or something else to store it?
what whould be then writen in computed code text area?
thx in advance

auto_nodetitle uses the presave hook so it can generate the title before the node is saved - the lnid is not available at this time
type_local_nids uses insert / update as it needs the nid for the key in its {node_lnid}
the lnid could be generated in presave to fix this
I am available for hire if anyone wants this fixed.
