I want to let user submit several nodes, but will do it one by one, then after user finish to submit the first one, he will see a button which call' next one', then he can click the button to start to submit the next one.
Is there any module which I can use to do this ?? or any simple way I can do this ?
thanks

hook_nodeapi and drupal_set_message
Where do you want to show that button? After submission, users get see their new node. If you would redirect them to another page with a 'next one' button, they do not get the feedback of seeing their new node. I think the best solution would be to display a 'next one' link in the messages area, so your users get both the feedback and the option to add another one.
I would do it like this:
- Create a new module (if you never did that before, I heard this will help: http://drupal.org/project/module_builder)
- Implement hook_nodeapi in your new module (see also http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_fnodeapi/6). Your code would look something like this:
<?phpfunction MODULENAME_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $a3 = NULL, $a4 = NULL) {
switch ($op) {
case 'insert':
if($node->type == 'story'){
drupal_set_message(t('Your node has been created.') . ' ' . l(t('Next one'), 'node/add/story'));
}
break;
}
}
?>
In this code, replace MODULENAME with the name of your module and replace story with the content type you want to apply this to.

I didn't see Nevets' reply yet at the moment of posting... that's a nice approach as well, i didn't know that module :-)
