Hi everyone,

Im banging my head a bit...

How do I get all nodes of a specific type? I dont want links, I want the actuall nodes as arrays or objects, along with all the respective data for each node.

In my little head I am thinking of something along the lines of a magic API call like: 

$nodes[ 'someTypeHere' ] = get_all_nodes( 'someTypeHere' );

Where this magic "get" function would return every node as an object or array for the passed "type"...

If such a magic API function does exist, what is its name because I cant seem to find one, and if one does not exist, does anyone know of a module which might contain the same type of functionality which I could gut for my custom mod? Or even have any working code for such a thing?

Thanks in advance,

Sopris

I fig'd it out, thanks to another post.

The user passes in a type from a previous page, I then grab all nodes for the type and return a complete CSV dump. Export made simple, sans the bells and whistles.

	$node_type = $edit[ 'type' ];
	$sql = "SELECT node.type, node.nid FROM node WHERE node.type = '$node_type' ";
	$result = db_query( $sql );
	
	$nodes = array();
	
	while ( $node = db_fetch_object( $result)) 
	{
		$nodes[] = node_load( array( 'nid' => $node->nid ));
	}

// csv code goes here
