Ever wanted to create nodes on the fly? This module provides functionality to do this.
With this module you can write code like this to produce a node.
<?php
// my_nodetype must be an existing nodetype
$edit = node_factory_create_node( 'my_nodetype');
node_factory_set_value( $edit, 'title', 'my value');
node_factory_set_value( $edit, 'field_node_ref', 123);
node_factory_set_value( $edit 'uid', 321);
node_factory_save_node( $edit);
?>Setting taxonomy? Then know the term IDs!
<?php
$edit['taxonomy'][] = 9; // tid
?>or know the category ID when free tagging is allowed
<?php
$edit['taxonomy']['tags'][$vid]= 'a,b,c';
?>node_factory knows a few CCK fields:
- node_ref (select)
- select box (text, int)
- radio (text, int)
- checkbox (text, int)
Setting other cck fields?
<?php
node_factory_set_cck_value( $edit, 'field_node_ref_auto_single', array( array( 'nid' => 47)));
node_factory_set_cck_value( $edit, 'field_node_ref_select_single', array( 'nids' => 47));
node_factory_set_cck_value( $edit, 'field_radio', array( 'key' => 'A'));
node_factory_set_cck_value( $edit, 'field_checkbox', array( 'keys' => array( 'A' => 'A', 'B' => 'B')));
?>Doing commandline insert? Only in 5.x-1.x-dev
drush nf create json 'json-string'Do it yourself?
- Install the devel module
- Look on the Dev load page when viewing the node
- Now you see all field names.
Want to debug/help?
You can test yourself with http://drupal.org/project/prepopulate for finding out what parameter you need to fill in a form value. That structure can then be used with node_factory_set_cck_value.
- Install devel.module
- Uncomment the
function node_factory_nodeapiin node_factory.module - Create a specific on field cck node
- Add a new node by hand
- Then try it by the devel php code block!
- Submit a feature request with your cck type attached and your code line solution
Thanks.
