How to create a content type in a module
You know how to create a module and know that it's easier to add a content type in Drupal and add fields with CCK.
Needed hooks:
* hook_node_info()
* hook_perm()
* hook_access()
* hook_form() Needed if you have additional fields:
* hook_insert()
* hook_update()
* hook_delete()
* hook_validate()
* hook_nodeapi()
* hook_view()
* hook_load()Implementation of hooks:
<?php
/**
* Implementation of hook_info
*
**/
function siteanalyzer_node_info() {
return array(
'siteanalyzer' => array(
'name' => t('site analyse'),
'module' => 'siteanalyzer',
'description' => "Site analyze node.",
)
);
}
/**
* Implementation of hook_perm
*
**/
function siteanalyzer_perm() {
return array('administer siteanalyzer',
'access siteanalyzer',
'create siteanalyzer',
'edit own siteanalyzer');
}
/**
* Implementation of hook_access
*
**/
function siteanalyzer_access($op, $node, $account) {
if ($op == 'create') {
// Only users with permission to do so may create this node type.
return user_access('create siteanalyzer', $account);
}
// Users who create a node may edit or delete it later, assuming they have the
// necessary permissions.
if ($op == 'update' || $op == 'delete') {
if (user_access('edit own siteanalyzer', $account) && ($account->uid == $node->uid)) {
return TRUE;
}
}
}
/**
* Implementation of hook_form
* Note: The extra fields need the other hooks to be saved, edited and deleted.
**/
function siteanalyzer_form(&$node, $form_state) {
$type = node_get_types('type', $node);
$form['title'] = array(
'#type'=> 'textfield',
'#title' => check_plain($type->title_label),
'#required' => TRUE,
);
$form['body'] = array(
'#type' => 'textarea',
'#title' => check_plain($type->body_label),
'#rows' => 20,
'#required' => TRUE,
);
$form['analyze_path'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Path'),
'#default_value' => $node->analyze_path,
'#maxlength' => 255,
);
$form['site_pages'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Site pages'),
'#default_value' => $node->site_pages,
'#maxlength' => 10,
);
$form['external_links'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('External linnks'),
'#default_value' => $node->external_links,
'#maxlength' => 10,
);
return $form;
}
?>
