Assuming /node/add/B?mainnode=5, something like this should work.<br>
<br>
function B_form(&$node, &$params) {<br>
$mainnode = $_GET['mainnode'];<br>
// make sure it's a valid node for the purpose<br>
if (nid_passes_the_test($mainnode) {<br>
$node->mainnode = $mainnode;<br>
}<br>
else {<br>
// yell at them for making an error<br>
}<br>
...<br>
}<br>

Earl,<br> I tought about that...<br><br> I have a
?q=node/add/B/5 and I changed the hook_form to function
B_form(&$node, &$param, $nidA = 0) But I don't get the desired
result... The page at drupaldocs <a href="http://drupaldocs.org/api/4.6/function/page_example_menu" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://drupaldocs.org/api/4.6/function/page_example_menu</a>
says that the 'extra' parameters will be passed as arguments to the
function, but it seems that those don't get to the hook_form function.
Is there any way to create a custom function and re-create the form as
the node/add/B would do? That way I could create the form and it would
work transparently to the user...
<br> Also, is it that the desired hook_form behavior? Have I found a bug? :-)<br><br>Thanks for the help...<div><span class="e" id="q_10799c3a980b7466_1"><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/16/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">

subordinate node typoes. How about using a query string to specify the
parent, like<br>
<br>
node/add/B?mainnode=(nid of A)<br>
<br>
or maybe<br>
<br>
node/add/B/(nid of A)<br>
<br>Populate the new field in hook_form(). You can even choose to show an input control for the field if it's not specified<div><span><br>

Hello, folks,<br> I'm in need of a little help...<br> I have a module with 3 types of node. Node A, B and C.<br>
I am trying to do something like A is the main node and B & C
references A. So that, when I show the node A (teaser or full node), I
get some informations about nodes type B and C that makes reference to
A.
<br> Also, I want to node types B and C have a reference to the parent (A).<br>
When the user inserts the data, it must be transparent to him as who
the parent is (like there is a link on node type A that allows the user
to create type B or C and the node creation page will not ask the user
who the parent is). The only creation method shoud be like this for
nodes B and C (there should not have a link on the node creation list.
Just for type A)
<br><br> I took a look at the project module, but I couldn't get much out of it...<br> Any help is appreciated...<br><br>Thanks,<br>- Luis Sergio Moura<br>
