[support] Saving a node programmatically

[Jason Flatt]

I figured out what was causing my problem, and it was these two lines:

  global $language;
  $node->language = ($language) ? $language->language  : LANGUAGE_NONE;

Apparently, if $node->language is not set to LANGUAGE_NONE, then not all data
for the node gets saved.  I tried it with Locale enabled, with Locale and
Content translation enabled, and with both of them disabled.  The behavior is
the same in all three cases.


So, I'm wondering if there is a "more correct" way of doing this.  I want to be
able to give people the option of sending messages in different languages and
archive them as nodes in the language they were sent in.  Unfortunately, based
on what I've read on a.d.o, I'm not clear on how to do this.
