I do agree the problem for creating nodes programmatically arise often. I hope some CCK experts join the issue queue On Tue, 2008-04-01 at 12:45 -0600, Kyle Mathews wrote:
Node_factory is a great idea for a module as this problem, creating nodes programatically, seems to come up all the time. It'd be great if best practices could be put into node_factory. I used it recently to create a custom module using workflow_ng and node_factory to auto create nodes and it worked great.

I'm trying to build this module http://drupal.org/project/node_factory which seems to be not trivial.
It work fine with simple node types without cck or Access Control modules like og.
With the discussion mentioned by Ezra B. Gildesgame and some love from some developers I hope to make the module better.

Is there a (programmatic?) way to add a node *without* using node/add/something and still gain access to hook_validate(), hook_insert(), hook_update(), and hook_delete()? I'm trying something like this but hook_validate does not seem to fire...
function property_menu($may_cache) { $items=array(); // Do not cache this menu item during the development of this module. if (!$may_cache) { $items[] = array( 'title' => t('Review'), 'path' => 'property/create', 'access' => user_access('create property'), 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK, 'weight' => 1, ); } return ($items) }
function property_validate($form_id, $form_values) { //validate property number if (!preg_match('/^\d{1,4}$/',$form_values['pnum'])) { //watchdog('security',t('Bad property number entered'), WATCHDOG_WARNING); form_set_error('pnum',t('The property number does not appear to be valid. It should be 3 numbers long.')); } }
Thanks!
