I don't have a DIFF here, but here it goes... I tweaked the node.module a bit (4.6.3) so the I could make the /node/add/<type>/<parameter> works and I get the desires result... This need to be tweaked further so that more parameters can be added... function node_page() { (...) case 'add': print theme('page', node_add(arg(2), arg(3))); break; (...) function node_add($type, $_extra = 0) { (...) } $output = node_form($node, $_extra); drupal_set_title(t('Submit %name', array('%name' => node_invoke($node, 'node_name')))); (...) function node_form($edit, $_extra = 0) { (...) if (function_exists($function)) { if ($_extra) $form .= $function($edit, $param, $_extra); else $form .= $function($edit, $param); } (...) function B_form(&$node, &$param, $nidA = 0) That does the trick... But as I don't think that this is the desired function of node.module, I will try and write my code another way so that it stays compatible with the official version... Altough I get no warnings with the above changes (so far). Back to the module coding now... Thanks all - Sergio On 11/16/05, Sergio <lsmoura@gmail.com> wrote:
Earl, I tought about that...
I have a ?q=node/add/B/5 and I changed the hook_form to function B_form(&$node, &$param, $nidA = 0) But I don't get the desired result... The page at drupaldocs http://drupaldocs.org/api/4.6/function/page_example_menu 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... Also, is it that the desired hook_form behavior? Have I found a bug? :-)
Thanks for the help...

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

Hello, folks, I'm in need of a little help... I have a module with 3 types of node. Node A, B and C. 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. Also, I want to node types B and C have a reference to the parent (A). 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)
I took a look at the project module, but I couldn't get much out of it... Any help is appreciated...
Thanks, - Luis Sergio Moura
