hook_nodeapi using op load or prepare. Alternatively you could use my module <a href="http://drupal.org/project/custom_pub">http://drupal.org/project/custom_pub</a> but it doesn&#39;t have a per node_type customization at the moment. But if nothing else the code will show you how I accomplished it.<br clear="all">

    Still unclear on this...not for lack of searching.  If I add a field
    to node_type_form with hook_form_alter, how do I access that field&#39;s
    contents when NOT on the content type page? For example, if as a
    result of hook_form_alter my content type form shows the following:<br>
    <br>
    <span style="border-collapse:separate;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:&#39;Times New Roman&#39;;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-size:medium"><span style="color:rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:&#39;Lucida Grande&#39;,&#39;Lucida Sans Unicode&#39;,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:20px"><label style="display:block;font-weight:bold;margin:0px;padding:0px;border-width:0px;vertical-align:baseline">Default options</label>
        <div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border-width:0px;vertical-align:baseline">
          <div style="margin:0px;padding:5px 0px;border-width:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><input name="node_options[status]" value="status" checked style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border-width:0px;vertical-align:middle;font-family:&#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif" type="checkbox"><span> </span><label style="display:inline;font-weight:normal;margin:0px;padding:0px;border-width:0px;vertical-align:baseline;text-transform:none;font-size:0.923em">Published</label></div>

        </div>
      </span></span>The setting for My options shows up every time I
    edit the content type, but how do I access it when content is being
    created for that content type?
