Hello, a while ago I've submitted a patch to bring more consistency to node hooks, so they are inline with other drupal data hooks such as hook_user_*(), hook_file_*(). Node hooks are special, i.e. there are two kinds of node hooks: 1) hooks for modules which implement node types: hook_load(), hook_save(), etc and 2) hooks for all modules (those which implement node types and those which don't): hook_nodeapi_load(), hook_nodeapi_save(). In my opinion type #1 hooks have meaningless names, since they don't explicit say they are for extending node functionality. And type #2 hooks are very similar to hook_user_*(), hook_file_*() ones, so why they have 'nodeapi' in their names, not just 'node'? Basically what the patch does is changing type #1 hooks so they can be implemented in the following two ways: Node type specific: E.g. poll_node_form_poll() Node type agnostic: E.g. poll_node_form() This way modules which implement node types can have either a) one hook implementation for *each* node type they implement (the first case above), or one single hook for *all* node types they implement. The patch also rename type #2 hooks changing 'nodeapi' to 'node', to make them inline with other APIs. So e.g. hook_nodeapi_load() becomes hook_node_load(). What do you guys/gals think?
