Hi Adam. Hook_nodeapi was put out to pasture in D7, wasn't it?  I'm at the point of node/add/whatever_type, so hook_node_prepare applies, but the $node object for it contains only the standard fields and fields added to the content type, but not fields added to the content type form. I don't know if I'm explaining it correctly. I want to be able to add an option to content types that can be used or not, and then when creating a piece of content, be able to check whether that content type is supposed to use that option.

hook_nodeapi using op load or prepare. Alternatively you could use my module http://drupal.org/project/custom_pub but it doesn't have a per node_type customization at the moment. But if nothing else the code will show you how I accomplished it.

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'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:

 
 
 
 
My option

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?
