Sammy, use prepare to modify data. and validate to validate only... Changes will get lost between validate and insert/update On Fri, 2006-06-16 at 01:33 +1000, sime wrote:
OK, I found the document that describes differences between 4.6 and 4.6. It states that I cannot change a value on validation.*
*http://drupal.org/node/22218 3. validate (you can only validate here, no changes possible)
This conflicts with the nodeapi docs:
http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/hook_nodeapi "validate": ... This hook can be used to check or even modify the node
Should I assume that the first one is correct? This would mean that I am just encountering legacy 4.6 code in ecommerce 4.7. Sorry, I'm finding this hard to get my head around.

Hello.
I keep losing values that I modify in the 'validate' op of hook_nodeapi(). This occurs by the time I get to the insert or update ops.
It has to be something simple I am overlooking. I normally wouldn't hassle the list over such things, but I am starting to write bad code to compensate, so I need to work out what I'm doing wrong. It is a little hard for me to track the $node through core, so are there any suggestions about what I might be doing wrong, or where a problem like this can arise?
Kind thanks for any advice. Simon
PS. I have checked the nodeapi docs: "validate": The user has just finished editing the node and is trying to preview or submit it. This hook can be used to check or *even modify the node*.
Also, I have double-checked that i am using a version of form.inc that is after this issue was fixed: http://drupal.org/node/63704
