Where is the best place for a module/theme to edit the node title? I would like to prepend the node type to the title input by the user.

I have custom node types created with hook_*(). I tried to set $node->title in hook_view(), but it doesn't affect anything.

Well. I finally used the following solution:

I added an item in the node object within hook_load(): $node->title_prepend = "what I want here";

and then at the theme level:

<?php if ($node->title_prepend): print '<span class="node-label">'. $node->title_prepend .' </span>'; endif; ?>

It works. If there is a better solution, I'd be happy to hear about it.

thanks,
