Hello,
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.
Changing the node title at the theme level seems a bit clumsy: too much php and sql queries would be needed there.
Where do you handle this?
Thanks,
Augustin.

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">'. $node->title_prepend .' </span>'; endif; ?>
It works. If there is a better solution, I'd be happy to hear about it.
thanks,
Augustin.
Quoting "Augustin (Beginner)" drupal.beginner@wechange.org:
<?php if ($node->title_prepend): print '<span class="node-label">'. $node->title_prepend .' </span>'; endif; ?>
Don't you need to protect against the non-existence of $node->title_prepend or is it guaranteed to be present at this point?
<code> <?php if (isset($node->title_prepend)): print '<span class="node-label">'. $node->title_prepend .' </span>'; endif; ?> </code>
And you want to prettify this code.

You are right. I am supposed to use isset().
<code> <?php if (isset($node->title_prepend)): print '<span class="node-label">'. $node->title_prepend .' </span>'; endif; ?> </code>

Yes. :) I just copied the coding style in Garland's page.tpl.
Thanks,
Augustin.

Here's a simpler solution (I think) but maybe this approach has been deprecated as it's something I used back in the 4.6 days....
<?php print $node->type ?>
A linked node title then would be something like:
<h2 class="title"><a href="<?php print $node_url ?>" title="<?php print $title ?>"><?php print $node->type ?>: <?php print $title ?></ a></h2>

In the 4.6 days we didn't have node types which where named by users in core. Now that we have them, $node->type should be regarded as user input and sanitized on output:
<?php print check_plain($node->type); ?>
Cheers, Ger»yes, it may seem overzealous«hard

Duh! Great point! Thank you!

Isn't node type sanitized on input. (can't have spaces etc? )
Just curious.

It might be, I didn't check. But it is best if people err on the side of caution. Essentially, everything that is a property of an object or an element of an array shouldl be checked when you write a template. A check_plain too many ususally doesn't hurt. And if it does, you'll notice.
Cheers, Gerhard
