[drupal-devel] [bug] Multiple node types are broken

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      cvs
 Component:    node system
 Category:     bug reports
 Priority:     critical
 Assigned to:  chx
 Reported by:  chx
 Updated by:   jakeg
 Status:       patch (code needs review)

Currently gives warnings such as:


Warning: Missing argument 1 for page_node_name() in ...something.module
on line x


Perhaps add argument $null = '' or something similar for backwards
compatability as e.g. page.module calls as thus:


function page_node_name($node) {
  return t('page');
}


... so we need the $node argument to be allowed, even if its totally
pointless.

People come and tell me that I have broken node_get_module_name. I tell
them I fixed it. This leads nowhere. Yesterday Kjartan, jakeg and me
had finally a conversation during which we have arrived to the
conclusion that there is no need for two hooks and hook_node_name could
return either a string or an array in the form of:



<?php
array('type-a' => array('node type a', 'base')), 'type-b' => 'node type b', 'node type c');
?>




Which would define a 'type-a' , with a human readable name 'node type
a' and base_load would be called for hook_load and so forth. for
'type-b' , the difference is that modulename_load would be called. For
'node type c', the node type would be modulename.

Except on third example surely their shouldn't be spaces in 'node type
c' as surely that won't work?


Just to make it clear to people: this patch enables a module, such as
project.module, to define more than one node type, using different
hooks for each of those node types within the same module. Otherwise,
functions would have to be shared between the node types defined by the
function, or a different module would be needed for each node type.
Neither of which are desirable.
