This is something needed a lot and will save a lot of code duplication,
and tricks like two stub event sumodules.


since CCK will not make it to 4.7, this is the way to go.

Instead of page, story etc let's have a module with which you can add
simple body only nodes. At least moshe and I frequently copy
story.module to have a new simple module. For example, event needs
this. For permissions it's great to have multiple node types. So I
downloaded a copy of content.module from CCK, pressed delete a lot,
copied hook_form from story and then rename the stuff to
simplenode.module. Then I reviewed the thing but it was really not
much, so credit goes to JonBob and jvandyk.


MySQL is:


CREATE TABLE node_type (
  type_name varchar(31) NOT NULL default '',
  label varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  description mediumtext NOT NULL,
  help mediumtext NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (type_name)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

To save a couple hundred bytes of code and also a lot in DB I removed
hard caching of node types. It's surely needed for CCK, not for us.
