In D6, creating content via drupal_execute() was difficult. In D7 using
drupal_form_submit() seems even more so. Thanks to fields, I can't tell
how to pass in the body of a comment or node.
Does anyone have an example snippet that creates a comment via
drupal_form_submit(). Or any other programmatic way?
I'm building my comment during a cron job. I want the automatically
generated comment to be attributed to the Anonymous user. But,
anonymous does not have permission to "post comments", and
comment_form_submit() refuses to save the new comment unless
user_access('post comments'). I consider that a bug - that check is
made before showing the form and should not be made during submit. What
do you think? http://drupal.org/node/1044212
