If you're programmatically creating nodes, populate $node->name

If you're programmatically creating nodes, be sure to populate $node->name, since the block starting at "if (user_access('administer nodes'))" in node_submit() will change your $node->uid to 0 (anonymous) for all users who have 'administer nodes' permissions, including your admin user.

If you have problems when you update nodes with node_submit and node save because the created dates is change please read this post from drupal.org

http://drupal.org/node/286069

You must make this:

<?php
$node = node_load($this_product_name_id);
// do some stuff here
$node->date = format_date($node->created, 'custom', 'Y-m-d H:i:s O');
$node = node_submit($node);
if ($node->validated) {
  node_save($node);
}
?>

Thanks Berto.
