Thanks for the tutorial.
In my case i wanted to attach a form to the end of the contact page.
It really was this simple...
<?php
function aat_contact_entity_view( $entity, $type, $view_mode, $langcode ) {
switch ($type) {
case 'node':
if($entity->nid == variable_get('aat_contact_contact_nid',0)) {
$output = drupal_get_form('aat_contact_contact');
// create a new content field and stick the html in it
// sink it to the bottom of the node
$entity->content['a_new_field'] = array(
'#markup' => drupal_render($output),
'#weight' => 99,
);
}
break;
}
}
?>
