Example: NodeAPI

Example using NodeAPI.

This is an example demonstrating how a module can be used to extend existing node types.

hook_nodeapi() has been replaced in Drupal 7 with a set of different hooks providing the same or improved functionality. See the NodeAPI hooks list at api.drupal.org (linked below).

We will add the ability for each node to have a "rating," which will be a number from one to five. The rating will be tracked using the revision system also, so every node revision may have different rating values.
