Description

This is an example outlining how a module can be used to define a new node type.

Our example node type will allow users to specify a "color" and a "quantity" for their nodes; some kind of rudimentary inventory-tracking system, perhaps? To store this extra information, we need an auxiliary database table.

Database definition:

<?php

CREATE TABLE node_example (
nid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
color varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
quantity int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY  (nid)
)

?>
