Description

This is an example outlining how a module can be used to extend existing content types.

We will add the ability for each node to have a "rating," which will be a number from one to five.

To store this extra information, we need an auxiliary database table.

Database definition:

<?php

CREATE TABLE nodeapi_example (
nid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
rating int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (nid)
)

?>
