hook_node_name($node)

Define the human-readable name of a node type.

This is a hook used by node modules. This hook is required of modules that define a node type. It is called to define the name of a type of node.

The most basic node module consists of only this hook. If the module defines only one type of node, then the function can consist of a single line returning the translated node type name.

For a detailed usage example, see node_example.module.

Parameters

$node Either the node type as a string, or a node object (in which case $node->type contains the node type as a string).

Return value

A string containing the node type name.
