node_example_node_info()
developer/examples/node_example.module, line 50

Description

Implementation of hook_node_info(). This function replaces hook_node_name() and hook_node_types() from 4.6. Drupal 5 expands this hook significantly.

This is a required node hook. This function describes the nodes provided by this module.

The required attributes are:

• "name" provides a human readable name for the node,
• "module" tells Drupal how the module's functions map to hooks (i.e. if the module is node_example_foo then node_example_foo_insert will be called when inserting the node).
• "description" provides a brief description of the node type, which is show up when a user accesses the "Create content" page for that node type.

The other optional, attributes:

• "has_title" boolean that indicates whether or not this node type has a title field.
• "title_label": the label for the title field of this content type.
• "has_body": boolean that indicates whether or not this node type has a body field.
• "body_label": the label for the body field of this content type.
• "min_word_count": the minimum number of words for the body field to be considered valid for this content type.
