function hook_node_name

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.

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.

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.

function hook_node_name($node) {
  switch (is_string($node) ? $node : $node->type) {
    case 'project-issue':
      return t('issue');
    case 'project-project':
      return t('project');
  }
