Managing several custom content types from one module(drupal)
- by Andrew
Is it possible to declare and manage several custom content types inside one module? I'm creating a site that needs four custom content types and I'd like to manage them from one module instead of creating module for every content type. After some testing, I found out that it seems impossible. Because, unless hook_form and content type share the same name of module, drupal doesn't call hook_form.
Here's how I'd like to do -
function mycontent_node_info(){
return array(
'mycontent1' => array(
'name' => t('....'),
'module' => 'mycontent',
'description' => t('...),
'has_title' => TRUE,
'title_label' => t('Title'),
'has_body' => TRUE,
'body_label' => t('content body'),
),
'mycontent2' => array(
.......
),
'mycontent3' => array(
......
),
'mycontent4' => array(
......
),
);
}
function mycontent1_form(&$node){
$form['control1'] = array(
'#type' => 'select',
'#options' => array(
'0' => t('selection 1'),
'1' => t('selection 2'),
),
'#attributes' => array('id'=>'control1'),
);
$form['control2'] = array(
'#type' => 'select',
'#options' => array(
'0' => t('1'),
'1' => t('2'),
'2' => t('3'),
'3' => t('4'),
),
'#attributes' => array('id'=>'control2'),
);
return $form;
}
function mycontent2_form(&$node){
....
}
function mycontent3_form(&$node){
....
}
function mycontent4_form(&$node){
....
}
Am I doing something wrong here or is not possible and there's no alternative other than creating module for every content types. I appreciate much your help.
