Hi,
Many times, we required to create custom node and the same we need to display as form in front end. In this case, we can create custom module Quick and Easily as below.
For eg. We have "contactinfo" node type and it's having fields like..
- Name
- Phone Number
- Message
First we need to create : contactinfo.info file
name = contactinfo module
description = contactinfo test module
package = contactinfo modules
core = 7.x
; Information added by Drupal.org packaging script on 2014-06-07
version = "7.x-1.x-dev"
core = "7.x"
project = "sandip"
datestamp = "1402151651"
Second We need to create : contactinfo.module file
/**
* @file
* An example of calling defualt Node and Block via Module
*/
/**
* Implements hook_field_info().
*
* Provides the description of the field.
*/
function contactinfo_info() {
return array(
// We name our field as the associative name of the array.
'contactinfo_basic_action' => array(
'label' => t('Simple contact form creation'),
),
);
}
function contactinfo_menu(){
// Will be only used while we are dealing with ready made node form
$items['contactinfo/test'] = array(
'title' => t('Contact Info Form'),
'page callback' => 'node_form_contactinfo',
'access callback' => TRUE,
'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
'file path' => drupal_get_path('module', 'node'),
'file' => 'node.pages.inc',
);
return $items;
}
/*

*/
function contactinfo_block_info(){
$blocks['contactinfo_block'] = array(
'info' => t('Create contactinfo block'),
'status' => TRUE,
'region' => 'sidebar_first',
'visibility' => BLOCK_VISIBILITY_NOTLISTED,
);
return $blocks;
}
/*

function contactinfo_block_view($delta = '') {
// echo $delta;
switch ($delta) {
case 'contactinfo_block':
module_load_include('inc', 'node', 'node.pages');
$block['subject'] = t('Quick Contact');
$block['content'] = node_form_contactinfo();
break;
}
return $block;
}
/*

*/
function node_form_contactinfo(){
//$nval = node_load(5);
global $user;
//echo $user->uid;
$type = 'contactinfo';
$form_id = $type . '_node_form';
$node = new stdClass();
$node->uid = $user->uid;
$node->type = $type;
node_object_prepare($node);
$output = drupal_get_form($form_id, $node);
return render($output);
}
