function node_build_content in Drupal 7

Same name and namespace in other branches
  1. 5 modules/node/node.module \node_build_content()
  2. 6 modules/node/node.module \node_build_content()

Builds a structured array representing the node's content.

The content built for the node (field values, comments, file attachments or other node components) will vary depending on the $view_mode parameter.

Drupal core defines the following view modes for nodes, with the following default use cases:

  • full (default): node is being displayed on its own page (node/123)
  • teaser: node is being displayed on the default home page listing, on taxonomy listing pages, or on blog listing pages.
  • rss: node displayed in an RSS feed.

If search.module is enabled:

  • search_index: node is being indexed for search.
  • search_result: node is being displayed as a search result.

If book.module is enabled:

  • print: node is being displayed in print-friendly mode.

Contributed modules might define additional view modes, or use existing view modes in additional contexts.

Parameters

$node: A node object.

$view_mode: View mode, e.g. 'full', 'teaser'...

$langcode: (optional) A language code to use for rendering. Defaults to the global content language of the current request.

The core that allows content to be submitted to the site. Modules and scripts may programmatically submit nodes using the usual form API pattern.
