function nodeapi_example_nodeapi in Examples for Developers 6
Implementation of hook_nodeapi().
We will implement several node API operations here. This hook allows us to act on all major node operations, so we can manage our additional data appropriately.

Code
function nodeapi_example_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $teaser, $page) {
switch ($op) {
// When the content editing form is submitted, we need to validate the input
// to make sure the user made a selection, since we are requiring the rating
// field. We have to check that the value has been set to avoid showing an
// error message when a new blank form is presented. Calling form_set_error()
// when the field is set but zero ensures not only that an error message is
// presented, but also that the user must correct the error before being able
// to submit the node.
case 'validate':
if (variable_get('nodeapi_example_' . $node->type, TRUE)) {
if (isset($node->nodeapi_example_rating) && !$node->nodeapi_example_rating) {
form_set_error('nodeapi_example_rating', t('You must rate this content.'));
}
}
break;
// Now we need to take care of loading one of the extended nodes from the
// database. An array containing our extra field needs to be returned.
case 'load':
// we match against vid in order to keep up with the current revision
$rating = db_result(db_query('SELECT rating FROM {nodeapi_example} WHERE vid = %d', $node->vid));
return array(
'nodeapi_example_rating' => $rating,
);
break;
// Insert is called after the node has been validated and saved to the
// database. It gives us a chance to create our own record in the database.
case 'insert':
if (variable_get('nodeapi_example_' . $node->type, 0)) {
db_query('INSERT INTO {nodeapi_example} (nid, vid, rating) VALUES (%d, %d, %d)', $node->nid, $node->vid, $node->nodeapi_example_rating);
}
break;
// Update is called when an existing node has been changed. Here, we use a
// DELETE then an INSERT rather than an UPDATE. The reason is that a node
// created before this module was installed won't already have a rating
// saved so there would be nothing to update.
case 'update':
if (variable_get('nodeapi_example_' . $node->type, 0)) {
db_query('DELETE FROM {nodeapi_example} WHERE vid = %d', $node->vid);
db_query('INSERT INTO {nodeapi_example} (nid, vid, rating) VALUES (%d, %d, %d)', $node->nid, $node->vid, $node->nodeapi_example_rating);
}
break;
// Delete is called when the node is being deleted, it gives us a chance
// to delete the rating too.
// This will delete all revisions as well.
case 'delete':
db_query('DELETE FROM {nodeapi_example} WHERE nid = %d', $node->nid);
break;
// When a node revision is deleted, we need to remove the corresponding
// record from our table. The only way to handle revision deletion is by
// implementing hook_nodeapi().
case 'delete revision':
// Notice that we're matching a single revision based on the node's vid.
db_query('DELETE FROM {nodeapi_example} WHERE vid = %d', $node->vid);
break;
// Finally, we need to take care of displaying our rating when the node is
// viewed. This operation is called after the node has already been prepared
// into HTML and filtered as necessary, so we know we are dealing with an
// HTML teaser and body. We will inject our additional information at the front
// of the node copy.
//
// Using nodeapi('view') is more appropriate than using a filter here, because
// filters transform user-supplied content, whereas we are extending it with
// additional information.
case 'view':
if (variable_get('nodeapi_example_' . $node->type, 0)) {
$node->content['nodeapi_example'] = array(
'#value' => theme('nodeapi_example_rating', $node->nodeapi_example_rating),
'#weight' => -1,
);
