Insert Node Parameter: override (6-1.3) [special]

Alexis Wilke — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:49:05 +0000

WARNING

This parameter is considered a security hazard. There is an option in your format definition that you have to turn on in order for the feature to work. When not selected, override is ignored. Only allow this feature in an input filter where you can trust users 100%.

One can use the override parameter to replace the expected data with their own data. Although one would think using the data directly would work as well, there are cases when this is useful.

By default the InsertNode module gets data from the $node object as defined by the system. At times, the data available in the

Insert Node Parameter: imagefield or imagecache (6-1.3)

Alexis Wilke — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 20:33:55 +0000

The imagefield parameter allows you to insert a CCK image from the specified node.

The parameter must be set to a very specific value for the feature to function properly. The following describes the value:

imagefield=<field name>:<image cache value>:<type>:<index>

The <field name> is the name of the CCK field. You need to include field_ as the introducer. For example, a field you named image is referenced as field_image.

The <image cache value> represents the way the image is displayed. Most often it represents a size such as small, medium, and large.

Insert Node Parameter: cckteaser (6-1.3)

Alexis Wilke — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 21:08:35 +0000

The CCK parameter let you insert one of your CCK field in full. This parameter, cckteaser, let you insert the teaser of your CCK field.

This feature uses the teaser flag of the CCK module in order to insert the teaser data. This means only the field_<name> fields make the distinction between cck=... and cckteaser=..., the other fields simply ignores the difference.

For more information on the CCK field names that are supported, check the Insert Node Parameter: cck (6-1.2) page.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Note that the parameter value ends with a semi-colon! Do not include quotes

The module works and is secure, however, there are problems difficult to circumvent. The following lists them. If you can help fixing some them, you'll be more than welcome!

Reordering the Comments on your Node

It is possible to reorder the node fields using the CCK module. If the Discuss This! comments do not appear exactly where you'd expect them to be, try using the the CCK module:

Install the CCK module
Go to Administer » Content management » Content types
Click on Manage content fields next to the node type you are trying to ...

Insert Nodes used as a macro (6.x-1.2)

Alexis Wilke — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 07:19:24 +0000

This module can be used to create macros (as pointed out by one of our user in a Drupal issue.)

The following steps show you how you can create a macro with the Insert Node module.

Create the Macro

First, create a node that is to become the macro. We will call this node macro. It is used without the Insert Node filter so the Insert Node tags do not get changed. This is important since we reference the main node (with the asterisk) and that reference would look like a recursive reference.

One idea is to use the macro as a PayPal button which gets set with parameters from another node. This

Insert Node Parameter: plain (6-1.2) [no content]

Alexis Wilke — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 06:52:33 +0000

The plain keyword is used to avoid having the content being inserted put inside a tag. By default, the content is inserted inside a <span> or a <div> tag (<span> is used if the output does not include <div>, <p> and other such tags.)

Although one could overload the theme_InsertNode_node() theme function, it is at times practical to be able to use both methods.

The plain keyword does not otherwise generate any output.

This keyword primary use is for adding CCK parameters inside HTML code as proposed by one of our users (see here):

<input ...

Insert Node Known Issues

Alexis Wilke — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 10:47:34 +0000

The following are problems that have not been resolved and will probably not be.

Tag not transformed

At times, you enter the tag as in [node:123 cck=title] and it is not converted by the filter.

There are 3 common reasons for this to append:

You did not select the filter in your Input formats;
You did not select the format that uses the filter in that node; or
There is a syntax error in the tag.

The 3^rd one is certainly the most likely explanation once you made sure that the filter was effectively selected for that node. In many cases, it will be the missing semi-colon

Insert Node Parameter: cck (6-1.2)

Alexis Wilke — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 09:50:28 +0000

The CCK parameter let you insert one of your CCK field and some node fields that cannot otherwise be added without being themed.

We support CCK fields and several special field names as follow.

Fields that appeared after version 6-1.2 have a version specified between parenthesis (i.e. 6-1.3).

cck=field_<name>; [requires CCK]

The CCK parameter must be followed by a field name. An empty name is likely to generate an error. The name of a field that does not exist is likely to generate nothing.

For instance, if you have a field named see_also, you would write:

   cck=field_see_also;
