Example: Node
Creating a new content type in a module. (drupal 6)
This is an example outlining how a module can be used to define a new node type.
(Note that custom node types are most often created with CCK in recent versions of Drupal.)
Our example node type will allow users to specify a "color" and a "quantity" for their nodes; some kind of rudimentary inventory-tracking system, perhaps? To store this extra information, we need an auxiliary database table as defined in node_example_schema().
This example is part of the Examples for Developers Project which you can download and experiment with here: http://drupal.org/project/examples
