Populating the body field on new nodes

Posted by estimi on January 26, 2011 at 4:08pm

Hello,

I'm using the "Add new content" action to create three different nodes based on the information provided during the creation of another node. Unfortunately, i'm not able to populate the "Body" field of the new nodes. I'm only able to set their title and populate CCK fields. Is this a bug? A lacking feature? Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance, guys.

if you have php filter enabled (in admin/build/modules), you should be able to make a custom php action.

the body of my new node wasn't populated.

After My "Create an entity" action (where I populate the title and author)
I created an execute php code action with:

<?php $new_X_node->body = 'the body'; $new_X_node->field-tag1 = 'test1'; $new_X_node->field-tag2 = 'test2'; $new_X_node->field-tag3 = 'test3'; return array("content" => $content); ?>
