Re: [development] D7 additional content type settings [was: D7 node flow]

Hi Adam. Hook_nodeapi was put out to pasture in D7, wasn't it? I'm at the point of node/add/whatever_type, so hook_node_prepare applies, but the $node object for it contains only the standard fields and fields added to the content type, but not fields added to the content type form. I don't know if I'm explaining it correctly. I want to be able to add an option to content types that can be used or not, and then when creating a piece of content, be able to check whether that content type is supposed to use that option.
hook_nodeapi using op load or prepare. Alternatively you could use my module http://drupal.org/project/custom_pub but it doesn't have a per node_type customization at the moment. But if nothing else the code will show you how I accomplished it.

    Still unclear on this...not for lack of searching.  If I add a
    field to node_type_form with hook_form_alter, how do I access that
    field's contents when NOT on the content type page? For example,
    if as a result of hook_form_alter my content type form shows the
    following:

    Default options
    Published
    Promoted to front page
    Sticky at top of lists
    Create new revision
    My option

    The setting for My options shows up every time I edit the content
    type, but how do I access it when content is being created for
    that content type?
