Changing the Node Creation Title in Drupal?

Question

Let's say I have a node called "product". When I create such a node, it will always display: "Create product" as the title of the node. How do I change this title WHEN CREATING THE NODE?

Answer 1

try with

yourmodule_form_product_node_form_alter(&$form, $form_state)
{
  drupal_set_title($foobar);
}

Answer 2

This should do the trick in your custom module, just be specific to the content type.

 function your_module_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
      if ($form_id == 'contenttype_node_form') {
        drupal_set_title(t("Title you prefer"));
      }
    }

Answer 3

try this,

function hook_node_view($node, $view_mode, $langcode) { 
  if (arg(0) == 'node') {
  $nid = arg(1);
  .
  .
  .
  .
  drupal_set_title($title);
}  

}

It's Work.

Answer 4

you mean you have a content type "product"?

the "Create product" title when creating a node of type "product" is set in node_add($type):

// ...
drupal_set_title(t('Create @name', array('@name' => $types[$type]->name)));
$output = drupal_get_form($type .'_node_form', $node);
// ...

there are at least 2 options to change this:

• change the translatable string 'Create @name' (indicated by the t() it is passed through) via
  • settings.php - search for locale_custom_strings_, or
  • http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides
• modify the 'product_node_form' as mentioned by gpilotino (minus the $form['title']['#title'] = 'foobar' - you only need the drupal_set_title('foobar')). this is a little harder, as you have to write your own module.

Answer 5

I assume you mean that you want to change the words "Create Product"

For a quick and easy solution you can use the [string override][1] module. It is a little bit of a hack but it is simple and has a nice UI for changing this - there is something to be said for simplicity :-)

Answer 6

I contributed a module that solves this problem. Check out Node Add Title.

Hope it helps.
