I am making nodes programmatically. One node field is a nid reference to a node of type Meet. I have set these attributes to a real node of type Meet. However, when I run this node object through node_validate(), I get an error:
Meet: this post can't be referenced.
Why does this happen? Here is the node object:
stdClass Object
(
[type] => bout
[name] => Gary Oak
[promote] =>
[comment] => 2
[revision] =>
[format] => 0
[status] => 0
[title] => the title 4
[uid] => 4
[field_touches_scored] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[value] => 4
)
)
[field_touches_received] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[value] => 5
)
)
[field_meet] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[nid] => 2583
)
)
[field_round] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[value] => 1
)
)
[field_legacy_bout] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[value] => 0
)
)
[field_weapon] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[value] => saber
)
)
)
Also, I'm not really sure what's going on with the error reporting. This is my function to validate the nodes:
$nodes_to_save = construct_nodes();
foreach ($nodes_to_save as $node) {
node_validate($node, $form);
if ($errors = form_get_errors()) {
form_set_error('', t('Validation error. No nodes saved.'));
}
}
I would expect that if any error were generated by node_validate(), the additional form_set_error() call would be fired. However, I get only one error, which is the one referenced above. Am I misunderstanding these functions?
