Detect in form_alter if the node submitted is added or edited
When you want to alter a form on Drupal, it is useful to detect if the form being submitted is to add a new node or edit an existing node. To detect if a form is being added or submitted, check the
$form[<content-type>]['nid']['#value']
.
Example :
$form['book']['nid']['#value']
.
If the value is "new", the node is being added.
If the value is numeric, the node with nid as the number is being edited.
Anyone got better ideas ? :)
