I just started playing with Drupal and I'd like the user to be able to add a custom node(or content) outside the admin by providing a form and then add that to Drupal's database once submitted. How do I do this programmatically and securely? Wordpress has a wp_insert_post() function for this functionality, what's the Drupal version?

Is there a reason you want to do it programatically? Drupal can do what you described without needing to go into code.– arkzCommented Feb 9, 2012 at 14:31

@arkz: Your answer made that reason moot, how exactly do I do that?– jilseegoCommented Feb 9, 2012 at 14:35

Are you sure you want to do it programmatically? You can just create the Content Type and use Permissions to control which user's roles can add/edit/delete that type of content.

Well, I'd like the form to be embed-able anywhere in a page just like a widget. I don't want to provide the whole admin interface in creating the node. Could the method you suggest accomplish that?– jilseegoCommented Feb 9, 2012 at 14:42

Sure, for instance you can use Page and Panels modules to put the form anywhere within the page content.– dxvargasCommented Feb 9, 2012 at 14:46
