I try to add some fields to content type through this hook as it done in node_example module in Drupal 7 examples but it's not even invoked. What can be wrong? 

function education_node_type_insert($content_type){
            $fields = _anketa_installed_fields();
            foreach($fields as $field){
                field_create_field($field);
            }

            $instances = _anketa_installed_instances();
            foreach($instances as $instance){
                $instance['entity_type'] = 'node';
                $instance['bundle'] = 'anketa';
                field_create_field($instance);
            }
    }

  • Are you sure your custom module is enabled? Did you clear cache after you added the implementation of hook_node_type_insert? – Pontus Nilsson Jul 30 '13 at 19:57
  • Yes, I even tried to disable and enable it back several times. Same thing with clearing cache – Dmitrii Mikhailov Jul 30 '13 at 20:42
  • Out of curiosity what is it you are trying to accomplish? – Pontus Nilsson Jul 31 '13 at 9:22
  • I'm just trying to create content type and add fields to it. In node_example example from drupal.org it works but in my case - doesn't. Just can't figure out why. – Dmitrii Mikhailov Jul 31 '13 at 14:56
  • Why not use the Features module to export your field definition? – Pontus Nilsson Aug 1 '13 at 15:05

This hook will only get called when node_type_save() is called - ie. when a new node type is saved to the database.

  • So the type should be saved in hook_install anyway? – Dmitrii Mikhailov Jul 31 '13 at 5:58
