smarter function node_add($type) in node.module

This is a quick fix. One which would make node.module a bit smarter when an anonymous user clicks on the submit button.



Currently, they get nothing but the phrase:

"Choose the appropriate item from the list:"



The fix is simple. On or about line 1159, where it reads:
$output = t("Choose the appropriate item from the list:") ."<ul>$output</ul>";



Test for the length of $output.





if(strlen($output)) {

$output = t("Choose the appropriate item from the list:") ."<ul>$output</ul>";

} else {

$output = t('You must first <a href="/drupal/user/register">create a new account</a>');

$output .= t('<br />before you can submit content to our site.');

}
