Hi,

I've created a new content, type, and I would like to be able in my own module to read all the values of all the fields of a particular instance of that content type.

I googled a bit but am not sure of the answer, I've seen some custom code, and I would like to use an api if there is any that could do what I need.

I'm planning to provide a parameter (most probably the nodeid) or even one of the unique fields of this content type to uniquely identify the instance, thus I'm planning to write a function such as:

get_all_values_of_mycontenttype (uniquekeyid)
{
return $allfieldsoftheuniquekeyid;
}

Many thanks in pointing me in the right direction

How about we step back a step, what is the over all purpose of this module?

Hi nevets

The overall purpose is to be able to use an id and generate html code of a table with rows added like I explained here:

Thank you

Why not use the views module?

If you want to all data of your custom content type (mycontenttype), so please try with following code

$type = "mycontenttype"; // Machine name 
$nodes = node_load_multiple(array(), array('type' => $type)); 
foreach($nodes as $mycontenttype):
   print $mycontenttype->nid; 
   print $mycontenttype->title; 
endforeach;
