function hook_prepare

Act on a node object about to be shown on the add/edit form.

This is a node-type-specific hook, which is invoked only for the node type being affected. See Node API hooks for more information.

Use hook_node_prepare() to respond to node preparation of all node types.

This hook is invoked from node_object_prepare() before the general hook_node_prepare() is invoked.

Parameters

$node: The node that is about to be shown on the add/edit form.
