Setup a new content type on install and add fields- Drupal 7 field API

Adding customs Fields on Drupal module installation:


At the moment we are building a Drupal 7 site which requires everything to be enabled
on install via modules / custom profiles. Below is a content type with some extra fields
added using Field API so you can see how they are added. This should go in the module
*.install file. We go through the standard process of setting up a content type, and call
installed_fields and installed_instances functions. You might want to rename it from
‘article’ to something else, from what I remember on the standard install profile, Drupal 7
already creates a content type called article.

function article_install() {
  // get the translation function relevant to our current localisation
  $t = get_t();
  // define the content type as an array (same as in hook_node_info())
  $article = array(
    'type' => 'article',
    'name' => $t('Article'),
    'base' => 'node_content',
    'description' => $t('Content type to handle articles.'),
    'body_label' => $t('Article Description'),
    'promote' => 0,
    'status' => 1,
    'comment' => 0,
  );
 
  // set default values for anything not explicitly defined in the above array
 
  $content_type = node_type_set_defaults($article);
 
  // add the body field to the content type
  node_add_body_field($content_type, 'Body');
 
  // create the content type
 
  node_type_save($content_type);
 
  variable_set('node_options_article', array('status'));
  // hide comments for this node. http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--comment--comment.module/7
  variable_set('comment_article', 'COMMENT_NODE_HIDDEN');
 
  // Hide date and author information
 
  variable_set('node_submitted_article', FALSE);
 
  // Create all the fields we are adding to our content type.

  // adjust the weight so it's called after a dependant module called 'categories'

  db_update('system')->fields(array(
    'weight' => $weight + 1,
