Creating content types programmatically in Drupal 7. If you add this code to install hook then this way you can define your own content types in a module for an example.

  1. $types = array(
  2.   array(
  3.     'type' => 'page',
  4.     'name' => st('Page'),
  5.     'base' => 'node_content',
  6.     'description' => st("Use <em>pages</em> for your static content, such as an 'About us' page."),
  7.     'custom' => 1,
  8.     'modified' => 1,
  9.     'locked' => 0,
  10.   ),
  11.   array(
  12.     'type' => 'article',
  13.     'name' => st('Article'),
  14.     'base' => 'node_content',
  15.     'description' => st('Use <em>articles</em> for time-specific content like news, press releases or blog posts.'),
  16.     'custom' => 1,
  17.     'modified' => 1,
  18.     'locked' => 0,
  19.   ),
  20. );
  21.  
  22. foreach ($types as $type) {
  23.   $type = node_type_set_defaults($type);
  24.   node_type_save($type);
  25. }
