Description of the need
To create a books child content, the parent books mlid (menu link ID) is required.
With help of this ID it's possible to create a link, which let's make a new book child using the Prepopulate module and the mlid value.
The created link has to look like /node/add/book?parent=[!mlid]
.
Proposed solution
Add a views entry to file: book.views.inc
section:
// menu_links table ...
...
$data['book_menu_links']['mlid'] = array(
'title' => t('mlid'),
'help' => t('The mlid of the book page.'),
'field' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_field_numeric',
'click sortable' => TRUE,
),
'sort' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
),
);
Alternatives that have been considered
none
Additional information
It's working on manually patched versions.
