Here is how I do it:
// Make a post node.
$node = new Node();
// Use the node type you need here, in this case 'post'.
$node->type = 'post';
$node->title = 'Replace This With The Title You Want';
node_object_prepare($node);
$node->language = LANGUAGE_NONE;
$node->uid = 1;
$node->status = 1;
$node->promote = 0;
$node->comment = 0;
// Save your field data.
$node->field_author[$node->language][]['value'] = getMetaAndClean($thisBlog[8]);
$node->field_date[$node->language][]['value'] = getMetaAndClean($thisBlog[13]);
$node->field_byline[$node->language][]['value'] = getMetaAndClean($thisBlog[12]);
// Save submit and save the node.
$node = node_submit($node);
node_save($node);Body field is missing from example, but pretty straightforward (after banging my head against wall for an hour):
$node->body['und'][]['value'] = 'This is my test content.';
Now, I'm stuck on adding a taxonomy term to the node using default "tags" (standard installation profile). Any help?
I thought this would work, but it does not:
$node->field_animals_tags['und'][]['taxonomy_term']->name = 'Mammals';
