The autocreate module is a CCK field module that creates a nodereference to a
node cloned from a template.  The most common uses are for including a
reference to a webform or poll, but references to other content types are
possible.  While the module itself uses a modified copy of the clone_node()
function, clone settings (allowable types, status settings, etc.) are taken
from the Clone Node module configuration settings.  You do not have to set
clone permissions for users, but users must have permission to create content
types that use autocreated nodereferences.


How-to:

1.  In the Autocreate nodereference configuration, define your desired Template
token and node suffix.

2.  For any node you want be able to clone for a nodereference, create an
unpublished "template" node that has the Template token as part of the node
title--e.g., if your Template token is 'WOUGFWIO', a template node would be
called '[node title] WOUGFWIO'.

3.  Add a Nodereference (autocreate) field to your content type and select the
template node to be associated with that field for that content type.  When a
user creates new content for that type, the template node will be cloned and
renamed using the node title + the node suffix specified in your Autocreate
configuration.
