Well,
If that is the case then can you add a user reference field to the
node that you populate in your form alter with the new users uid (i.e.
somehow get the new user's id saved with the node)? Then re-assign in
a seperate hook_nodeapi to $node->uid on insert. It's a little hack-
ish, but if the only actual issue you are having is assigning the
author's uid, then that would do it with a few lines of code.

I thought about doing it that way, and looking back, perhaps I
should have... but the fields we are using are added to the form via
hook_form_alter, and aren't actually part of the node.

I just did a very similar functionality only used hook_node_api:
case 'insert' to create the user and set the author of the node.
Works just fine there and you avoid any edge cases where the form
is submited but the node isn't 'save-able'.

Hi all.
I've been trying to get a bit of code working, and I would
appreciate a set of eyes.
Basically, I have a content type ('profile') which has fields for
user account details. If they are filled out, and a 'Create
account' checkbox is checked, a user account is created with those
details, and the profile node should be assigned to the newly-
created user instead of the user creating the node.
The issue is that, while the new user is created properly in the
submit hook, the last line in the submit callback where I override
the 'uid' value from the form values doesn't work - the node just
saves with the user's uid instead of the uid of the new account
that is specified on the last line.
Does anyone have any idea how to make this work?
Thank you in advance for anyone that can suggest a solution!

<?php
function mymodule_form_profile_node_form_alter(&$form, &
$form_state) {
// Add our submit handler. We use array_unshift to prepend it, as
we want it
// to execute before the regular node form submit handler.
array_unshift($form['buttons']['submit']['#submit'],
'mymodule_profile_form_submit');
}
// Submit the user account creation fields in the profile_node_form.
function mymodule_profile_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
// Create the user account.
if ($form_state['values']['create']) {
$account['name'] = $form_state['values']['username'];
$account['mail'] = $form_state['values']['mail'];
$account['pass'] = $form_state['values']['pass'];
$account['status'] = 1;
$account = user_save(array(), $account);
// Now set the uid of the profile node to be owned by this new
account.
$form_state['values']['uid'] = $account->uid;
}
}
?>
