This module will automatically create a main book page for content type selected in Book made simple settings. This is a shortcut to create a node and click on Update book outline.

A dropdown listbox will be added in books links. Only allowed content-type (define in content-type settings) are printed. Selecting a content type will add it as a child page of the book page.

You can also define allowed content-type as child per content-type (in content-type settings).

Version 3 updates

Some features have been changed with version 3:

Permission have been renamed ("links" => "tabs") so you must re-enter them.
A new permision "Show (checked) or hide (unchecked) outline section in form elements" have been added
Setting "Forbid creation of book main page" allows now creation of content-type as standalone but cannot be modified to be main page of book
New setting "Content type can only be created inside a book" prevents creation of node outside a book

It is strongly encouraged to hide Outline tab, because it is simplier to modify book list in form element.
