Drupal: automatically add new nodes to a nodequeue

Question

Can I somehow automatically add a node to a specific nodequeue when it is created ?

(I\'m using nodequeue module: drupal.org/project/nodequeue)

thanks

I needed this feature for a drupal 7 site and took the custom module solution. Let's say the setup is one nodequeue, and every 'project' nodes should be automatically added and removed to the queue. Create an empty nodequeue_auto_add directory in sites/all/modules/. This contains these two files

nodequeue_auto_add.info

name = Nodequeue auto add/remove
description = Automatically adds and remove nodes when they are created and deleted.
core = 7.x
version = 7.x-dev
package = Nodequeue

dependencies[] = nodequeue

nodequeue_auto_add.module

nid;
  $type = $node->type;
  // only process project node
  if ($type != 'project') {
    return FALSE;
  }
  // I've only one nodequeue where a specific node type should always be 
  // added so this is taken from the mysql nodequeue_queue table
  $queue_id = 1;

  // subqueue id, exists even if we created a really basic nodequeue (from nodequeue_subqueue table)
  $sqid = 1;
  $queue = nodequeue_load($queue_id);
  $subqueue = nodequeue_load_subqueue($sqid);

  if (function_exists('views_invalidate_cache')) {
    views_invalidate_cache();
  }

  nodequeue_subqueue_add($queue, $subqueue, $nid);
}

/**
 * Implements hook_node_delete().
 */
function nodequeue_auto_add_node_delete($node) {
  $nid = $node->nid;
  $type = $node->type;
  // only process project node
  if ($type != 'project') {
    return FALSE;
  }

  if (function_exists('views_invalidate_cache')) {
    views_invalidate_cache();
  }

  // I've only one nodequeue where a specific node type should always be 
  // added so this is taken from the mysql nodequeue_queue table
  $queue_id = 1;

  // subqueue id, exists even if we created a really basic nodequeue (from nodequeue_subqueue table)
  $sqid = 1;

  nodequeue_subqueue_remove_node($sqid, $nid);
}
