Display create a node in a modal dialog
By default when creating a node, the save action will redirect the user to another page but if we want to just close the modal dialog and leave the user on the same page we need to tell the form to do that.
For this we are going to alter the form and add an AJAX command letting Drupal know that we want to close the dialog as soon as the node is created.
