User login

Modifying profile node embedded in registration form

Here's the dump of the form information for the profile node type embedded in the user registration form.

I can't get form_alter to apply to just this form-- if I use node-form it works, but it shrinks every other body text field also.

)

The solution I used was to theme the form, which frankly rocks. In template.php

Wish I'd started doing this a while ago (I suppose I should be using the theme name rather than "theme_")

Resolution

function theme_profile_node_form($form) {
  // this is all I wanted to do.
  $form['body_filter']['body']['#rows'] = 5;
// drupal_set_message('<pre>' . print_r($form, TRUE) . '</pre>');

  $output = "\n<div class="node-form">\n";
  // Admin form fields and submit buttons must be rendered first, because
  // they need to go to the bottom of the form, and so should not be part of
  // the catch-all call to drupal_render().
  $admin = '';
  if (isset($form['author'])) {
    $admin .= "    <div class="authored">\n";
    $admin .= drupal_render($form['author']);
    $admin .= "    </div>\n";
  }
  if (isset($form['options'])) {
    $admin .= "    <div class="options">\n";
    $admin .= drupal_render($form['options']);
    $admin .= "    </div>\n";
  }
  $buttons = drupal_render($form['preview']);
  $buttons .= drupal_render($form['submit']);
  $buttons .= isset($form['delete']) ? drupal_render($form['delete']) : '';

  // Everything else gets rendered here, and is displayed before the admin form
  // field and the submit buttons.
  $output .= "  <div class="standard">\n";
  $output .= drupal_render($form);
  $output .= "  </div>\n";

  if (!empty($admin)) {
    $output .= "  <div class="admin">\n";
    $output .= $admin;
    $output .= "  </div>\n";
  }
  $output .= $buttons;
  $output .= "</div>\n";

  return $output;
}

What code did you set in your .module?

Hi,
I am trying to get openresort to upgrade from D5 to D6, and having problems with theming, see: http://drupal.org/node/290622#comment-2430344
I think it has also to do with theming..do I need to set: theme_node_business in template.php, and how do I call this then in my business.module?

Thanks a lot in advance for your reply!

Greetings, Martijn
