I am trying to put together a module which will have it's own configuration page. For that purpose, I am using the following code as my menu page-callback:
function webform_customizations_customize() {
$form = array();
// Text field for the e-mail subject.
$form['webform_customizations']['user_warn_e-mail_subject'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Warning e-mail subject'),
'#description' => t('The subject of the e-mail which will be sent
to users.'),
'#size' => 40,
'#maxlength' => 120,
'#required' => TRUE,
);
$options = array('A', 'B', 'C');
$form['test'] = array(
'#type' => 'radios',
'#options' => array(
'one' => t('one'),
'two' => t('two'),
),
'#title' => t('roles that should see a minimal webforms setting area'),
'#title_display' => t('testing'),
);
$form['high_school']['tests_taken'] = array(
'#type' => 'checkboxes',
'#options' => drupal_map_assoc(array(t('SAT'), t('ACT'))),
'#title' => t('What standardized tests did you take?'),
'#states' => array(
'visible' => array(// action to take.
':input[name="student_type"]' => array('value' => 'high_school'),
),
),
);
return $form;
}
My problem is my attempts to display checkboxes are failing. The first field shows a textfield successfully. But the next two are checkboxes which never show on my configuration page - and the tests_taken checkbox code is lifted directly from this drupal doc page without any amendments.
I tried a single checkbox and that works.
You should have read the comments that were along with the code you took:
// This #states rule says that this checkboxes array will be visible only
// when $form['student_type'] is set to t('High School').
// It uses the jQuery selector :input[name=student_type] to choose the
// element which triggers the behavior, and then defines the "High School"
// value as the one that triggers visibility.
Simply remove the #states element, and it should work.
Happy drupaling!

I am building my first Drupal 7 module and am having trouble with the screen to edit a fieldable entity. I am using field_attach_form and it is working great for all accept one field which is displaying the field default rather than the current content of that field for that entity.
I have a text field, a number field, a number of Boolean fields and the one list_text field which is failing.
Any ideas what I a doing incorrectly? Code below is what I think is needed but please do let me know if you need more.
Code to create the field in hook_enable:
if (!field_info_field('field_available')) {
$field = array (
'field_name' => 'field_available',
'type' => 'list_text',
'settings' => array(
'allowed_values' => array('No', 'Provisionally', 'Yes'),
),
);
field_create_field($field);
Code to create the instance, also in hook_enable:
if (!field_info_instance('appointments_status', 'field_available', 'appointments_status')) {
$instance = array(
'field_name' => 'field_available',
'entity_type' => 'appointments_status',
'bundle' => 'appointments_status',
'label' => t('Available?'),
'required' => TRUE,
'default_value' => array(array('value' => 'No')),
'description' => t('Set to No if appointments with this status make this slot unavailable, Provisionally means that it will only reserve a space temporarily'),
);
field_create_instance($instance);
This entity has only the one bundle with the same name as the entity.
The code to create the URL in hook_menu:
$items['admin/appointments/appointments_statii/%/edit'] = array(
'title' => 'Edit appointment status',
'description' => 'Edit the parameters of the selected status code',
'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
'page arguments' => array('appointments_status_edit_form',3),
'access arguments' => array('access administration pages'),
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
);
The form function is:
function appointments_status_edit_form($form, &$form_state) {
// Get the status id from the form_state args
$status_id = $form_state['build_info']['args'][0];
// Load the chosen status entity
$status = entity_load_single('appointments_status', $status_id);
// Set up the fields for the form
field_attach_form('appointments_status', $status, $form, $form_state);
$form['submit'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => 'Save changes',
'#weight' => 99,
);
return $form;
}
I have used the Devel module's dpm to check that the data is loaded correctly by entity_load_single and it is.
Thanks
Rory
I have answered my own question!
I was also programmatically loading some entities and was not loading this field with the numbers that a list_text field stores, instead I was loading the visual text.
I used a metadata wrapper and the code looked like this:
$w_appointments_status->$appointments_availability= 'Yes';
I changed it to:
$w_appointments_status->$appointments_availability = 2;
In this example 'Yes' was the third allowed value - hence 2.
So the code in my question was in fact correct although I have since added 'widget' and 'formatter' parameters to the instance.
I am sorry if this got some of you scratching your heads thinking ' but that code is correct'!!
Regards

How can I add a custom configuration area to a node edit form just beneath the Authoring Information & Publishing Options section?
You can use hook_form_FORM_ID_alter().
Example below:
function my_module_form_node_form_alter(&$form, $form_state) {
// if you are targeting a specific content type then
// you can access the type:
$type = $form['#node']->type;
// Then
if ($type == 'my_content_type') {
// use a contact settings for the sake of this example
$form['contact'] = array(
'#type' => 'fieldset',
'#title' => t('Contact settings'),
'#weight' => 100,
'#collapsible' => TRUE,
'#collapsed' => FALSE,
);
// add simple checkbox to the field set
$form['contact']['approve'] = array(
'#type' =>'checkbox',
'#title' => t('Contact me'),
);
}
}
Now For storing the data I encourage you to see the examples project; it has many code examples with lots of documentation.
Also, Check the Form API for more information on different types of form elements.
Hope this helps.
The follow code generates the last menu in the attached image:
$form['barclays_epdq'] = array(
'#type' => 'fieldset',
'#access' => TRUE,
'#title' => 'Barclays ePDQ',
'#collapsible' => TRUE,
'#collapsed' => TRUE,
'#group' => 'additional_settings',
'#weight' => 100,
'barclays_epdq_active' => array(
'#type' => 'checkbox',
'#title' => 'Enable this webform to send users to your Barclays ePDQ store to make a payment',
'#default_value' => $active_state,
),
);
ps: the form is in hook_form_alter
Hi being a newbie to drupal , kindly guide how to add a new user , i know user module with user_save can be used but how and where to implement it ?
Do i have to write this function in submit handler of my custom form below-
function registerme_newform($form, &$form_state)
{
$form = array();
$form['account details'] = array(
'#type' => 'fieldset',
'#title' => t('Account Details'),
'#description' => t('Enter Personal Credentials'),
);
$form['account details']['first name'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('First Name'),
'#default_value' => t('Be sure of your first name'),
'#attributes' => array(
'onblur' => "if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Be sure of your first name'}",
'onfocus' => "if (this.value == 'Be sure of your first name') {this.value = ''}"
, ),
);
$form['account details']['last name'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Last Name'),
'#default_value' => t('Be sure of your last name'),
'#attributes' => array(
'onblur' => "if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Be sure of your last name'}",
'onfocus' => "if (this.value == 'Be sure of your last name') {this.value = ''}"
, ), );
$form['account details']['email'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('E-Mail'),
'#required' => TRUE,
'#default_value' => t('Email acts as username.Dont forget it!'),
'#attributes' => array(
'onblur' => "if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Email acts as username.Dont forget
it!'}",
'onfocus' => "if (this.value == 'Email acts as username.Dont forget it!')
{this.value = ''}"
, ),
);
$form['account details']['password'] = array(
'#type' => 'password',
'#title' => t('Password'),
'#maxlength' => 60,
'#size' => 60,
'#required' => TRUE,
'#description' => t('Password should be atleast 6 characters long.'),
);
$form['home'] = array(
'#type' => 'fieldset',
'#title' => 'Home Address',
'#description' => t('Enter Personal Residential Credentials')
);
$form['home']['street'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => 'Street Address',
);
$form['home']['city'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => 'City',
);
$form['work'] = array(
'#type' => 'fieldset',
'#title' => 'Work Address',
'#description' => t('Enter Official Address')
);
$form['work']['street'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => 'Street Address',
);
$form['work']['city'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => 'City',
);
$form['submit'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => t('Register Me'),
);
return $form;
}
function registerme_newform_validate(&$form, &$form_state)
{
if($form_state['values']['account details']['first name']=='Be sure of your first
name')
{
form_set_error('first name',t('Please enter your first name'));
}
}
function registerme_newform_submit(&$form, &$form_state)
{
dsm($form_state);
}
Also would like to know how will values be entered in database , i mean how will these custom fields be added to database? Kindly guide thanks.
First of all please check if the first name is allowed user name. I recommend you providing another field to enter username as its not uncommon that username is already used by somebody else. Then also check that there are no users registered with the given email address.
function registerme_newform_validate(&$form, &$form_state) {
if($form_state['values']['account details']['first name']=='Be sure of your first
name') {
form_set_error('first name',t('Please enter your first name'));
}
// TODO: Provide user with a chance to enter a name ( drupal user name )
// Also do the following two checks and report an error.
// check using user_load_by_name($form_state['values']['account details']['first anme'])
// check using user_load_by_mail($form_state['values']['account details']['email'])
}
Next in your submit function map the form values to an array that could be passed to user_save as shown bellow. If you want to know exactly how other fields map, use the devel module to inspect the structure by vising an already existing user profile.
function registerme_newform_submit(&$form, &$form_state){
$new_user = array(
// The below name field must be unique.
'name' => $form_state['values']['account details']['name'],
'pass' => $form_state['values']['account details']['password'],
'mail' => $form_state['values']['account details']['email'],
'init' => $form_state['values']['account details']['email'],
'field_first_name' => array(LANGUAGE_NONE => array(array('value' => $form_state['values']['account details']['first name']))),
'field_last_name' => array(LANGUAGE_NONE => array(array('value' => $form_state['values']['account details']['last name']))),
// Map all the extra fields to user objects as shown above.
...
'status' => 1,
'access' => REQUEST_TIME,
'roles' => $roles,
);
// $account returns user object
$account = user_save(null, $new_user);
//after user_save you can use the following code to send notification email.
drupal_mail('user', 'register_no_approval_required', $account->mail, NULL, array('account' => $account), variable_get('site_mail', 'noreply#mysite.com'));
}
I have implemented a different approach to this problem. I created an entity form (https://drupal.org/project/entityform)
where I prompt for key user information. I have also installed the profile2 module allowing me to create alternate profiles. When the form is submitted it triggers a rule. That rule allows me to create the user, create a linked profile and then send an email to the administrator with a link to the new user entry allowing them to review and activate.
A nice alternative if you dont want to solve via PHP or want to create additional content on creation.
For some reason my allowed_values_function never gets called when showing a field on a user bundle. Code:
function get_business_units()
{
$options = entity_load('business_unit', FALSE, NULL, FALSE);
$opt = bu_to_list_values($options);
return $opt;
}
function MYMODULE_enable()
{
if (!field_info_field('field_user_business_unit')) {
$field = array(
'field_name' => 'field_user_business_unit',
'type' => 'text',
'settings' => array(
'allowed_values' => array(),
'allowed_values_function' => 'get_business_units',
)
);
field_create_field($field);
// Create the instance on the bundle.
$instance = array(
'field_name' => 'field_user_business_unit',
'entity_type' => 'user',
'label' => 'Business Unit',
'bundle' => 'user',
'required' => FALSE,
'settings' => array(
'user_register_form' => 1,
),
'widget' => array(
'type' => 'options_select',
),
);
field_create_instance($instance);
}
}
The field is created, and even displayed on the users "edit" page when editing their info. But the only value is "Select" or "None". My method is never called (I even placed a debug point). This is all in MYMODULE.install file.
The problem is: 'type' => 'text'.
You have to use: 'type' => 'list_text'.
Allowed values is meaningless for a text type.
Your get_business_units() function needs to be in the MYMODULE.module file; the .install files aren't included in a normal Drupal bootstrap.
Have you tried
drush features-revert MYMODULE ?
I am attempting to create a node/content type in drupal, accordingly I have a .info, .install and .module file at minimum.
The module is created fine and I am able to enable/disable it from the module administration page, also, Drupal is able to recognize this module as a content type and it appears when I click 'Add content' in the Content menu.
Everything works fine, but it does not show the form elements, rather it starts directly at
The form element code is listed below:
function newNode_form($node,&$form_state)
{
$type = node_get_types('type',$node);
$form['title']= array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => check_plain($type->title_label),
'#default_value' => !empty($node->title) ? $node->title : '',
'#required' => TRUE,
'#weight' => -5,
);
$form['field1'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Custom field'),
'#default_value' => $node->field1,
'#maxlength' => 127,
);
$form['selectbox'] = array(
'#type' => 'select',
'#title' => t('Select box'),
'#default_value' => $node->selectbox,
'#options' => array(
1 => 'Option A',
2 => 'Option B',
3 => 'Option C',
),
'#description' => t('Choose an option.'),
);
return $form;
}
Can anybody tell me what's wrong
P.S: Just F.Y.I: In my .install file, there exists only install and uninstall hook functions. I have yet to create DB tables, this content type is a walkthrough for me to create content type UI and not necessarily a full blown UI.
Drupal's hook system uses lower cases and under scores to dynamically load module functions.
<module name>_<hook_name>
Try declaring your function like this:
function new_node_form($node, &$form_state) {
...
