I have a custom content type called events which has a few fields defined in it.
The field name is field_store_name. I can get all the options from these check boxes using this code:
$form['field_store']['und']['#options']
This is how I get the option(s) that are selected/checked. Is this the correct way of doing this?
$form_state['build_info']['args']['0']->field_store['und']
Thanks
When user submits form your custom submitter could be called.
To add custom form submitter to any form you should use:
/* Implements hook_form_alter(). */
function moduleName_form_alter($form, $form_state) {
// ...
$form['#submit'][] = 'moduleName_submitterName';
// ...
}
So in custom submitter you will have all submitted values under $form_state['values']:
function moduleName_submitterName($form, $form_state) {
dpm($form_state['values']);
}
This index will apper in $form_state array only when you submit form and will contain submitted values. $form array will still contain default values shown at form before you've changed them and submitted form.

An example of form submitter: https://www.drupal.org/node/717740.
hook_form_alter(): https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21system%21system.api.php/function/hook_form_alter/7
Value you need should be $form_state['values']['field_store]['und'][0].
I am trying to replace the title of the user profile page, which is the username, with other fields that were added later. Trying to show the full name as the title of the page.
I edited page.tpl.php $title with following code but it doesn't work.
if(arg(0)=="user")
{
$title=$field_user_last_name;
}
Install the RealName module and go to /admin/config/people/realname to change the pattern used for the user's name.
I'm using Profile2 to add the first and last name field and the following pattern:
[user:profile-person:field_first_name] [user:profile-person:field_last_name]
But you can probably add the fields at /admin/config/people/accounts/fields without using Profile2 aswell.
A cleaner way to do this:
function mymodule_page_alter() {
global $user;
if(drupal_get_title() === $user->name) {
drupal_set_title('New value');
}
}
You can accomplish this functionality nicely using the Entity API module's metadata wrapper and hook_user_view(). Add a dependency to Entity API in your module's .info file and then the code could look something like the following (assuming you want to set the title to the user's full name and you have fields called field_first_name and field_last_name):
/**
* Implements hook_user_view().
*/
function MYMODULE_user_view($account, $view_mode, $langcode) {
// Set the page title of the user profile page to the user's full name.
$wrapper = entity_metadata_wrapper('user', $account);
$first_name = $wrapper->field_first_name->value();
$last_name = $wrapper->field_last_name->value();
if ($first_name && $last_name) {
drupal_set_title($first_name . ' ' . $last_name);
}
}
I got solution!!!
I added following code on preprocess_page function on my template.php
if(isset($variables['page']['content']['system_main']['field_name'])){
$title=$variables['page']['content']['system_main']['field_name']['#object']->field_name['und'][0]['value'];
drupal_set_title($title);
}
in some content type form I added a checkbox. When this checkbox is checked I want to remove some of the submitted data.
To do so I created a custom module (my_module.module):
function my_module_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
// ...
$form['#submit'][] = 'my_module_form_alter_submit';
}
function my_module_form_alter_submit($form_id, $form_values) {
drupal_set_message(t('Submit Function Executed!'));
}
How can I tell this module to refer only to the form of a certain containt type? And how can I remove data when it is submitted?
Assuming you are altering a node edit form, you can either conditionally add the submit callback such as (in your hook_form_alter):
if(isset($form['#node']) && $form['type']['#value'] == 'page') {
$form['#submit'][] = 'my_module_form_alter_submit';
}
or, you could check the $form argument in the submit callback in a similar fashion.
You are missing the third argument to the hook_form_alter which should be $form_id, and your submit callback should take the arguments such as:
function my_module_form_alter_submit($form, &$form_state) { ... }

http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer%21topics%21forms_api.html/6
To remove data after the submit, in your form_alter function, just use unset() on the form field. unset($form['my-field']);
how can I run specific code when a form is submitted in Drupal ?
I'm using hook_form_alter to edit the form, but I actually need to collect the data inserted by user and run code when the user click on "Save / Register" etc
thanks
You can add callbacks to the submit array. It goes something like this:
function myform_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
if($form_id == 'some_form') {
$form['#submit'][] = 'mycallback';
}
}
function mycallback(&$form, &$form_state) {
// do stuff
}
Try adding the following function:
function myform_form_submit($form_id, $form_values){
print_r($form_values);
// custom code
}
worked for me. Hope it helps :)
I have a content type and I wish to edit the submit function. I thought the way you would do this would be as follows:
function moduleName_contentType_node_form_submit($form, &$form_state){
drupal_set_message(t('Test'));
}
I cleared the cached but the message is not being displayed on the screen. Am I doing this correctly or do I need to use form_alter? If so how would I do that?
In this case too you can use form alter, and add
$form['#submit'][] = 'your_sumbmit_callback';
or if you want to completely change the submit and do your own thing:
$form['#submit'] = array('your_submit_callback');
And obviously the callback function needs to be defined;
function your_submit_callback( $form, &$form_state) {
drupal_set_message('hello');
}
