I want to add a custom button to drupal create form so if the user clicked on it instead of submit button, the workflow state of the created object change to another state(not the default first state)
any suggestion?
To modify the default forms generated by drupal you have to add a form_alter hook to your module. You can do it by defining a function like modulename_form_alter assuming the name of your module is modulename. The drupal system passed the form array and the form_state array which you can use to override the default behavior. In your case, the complete function would look something like this.
function modulename_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
if($form_id == 'what you want') {
$form['buttons']['another_button'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => 'Add to another state',
'#submit' => array('modulename_custom_form_submit')
);
}
}
function modulename_custom_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
if($form_state['values']['another_button'] == 'Add to another state') {
//Do your thing
}
}
After you made the necessary modifications, you can simply submit to the default submit action of the creation form.

I am attempting to write a module that adds a button to a node type that, when pressed, will change a value of a field in that node and submit the changes. Everything seems to be working, as the button appears correctly and the node submits when it's pressed, but the value of the field remains unchanged. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
<?php
function iu_buttons_node_view($node, $view_mode, $langcode) {
if ($node->type == 'billing_entry') {
if ($node->field_status['und'][0]['value'] == 'open') {
$form = drupal_get_form('submit_button_form');
$node->content['submit_button'] = $form;
}
}
}
function submit_button_form($form, &$form_submit) {
$form['submit'] = array(
'#type' => 'button',
'#value' => ('Submit'),
'#submit' => array('submit_button_form_submit'),
);
return $form;
}
function submit_button_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
$node->field_status['und'][0]['value']['#value'] = 'submitted';
}
It's probably worth noting that the field I'm trying to change is a select list. Should I be using a different function than hook_form_submit?
I am assuming you are writing this code in a custom module named iu_buttons and you want to display this button in the node page, not in the node edit form.
In this case, the problem is that you never saved the node in your submit function. Here is a version of your submit function that will save the node.
function submit_button_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
$node = menu_get_object(); //get the current node
$node->field_status['und'][0]['value']['#value'] = 'submitted';
node_save($node); // save the changed node
}
I think you may be interested in saving only the field, without the need to save the whole node. In this case, you might use the following:
function submit_button_form_submit($form, &$form_state){
$node = new stdClass(); // Create empty object
$node->nid = intval(args(1)); // Include the nid so that Drupal saves the new value to the correct node
$node->field_status['und'][0]['value']['#value'] = 'submitted';
field_attach_update('node', $node); // Save the field
}
I needed to have all taxonomy vocabularies available to filter on, without adding all of the taxonomies one at a time.
I did this using the Content: Has taxonomy terms (Multiple) Filter - which renders out as a multiple select list.
I needed to change the select list to checkboxes, but BEF didnt allow me to do that for this type of field, so i did the following...
function MYMODULE_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
if ($form_id == 'views_exposed_form') {
$options = $form['filter']['#options'];
unset($form['filter']);
foreach($options as $vocab => $terms) {
foreach ($terms as $key => $value) {
$newkey = $options[$vocab][$key]->option;
$termoptions[$vocab][key($newkey)] = $newkey[key($newkey)];
}
$form[$vocab] = array(
'#type' => 'checkboxes',
'#options' => $termoptions[$vocab],
'#title' => $vocab,
'#multiple' => TRUE,
);
}
}
}
The exposed form looks good, but it doesnt work.
I think its because the name of the query is wrong. As i have split up the heirarchy into separate fields, the url used to look like
mysite.com/category?filter[]=123
Now it looks like...
mysite.com/category?Brand[123]=123
So theres how far ive got, any ideas how i can make this exposed form work?
I had a poke around at changing the submit handler views_exposed_form_submit but i dont know what i would need to change.
i am updating my ans once again for more clear view
step one expose filter
settings for this
click on settings text then
then gor for bef
and the result is
hope it make sense now
I would like to add a custom button to the wysiwyg editor in Advanced custom fields. I have not found any good solution on how to do it.
What I want is a button that wraps the selected text in <span class="someclass"></span> so that I can style this as I want.
How do I do this?
What you will need to do is tie into your TinyMCE editor buttons. This will add a format dropdown to your WYSIWYG editor for the class. You can then select your text and choose the class from the dropdown. Use text view to check to see if it worked.
/*
* Callback function to filter the MCE settings
*/
// Callback function to insert 'styleselect' into the $buttons array
function my_mce_buttons_2($buttons) {
array_unshift($buttons, 'styleselect');
return $buttons;
}
// Register our callback to the appropriate filter
add_filter('mce_buttons_2', 'my_mce_buttons_2');
function my_mce_before_init_insert_formats($init_array) {
// Define the style_formats array
$style_formats = array(
// Each array child is a format with it's own settings
array(
'title' => 'Some Class',
'inline' => 'span',
'classes' => 'someclass'
),
);
// Insert the array, JSON ENCODED, into 'style_formats'
$init_array['style_formats'] = json_encode($style_formats);
return $init_array;
}
// Attach callback to 'tiny_mce_before_init'
add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'my_mce_before_init_insert_formats');
I am trying to implement an AJAX callback to change a drop down list options based on the values of another drop down.I have looked into the examples online and the examples in the examples module. I am trying to implement the example on one of the admin pages forms.
To simplify, I tried to achieve the following: Just to change the title of the second dropdown with a random number once the first dropdown has changed. Please note that I am using a field collection field.
function myaction_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
$form['field_programme_permission']['und']['0']['field_programme']['und']['#ajax']=array(
'event' => 'change',
'callback' => 'programmes_ajax_callback',
'method' => 'replace',
'wrapper' => 'countries_wrapper'
);
$form['field_programme_permission']['und']['0']['field_countries']['und']['#title']=rand(1,100);
return $form;
}
function programmes_ajax_callback($form, $form_state) {
return $form['field_programme_permission']['und']['0']['field_countries'];
}
It is as if programmes_ajax_callback is not triggered at all. I see this Drupal AJAX please wait message but nothing actually happens. The weird thing, If I submit the form and it doesn't pass validation, I don't even see this Drupal AJAX "please wait" message. I have simplified the code as much as possible to try to pin point the problem, but it didn't work...
Any ideas?
The problem was caused by the fact that countries_wrapper didn't actually exist as I was actually calling it countries-wrapper somewhere else.
Find below the code that I have actually used. This code covers a muti-value (up to 10) field collection at which one field (countries) in the field collection is dependent on the other (programme). Hopefully, it will prove to be useful for someone.
function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
for($i=0;$i<10;$i++) {
if(($form_id=='user_register_form') || ($form_id=='user_profile_form')) {
if(isset($form_state['values']['field_programme_permission'][LANGUAGE_NONE][$i]['field_programme'][LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['tid'])) {
$programme_selected= $form_state['values']['field_programme_permission'][LANGUAGE_NONE][$i]['field_programme'][LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['tid'];
} else {
$programme_selected=0;
}
if(isset($form_state['field']['field_programme_permission']['und']['entity'][$i]->field_programme['und'][0]['tid'])){
$programme_selected=$form_state['field']['field_programme_permission']['und']['entity'][$i]->field_programme['und'][0]['tid'];
}
$form['field_programme_permission'][LANGUAGE_NONE][$i]['field_programme'][LANGUAGE_NONE]['#ajax']=array(
'event' => 'change',
'callback' => '_programmes_ajax_callback',
'method' => 'replace',
'wrapper' => 'countries_wrapper'.$i
);
$form['field_programme_permission'][LANGUAGE_NONE][$i]['field_countries'][LANGUAGE_NONE]['#title']='Countries';
$form['field_programme_permission'][LANGUAGE_NONE][$i]['field_countries'][LANGUAGE_NONE]['#prefix']='<div id="countries_wrapper'.$i.'">';
$form['field_programme_permission'][LANGUAGE_NONE][$i]['field_countries'][LANGUAGE_NONE]['#suffix']='</div>';
$form['field_programme_permission'][LANGUAGE_NONE][$i]['field_countries'][LANGUAGE_NONE]['#options']=_countries_ajax_callback($programme_selected);
}
}
return $form;
}
function _programmes_ajax_callback($form, $form_state) {
//we first need to know the triggering element, to know the index of the countries field that we need to affect.
$index= $form_state['triggering_element']['#field_parents'][2];
return $form['field_programme_permission'][LANGUAGE_NONE][$index]['field_countries'];
}
function _countries_ajax_callback($selected) {
$programme_value = $selected;
$options=array();
if(taxonomy_term_load($programme_value)){
$programme_taxonomy=taxonomy_term_load($programme_value);
if(isset($programme_taxonomy->field_countries[LANGUAGE_NONE])) {
$countries=$programme_taxonomy->field_countries[LANGUAGE_NONE];
foreach($countries as $country) {
$country_tid = $country['tid'];
$country_term = taxonomy_term_load($country_tid);
$country_name = $country_term->name;
$options[$country_tid]=$country_name;
}
}
}
return $options;
}
I want to add a new item into an existing form. I have the ID of the form and I know I need to use hook form_alter but not sure how to add it.
function modulename_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
switch ($form_id) {
case 'form id goes here':
// Need to do something here....
break;
}
}
Because the &$form variable is a reference, whatever you do to it changes the original value. so just add it to $form;
//After, need to do something here:
$form['my_new_field'] = array(
'#type' => 'select',
//etc..
);
//You can also add a new validation here:
$form['#validate'][] = 'my_valiation_callback';
