drupal_get_form is not passing along node array
- by ElectronicBlacksmith
I have not been able to get drupal_get_form to pass on the node data. Code snippets are below. The drupal_get_form documentation (api.drupal.org) states that it will pass on the extra parameters. I am basing the node data not being passed because (apparently) $node['language'] is not defined in hook_form which causes $form['qqq'] not to be created and thus the preview button shows up.
My goal here is that the preview button show up using path "node/add/author" but doesn't show up for "milan/author/add". Any alternative methods for achieving this goal would be helpful but the question I want answered is in the preceding paragraph. Everything I've read indicates that it should work.
This menu item
$items['milan/author/add'] = array(
'title' = 'Add Author',
'page callback' = 'get_author_form',
'access arguments' = array('access content'),
'file' = 'author.pages.inc',
);
calls this code
function get_author_form() {
//return node_form(NULL,NULL);
//return drupal_get_form('author_form');
return author_ajax_form('author');
}
function author_ajax_form($type) {
global $user;
module_load_include('inc', 'node', 'node.pages');
$types = node_get_types();
$type = isset($type) ? str_replace('-', '_', $type) : NULL;
// If a node type has been specified, validate its existence.
if (isset($types[$type]) && node_access('create', $type)) {
// Initialize settings:
$node = array('uid' = $user-uid, 'name' = (isset($user-name) ? $user-name : ''), 'type' = $type, 'language' = 'bbb','bbb' = 'TRUE');
$output = drupal_get_form($type .'_node_form', $node);
}
return $output;
}
And here is the hook_form and hook_form_alter code
function author_form_author_node_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
$form['author']=NULL;
$form['taxonomy']=NULL;
$form['options']=NULL;
$form['menu']=NULL;
$form['comment_settings']=NULL;
$form['files']=NULL;
$form['revision_information']=NULL;
$form['attachments']=NULL;
if($form["qqq"]) {
$form['buttons']['preview']=NULL;
}
}
function author_form(&$node) {
return make_author_form(&$node);
}
function make_author_form(&$node) {
global $user;
$type = node_get_types('type', $node);
$node = author_make_title($node);
drupal_set_breadcrumb(array(l(t('Home'), NULL), l(t($node-title), 'node/' . $node-nid)));
$form['authorset'] = array(
'#type' = 'fieldset',
'#title' = t('Author'),
'#weight' = -50,
'#collapsible' = FALSE,
'#collapsed' = FALSE,
);
$form['author_id'] = array(
'#access' = user_access('create pd_recluse entries'),
'#type' = 'hidden',
'#default_value' = $node-author_id,
'#weight' = -20
);
$form['authorset']['last_name'] = array(
'#type' = 'textfield',
'#title' = t('Last Name'),
'#maxlength' = 60,
'#default_value' = $node-last_name
);
$form['authorset']['first_name'] = array(
'#type' = 'textfield',
'#title' = t('First Name'),
'#maxlength' = 60,
'#default_value' = $node-first_name
);
$form['authorset']['middle_name'] = array(
'#type' = 'textfield',
'#title' = t('Middle Name'),
'#maxlength' = 60,
'#default_value' = $node-middle_name
);
$form['authorset']['suffix_name'] = array(
'#type' = 'textfield',
'#title' = t('Suffix Name'),
'#maxlength' = 14,
'#default_value' = $node-suffix_name
);
$form['authorset']['body_filter']['body'] = array(
'#access' = user_access('create pd_recluse entries'),
'#type' = 'textarea',
'#title' = 'Describe Author',
'#default_value' = $node-body,
'#required' = FALSE,
'#weight' = -19
);
$form['status'] = array(
'#type' = 'hidden',
'#default_value' = '1'
);
$form['promote'] = array(
'#type' = 'hidden',
'#default_value' = '1'
);
$form['name'] = array(
'#type' = 'hidden',
'#default_value' = $user-name
);
$form['format'] = array(
'#type' = 'hidden',
'#default_value' = '1'
);
// NOTE in node_example there is some addition code here not needed for this simple node-type
$thepath='milan/author';
if($_REQUEST["theletter"]) {
$thepath .= "/" . $_REQUEST["theletter"];
}
if($node['language']) {
$thepath='milan/authorajaxclose';
$form['qqq'] = array(
'#type' = 'hidden',
'#default_value' = '1'
);
}
$form['#redirect'] = $thepath;
return $form;
}
That menu path coincides with this theme (PHPTemplate)
