However, I would like to know how can we set the weight of new component so it wil be located correctly on the form without using the theme dev. tools.

I want to create a simple form with 2 text fields: fname and lname, and a submit button and reset button. And I want them to show in a table format with 3 rows: first row include 'First name' and a textbox, second row will be similar to the first row. Finally, third row is a submit button in the middle. Where do i start? I have read a lot but none of the completed work as yours. Thanks a lot Hi Chris,

Thanks a lot Chris. I am new with drupal and I need something like this to walk me through the programming schematic. I also found out that you can use node post to view TOC. like this: // add the textarea that will hold our text $node = node_load(363); $node = node_prepare($node); $form['terms']['terms_text'] = array( '#value' => $node->body, ); Just Sharing.

It's easy to understand for newbies like me. BTW, just wondering let's say that I added a drop down field in the user registration page, and I would need to update the user_profile and send email to the admin based on the value of that drop down field. Is it possible? Cos I'm not sure where the form would go after the user clicked on "submit" in the registration page. And where will my drop down value be stored in.

If you are only overriding the #value of the submit button, it shouldn't change anything else (validations, submit callbacks, etc.). Are you sure you haven't overridden other parts of the form? I'd be happy to look at your code. Hi Arnold – Thanks for posting. If you are only overriding the #value of the submit button, it shouldn’t change anything else (validations, submit callbacks, etc.).

I'm in the process of modifying the user_register form on our site as we speak, we're adding a survey to the process (which can also be accessed in other places), and it's just nice to see someone adopt the same approach as me (the only thing I haven't done yet is write an Admin screen to view the results of the survey). Just about to try and implement your element validation pointers, I'm in need of overriding the default validation and I think that's what I need! Hi Chris,
