I dont know if im asking the impossible, but i want to have a tab in my user edit area that houses all blog related items (ie blog theme, blog info, user blogroll) as opposed to them being inside the user/%/edit and user/%/edit profile.
Im putting together a multi-user site and this is crucial for user-friendliness.
Thanks for any ideas!
Nothing is impossible with Drupal, but doing this would be a challenge.
With hook_form_alter you can alter any form you want. The code for this would have to go to a custom module. Then you would have to recreate the form, with a page callback, and handle the validation and submission. You can probably recreate the code from the modules that create the forms in the first place.
Alternative, you can just leave the settings at user/%/edit and other places, and just create a special form with all blog relevant info. That way the users choose where to edit their info. It will probably be a better choice, since the "blog settings" that's location at user/%/edit, will be more tied to the user, than to the blog. So when a user wants to edit some of his personal details, that's when he would want to edit those blog settings as well.
Your specific might be different, but the default setup is usually a very good default.
Yes, of course, sorry...
for example using the following, I get the form, but no function
function blog_theme_menu() { $items = array(); $items['user/%user/blog_settings'] = array( 'title' => 'Blog Settings', 'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form', 'page arguments' => array('blog_theme_select'), 'access arguments' => array('access content'), 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK, );
return $items; }
function blog_theme_select() {
global $user;
$form = array();
$form['themes'] = array(
'#type' => 'fieldset',
'#title' => t('Your blog theme configuration'),
'#description' => t('Selecting a different theme will change the look of your own blog for both yourself and other visitors.'),
'#collapsible' => TRUE,
'#theme' => 'blog_theme_select_form'
);
if (user_access('select different blog theme')) {
foreach (list_themes() as $theme) {
if ($theme->status) {
$enabled[] = $theme;
}
}
}
if (count($enabled) > 1) {
ksort($enabled);
}
foreach ($enabled as $info) {
// For the default theme, revert to an empty string so the user's theme updates when the site theme is changed.
$info->key = $info->name == variable_get('theme_default', 'garland') ? '' : $info->name;
$info->screenshot = dirname($info->filename) .'/screenshot.png';
$screenshot = file_exists($info->screenshot) ? theme('image', $info->screenshot, t('Screenshot for %theme theme', array('%theme' => $info->name)), '', array('class' => 'screenshot'), FALSE) : t('no screenshot');
$form['themes'][$info->key]['screenshot'] = array('#value' => $screenshot);
$form['themes'][$info->key]['description'] = array(
'#type' => 'item',
'#title' => $info->name,
);
$options[$info->key] = '';
}
$form['themes']['blog_theme'] = array(
'#type' => 'radios',
'#options' => $options,
'#default_value' => !empty($edit['blog_theme']) ? $edit['blog_theme'] : ''
);
$form['submit'] = array('#type' => 'submit', '#value' => t('Save'), ); $form['#weight'] = 2.5; $form_to_return['blog_theme_select'] = $form; return $form_to_return; }
I also have another alternative which i will post following this
the alternative was to create a new module based onthe chgpwd module and copy the user/%/edit form into a new tab and then hide the feilds you dont want.
Again, I was able to do this and have the forms function, but i wasnt able to hide the unwanted forms..
