Drupal: customizing the look of WorkFlow module

Question

Workflow module adds a workflow box to Edit node screen. This box contains a list of available States for this node and also such extra-options as:

" Schedule: Immediately Schedule for state change at: "

I don't want to confuse users with abundance of options and want to remove the last two (date related). Where should I customize this look of Edit screen and hide these fields?

Answer 1

The hook_form_alter hook can be used to modify the appearance of any Drupal form.

Here's a little pseudocode to get you started.

<?php

function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
  if($form_id == 'id_of_the_form') {
    unset($form['field_you_want_to_hide']);
  }
}

Answer 2

You can disable the workflow scheduling on the Permissions page. On admin/user/permissions uncheck "schedule workflow transitions."
