In this case, no, I'm creating a sort of 'uber' form that based on previous selections displays a different node/add form to the user. My original plan was to gather all the elements of all the node forms, set them to unrequired, and display them either in a multistep process, or via ajax reveals onclick of the previous elements.
I am going to spend some time taking a look at ctools, and if I don't find what I need there, move on to just creating my own form elements. Thanks. On Thu, 14 Oct 2010, Domenic Santangelo wrote:
Would hook_form_alter()'ing the node/add form you're operating on not work for your purpose?

Basically, I want it after all the hook_form_alters ave happened, but I want the array, not the html drupal_render generates? I'm working on a custom form that I want to potentially create several nodes. I could just manually create the same fields and then deal with the submit, but it seems to me that they must already exist *exactly* how I want them anyway. Currently I have the following: function my_form($form, &$form_state) { $my_form = array(); // Some fields added to $my_form... $fake_node->type = 'my_content_type'; $node_form = node_form(&$form_state, $fake_node); $form = array_merge($node_form, $form); //More fields added to $my_form... return $form; } However, that just gives me the standard node fields, not the CCK fields that exist in my_content_type. Thanks in advance if anyone can help. Sam Tresler 646-246-8403
