I was wondering how I could implement the hook_form, in order to create a form within the Drupal generated form. Can I add php in the <mymodule>_form or does Drupal offer ways here?
Here it certainly sounds like you want hook_form_alter. You have a Drupal generated form and you can add stuff to it.
Here is my case. I am creating a module that stores nodes with several textfields. One of the fields is mandatory and should contain a url. The user must be able to search for the urls by posting keywords to an web service. When the result comes back the user must be able to select a url which is then stored in the right field. after that, the user is able to add some text and then submit the form the Drupal way.
Is it possibly an idea to make this field a special CCK (text/url) field with appropriate widget? From what I understand, above, it is a two stage process - so take this example: the node_reference field with the http://drupal.org/project/popups_reference addition (if I recall correctly it makes a jquery 'pop up' for creating the node which it then uses to populate the node reference field). ekes - --- http://drupal.org/user/10083 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkputxcACgkQR9het8OQC6VkjgCeIr2lomJ62HsgiCrNzWH6NyGM baUAni5WEye2Mtxl3QqgHlsfj8UOhKP0 =xDkR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
