Actually, I have everything working as I need it for my required functionality, except for the display of the title as an editable text field. I can save the data in my table and reorder the items using the default nodequeue functionality just fine; it's just the display of the field as a textfield which is causing the problem (see http://drupal.org/node/653574 for details). My reason for trying to use a #theme function for this field was that it appears that the div that is put around the form item in theme_form_item (being called through hook_form_alter) was what was causing the display problem, so I was going to remove it by overriding theme_form_item for that field. I don't think overriding theme_nodequeue_arrange_subqueue_form would work, since the div that is causing the problem is introduced in hook_form_alter. Unless I change the field type in there.... Hmmm... All I need is to get the display of the field working properly; everything else is working as I need it. I'm so close I can taste it... Thanks. Steve Ezra B. Gildesgame wrote:
It seems like you're touching on a relatively common feature for Nodequeue: Displaying fields from the nodes while changing the subqueue order.
3rd from the top of the Nodequeue issue queue is http://drupal.org/node/299111, which has an example from one developer that might be helpful if it's applicable to Nodequeue 6.x. It's probably easier easier to just theme the whole nodequeue_arrange_subqueue_form (we have theme_nodequeue_arrange_subqueue_form) and tweak the presentation of this field there, since much of the node object is available as part of the form.
Ultimately though I think the best and most re-usable solution for your apparent end goal is what's proposed at http://drupal.org/node/568100 -- Implementing the Nodequeue ordering interface as a Views style plugin. Then we could display any field with Views support and non-developers could customize the interface for their use case (photo gallery, album mp3 track listing, etc).
For the question about how #theme works, it might be helpful to checkout drupal_render(), which checks for $element['theme'], print out the lone argument passed to your custom theme function, and/or see http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api_reference.html....
Cheers,
Ezra
