Well I have tried and tried to use form_alter in every way I could think of and in ways that others have but the code is just ignored or goes to error; function profilecloud_form_alter($form_id, &$form) { $category = 'Medlemskonventet 2006'; if ($form_id == 'user_edit') { $alteration = array('#description' => t('ALTERED!!!!')); $form[$category]['edit-profile_matchmaking_2006'] = array_merge($form[$category]['edit-profile_matchmaking_2006'], $alteration); } } produces a array merge error. $form[$category]['edit-profile_matchmaking_2006'] is not recognized as an array and forcing it returns no changes. To get it to change this works. But the result is another complete form with a change within the original form. function profilecloud_form_alter($form_id, &$form) { $category = 'Medlemskonventet 2006'; if ($form_id == 'user_edit') { $alteration = array('#description' => t('ALTERED!!!!')); $form[$category]['edit-profile_matchmaking_2006'] = array_merge($form[$category], $alteration); } } Carl Mc Dade <carl_mcdade@yahoo.com> wrote: I am adding a markup field to a Profile form but only want the field to show after a certain textarea. The idea is to use the links in the markup field to enter text in the textarea above it. I have set in the working code and have no problem with it but am questioning the fact that hardcoding this in seems to be the only way. Is there a way of doing this using the FormsAPI? a grouping syntax? Something like show this field only if a related field is present? Is there a hook for FormsAPI that would help?
