One aspect of the FAPI drives me mad: mod_a_ form_alter() { // wants to do something based on what is in the form } mod_b_form_alter() { // adds something to the form which would potentially trigger something in mod_a } The only way to get this to work is by tweaking the weight in the system table. Yuck. There is no way that we will ever resolve all the ordering problems with our hook based system--- they plague every hook we have. --BUT-- Other hooks have help by passing an $op and calling the hook more than once. Perhaps form_alter needs an $op { 'add', 'process' }. Or we need two hooks: hook_form_additions hook_form_alter I predict that the ordering problem in form_alter will become acute very soon. Many people are just waking up to the possibilities the new FAPI holds. cheers, Robert
