OK, got this taken care of, and in quite a painless way. The reason I was trying to use a theme function was because I (mistakenly) thought that getting rid of the divs put around the added form element was causing the problem. Actually, the display problems are caused by the margin and padding settings for the tabledrag handle, which cause the fields to combine together. Since the handle is simply added to the first column on the page, I just added an empty column at the beginning of the table in my override of theme_nodequeue_arrange_subqueue_form. Thus, the tabledrag handle gets put in the empty column by itself, and everything lines up nice and neat.

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
