[development] Adding to Profile forms - is hardcoding the only way?

[Carl Mc Dade]

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);
   }
 }

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? 


TIA
