Hi list,
Can I mix system form with a custom form in ctools form wizard, I wish
to create a wizard containing 1 node add form and 2 custom forms. I have
briefly looked at advanced help of form wizard and I think there would
be problem in dealing with _submit of node add form in module space. Has
anyone encountered this before? I am trying to create multistep form
with 1 node add form and 2 custom forms and ctools looks like the
cleanest way but not sure how would I get around the _submit handler
problem for node add form.
From ctools help:
" The primary difference between these forms and a normal Drupal form is
that the submit handler should not save any data. Instead, it should
make any changes to a cached object (usually placed on the $form_state)
and only the _finish or _return handler should actually save any real
data. "
Run in fear!
What you want to do is really really hard, especially when dealing with
nodes, because the node form is a *very* difficult workflow that is not
really open to being changed. I don't think the ctools wizard is going
to help you here. That said, at one point Nick Lewis was doing some work
trying to integrate form wizard into the node form, and he had some
success, but I haven't seen any movement there for a long time.
