There is a bit of magic for that form, the values in the form are
automatically
stored as Drupal variables use the form elements name plus the node type
So by using
'#default_value' => variable_get('scheduler_'.$form['#node_type']->type,
0),
the default value uses the previous stored value if available, otherwise 0.
The 'scheduler' comes from the form element name
($form['workflow']['scheduler'])
You can add new elements to existing field sets or add your own field set.

Hi List!
Maybe I just can't see the forest for the trees:
In scheduler.module (http://drupal.org/project/scheduler) in
scheduler_form_alter() the following code can be found (D6):
if ('node_type_form' == $form_id) {
$form['workflow']['scheduler'] = array(
'#type' => 'checkbox',
'#title' => t('Enable scheduled (un)publishing'),
'#default_value' => variable_get('scheduler_'.
$form['#node_type']->type, 0),
'#description' => t('Check this box to enable scheduled
(un)publishing for this node type.')
);
$form['workflow']['scheduler_touch'] = array(
'#type' => 'checkbox',
'#title' => t('Alter published on time'),
'#default_value' => variable_get('scheduler_touch_'.
$form['#node_type']->type, 0),
'#description' => t('Check this box to alter the published on
time to match the scheduled time ("touch feature").')
);
}
I am trying to understand this. I can't figure out how the values of
the two checkboxes get validated and persisted back to
"scheduler_story" and "scheduler_touch_story". Is there some magic
involved that guesses the variable names from $form['workflow']?
How would I add my own fieldset?
Thanks,
Eric
