dr:validate_settings
On 2005/11/06:
22:02 osinet I was wondering about admin/settings/<module> ....
22:03 osinet is there something equivalent for this form to what hook_validate provides for node forms ?
osinet to ensure users applying inconsistent settings can't store them.
osinet I mean: to ensure admins applying inconsistent settings can't store them.
22:04 osinet because as I see it, currently, hook_settings can warn about the error but not prevent it
chx osinet: return system_settings_form('node_configure', $form);
22:06 chx osinet: call_user_func($form_id . '_validate', $form_id, $form_values);
chx osinet: any more questions?
22:07 osinet chx: looking into it. Function has no behaviour documentation at http://drupaldocs.org/api/4.6/function/system_settings_form but I'm looking at the examples provided.
chx osinet: this has nothing to do with system_settings_form
osinet chx: ah ? this is the function you just gave ?
chx osinet: _any_ form can have a $form_id .'_validate' and system_settings_form's first param is form_id
22:09 osinet chx: ok, I'll try to understand this
chx osinet: so if you are calling system_settings_form('mymodule_foo', $form);
chx then you want mymodule_foo_validate
osinet chx: actually, system_settings_form has only one param and you're using two of them ?
22:12 chx function system_settings_form($form_id, $form) {
chx // $Id: system.module,v 1.251 2005/11/03 19:33:37 dries Exp $
osinet chx: oh, sorry, I forgot to mention I was using 4.6, not head
22:14 osinet chx: I take it that means I should not it down for a next version of my module, and not try to do it for 4.6.x ?
chx you can try
chx but i can't help
osinet chx: thanks anyway. At least, I'll have an idea how to do it when I rewrite for 4.7
