+:02	osinet	I was wondering about admin/settings/<module> ....
+: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.
+: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', $form);
+:06	chx	      osinet: call_user_func($form_id . '_validate', $form_id, $form_values);
+      chx	      osinet: any more questions?
+: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
+:09	osinet	chx: ok, I'll try to understand this
+      chx	      osinet: so if you are calling system_settings_form('mymodule_foo', $form);
+      chx	      then you want mymodule_foo_validate
+      osinet	chx: actually, system_settings_form has only one param and you're using two of them ?
+:12	chx	      function system_settings_form($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
+: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
