See this code:

function civicrm_advanced_fee_register_form_page_two($form_state) {

civicrm_initialize();

$edit = $form_state['values'];
global $user;
$category = 'Name and Address';

$form = civicrm_form_data($edit, $user, $category, true );

$category = 'New Individual';
$uid = 0;
$ctype = civicrm_get_ctype( 'Individual' );
    $html = CRM_Core_BAO_UFGroup::getEditHTML( null, $category, null, false, $reset, null, false, $ctype );

$form['additional-1'] = array(
'#title' => $category,
'#value' => $html,
// '#weight' => 1,
);

    $form['back'] = array(
        '#type' => 'submit',
        '#value' => '<< Back',
        // '#weight' => 10,
    );

    $form['submit'] = array(
        '#type' => 'submit',
        '#value' => 'Submit',
    );
   
//    drupal_set_message('<pre>' . print_r($form, TRUE) . '</pre>');

return $form;
}
Basically, this is part of a customized event registration driven by Drupal forms.  I am successfully updating the contact record of this form with the code added on line 9, and I am trying to collect information for an additional participant with the html generated on line 14 and put into the Drupal form on line 18.  The problem is, the values entered in the New Individual profile end up updating the logged in user's contact record when it should instead be creating a new contact or updating an existing record with a matching e-mail address.

What do I need to do differently to make the profile form generated on line 14 to create a new record or find/update the record by e-mail address?

Bump - is this the right place to be asking this question?  Perhaps the CiviCRM blog or Confluence instead?  Thank you!

I'm now re-writing it to just pull a contact's information into standard Drupal form elements using the Civicrm API, and then to update the record through the API in the submit handler.  It does require an ahah callback and calls directly to CRM_Core_PseudoConstant::country() and CRM_Core_PseudoConstant::stateProvinceForCountry($country).  For the additional participants, I'll just create new contact records (it's impossible to know how to match them or if the main participant even has the right to register any existing contact) and let whoever else reconcile duplicates (there probably won't be that many).

The thing is I need things like a variable number of additional contacts depending on what someone selects in their event registration options.  I think that would preclude me from using a single webform node per event - I'd need to make multiple webforms to cover every possible number of participants, and that would be really messy.  I'm trying to make it easy for someone non-technical to create an event.

Does it also allow the admin to enter a complex fee structure based on length and lodging, calculate the fee automatically, and charge either a deposit or the full fee when someone signs up?

Did you use civicrm's payment system?  I'm needing to use Ubercart for its invoicing system, with some hooks into Ubercart's cart to allow for paying only a deposit upfront and then tracking how much is owed, and also to update the CiviCRM participant status once payment is received in full.  CiviCRM Accounting and Finance is unfortunately not ready yet, and I don't know if that will allow for deposit-only payments once it is.

What did you use to collect payments?  CiviCRM's contribution system?  Or did you write a miniature PayPal module for yourself or something along those lines?

I had no luck using a Drupal hook to add information to a Civi form.  I had to override the civicrm template.  Is there a way to do this from Drupal?  I suppose you could use drupal_add_js - but that doesn't degrade...
