Author Topic: modify user registration values on Drupal register form (Read 812 times)

Hi,

I am trying to modify a field which appears on the Drupal user registration form. In Drupal you can do this with hook_form_validate and form_set_value, setting the variable in the $form array.

But the array doesn't have the CiviCRM profile values in it. Instead, it just has a big piece of markup which makes the form values appear on the registration page.

Is there any way to get at the CiviCRM profile values in the Drupal register form? This was an unexpected setback for me, as I thought these values would be treated like any other Drupal profile fields. How are they processed and stored, and is there a hook to interrupt that process?

Might want to check:

CiviCRM being cross-CMS does not use drupal hooks / api / framework to do things

Thanks Lobo, but are you sure the Drupal registration form triggers a CiviCRM hook? If so, what's the name of the CiviCRM form to hook it by? It's on a Drupal page, not a CiviCRM page.

yes the civi hooks are also called. For rending a form, the buildForm and validate hooks should be called and when submitted the postProcess hook should be called

after the form is rendered, civi just returns a chunk of html to drupal, since that seemed to be the easiest interface to get civi form elements on the drupal page

Yep - I've got this working now. I was a little puzzled because 'print' in the hook didn't output anything (some kind of page refresh), but now I can see it's being called.

Thanks!
