Drupal 7 Edit User Page Override

By luckyape on 16 Feb 2011 at 18:47 UTC

I need to override the 'user/%user/edit' page for a specific user role, say 'foo_role'. I have successfully created the new user registration form that explicitly selects the fields to be used in creating a new foo_role user however, because there are additional user fields not applicable to foo_role the edit page for this role is not correct.

This is my best attempt, but it fails:

function registermodule_form_user_profile_form_alter($form, &$form_state){
global $user;
if(in_array("foo_role", $user->roles)){
unset($form['field_non_foo']);
unset($form_state['field']['field_non_foo']);
}
return $form;
}

Doh!

The problem with the function was improperly passing of the $form arg - missing &

function registermodule_form_user_profile_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state)

I was having the same issue

Eventually got it working for no visible reason. Code remained the same. Hey ho.

function mymodule_form_user_profile_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  // do something (anything) so I know it's worked
  $form['terms_of_use'] = array(
    '#type' => 'checkbox', 
    '#title' => t("I agree with the website's terms and conditions."), 
    '#required' => TRUE,
  );
}
