how to change weight of event repeat ?

Is it correct to assume you are talking about the weight of the event repeat field set in the node form? As I see it, the field set is just under event module's form elements. Please let me know what configuration you have where it is in the wrong place. It sounds like the issue is that you different weights on some CCK elements, but because eventrepeat is a nodeapi element, it does not have the option to change the weight?

You can always change the weight of that element in the theme, if that would help.

You can check out http://api.drupal.org/api/4.7/file/developer/topics/forms_api.html for more information about theming a form page. Scroll down to the "Theming Forms" heading near the bottom of the page and look at point 2.

Your theme override function in template.php would probably look something like this:

<?php
function phptemplate_whateveryournodetypeis_node_form($form) {
  $form['eventrepeat']['#weight'] = whateveryouwantittobe;
  $output .= form_render($form);
  return $output;
}
?> 

I haven't tested this, so you might have to play with it.

You should be able to also create a phptemplate_eventrepeat_form function, but I'm not sure that this will stay a theme_ function as opposed to an internal (non-theme) function. You probably shouldn't use that.

Otherwise, if this should be a feature of the module, let me know.

No problem. I'll leave this open for the time being, while we discuss the next steps for eventrepeat. At the very least, a simple "weight" setting seems like it will be useful.

And sorry about that form_render call. It was from 4.7 and was replace with drupal_render.

Finally, just to be precise, the "$output .=" might give you a php warning if you did not declare $output beforehand.

Cheers!

I'm having a bit of difficulty with this.

I have a template.php file that I'm using to declare additional regions.

So I added this to the file:

function phptemplate_event_node_form($form) {
  $form['eventrepeat']['#weight'] = -2;
  $output .= drupal_render($form);
  return $output;
}

But obviously I'm doing something wrong, as the weight has not changed.

Any ideas?

I'm running 5.1 with events and event repeat. I'm using the basic event module to create my events.

Thanks!

jsimonis,

I added a "This was themed" message in there and that worked. then I changed the weight to 20, and it moved the fieldset down. Looking at the surrounding elements, event start and event end have a weight of -15 and -14, and title has a weight of -5. You might not be noticing a big difference between -2 and -12. Consider putting a print_r($form); in your phptemplate_event_node_form function to see what it is doing.

Let me know if it works for you.

I might be missing something obvious here, but I can't seem to find the event_weight variable setting in either the 5.x-1.0 or HEAD (which I believe is 5.x-2.x) versions of the event module. I'm obviously missing something obvious. Any hints are welcome.

As an alternative, would everyone prefer a simple option in the settings page to set the weight?

Would a configurable weight for eventrepeat be a good way to go?

Need to look at how the weight field is setup in the current code.

Thanks
Robert
