Hi All,

hook_form_alter()

You mention a preview button... Are you developing a custom content type?

I've never tried it myself, but I think it should be possible to use hook_form_alter() to remove the buttons. To remove the buttons simple use unset($form['the_button_name']);

If all you need is to get rid of the preview button, you can disable the need for preview somewhere in the settings (I don't remeber exatly where...).

the preview button cannot be disabled in adminsiter -> post settings.
however, It can be set to be optional or required, but in the end the button will still show even though it can be bypassed.

Hooking form_alter to disable form buttons

You can disable some button changing the #disabled attribute. Example to disable 'Delete' button on node edit:

function MODULE_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {

  switch ($form_id) {

    case 'TYPE_CONTENT_node_form':
      $form['delete']['#disabled'] = true;
      break;
  }
}

If you prefer hide the button:

unset($form['delete']);

At your module or another one. form_alter is a global hook: http://api.drupal.org/api/5/function/hook_form_alter

This is exactly right. The form name that you'll want to hook for custom node types is NODETYPE_node_form, where nodetype is the key of the array you return in hook_node_info().
