Hello
I am trying to build a url query string using node objects when a alter_form submit button is pressed. To do this I use a function called elertz_form_submit however I can't seem to read any of the node objects. I found out how to do it the form_alter by doing:
$node = $form['#node'];
$title= $node->title;
This does not work with my submit function.
Am I doing something very stupid?
Thank you
David
function elertz_form_alter($formid, &$form) {
$form['#submit']['elertz_form_submit'] = array();
return;
}
function elertz_form_submit($form_id, $form_values) {
$elertz_update_url = variable_get('elertz_update_url',"");
$webmaster_id = variable_get('elertz_webmaster_id',"");
$elertz_fire_password = variable_get('elertz_fire_password',"");
$elertz_notification_description = urlencode(variable_get('elertz_notification_description',""));
$schema_id = variable_get('elertz_schema_id',"");
$server_name = $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"];
$url = $server_name.'?q=node/'.$node->uid;
$node = $form_values['#node'];
$title= urlencode($node->title);
$elertzfirestring = $elertz_update_url
.'?webmaster_id='
.$webmaster_id
.'&password='
.$elertz_fire_password
.'&url='
.$url
.'&schema_id='
.$schema_id
.'&sms_txt='
.$elertz_notification_description
.'&notification_description='
.$elertz_notification_description
.'&title='
.$title
.'&where=title';
trigger_error($elertzfirestring);
file_get_contents($elertzfirestring);
return;
}

I wonder if you are trying to do this the hardway
The nodepai hook already provides methods for acting on nodes when they are submitted (among other things). Since the nodeapi hook has $node as a parameter this seems like it might provide an easer approach to what you are attempting to do.
i will investigate that
thank you
Hmm I am doing something daft here?
Hello I think i am on the right lines but not quite as when i am editing a node (story/page) and then submit the form returns 'Your has been created.' but nothing has actually happened. So i have broken my form it would appear!
Am i missing something obvious? I have been trawling the site for so long my eyes are burning!
Thank you
David
actually I was
using update seems to have fixed it
