Hello guys
I badly, need your help!

I have multiple textarea fields on a node form now each field needs a input format selection form and each field can have a different input format selection.

Now, I have been following Pro Drupal Development for it. It gives following code example:

function joke_form($node) {
  // Get metadata for this node type
  // (we use it for labeling title and body fields).
  // We defined this in joke_node_info().
  $type = node_get_types('type', $node);
  $form['title'] = array(
     '#type' => 'textfield',
     '#title' => check_plain($type->title_label),
     '#required' => TRUE,
     '#default_value' => $node->title,
     '#weight' => -5
  );
  $form['body_filter']['body'] = array(
     '#type' => 'textarea',
     '#title' => check_plain($type->body_label),
     '#default_value' => $node->body,
     '#rows' => 7,
     '#required' => TRUE
  );
  $form['body_filter']['filter'] = filter_form($node->format);

  $form['punchline']['field'] = array(
     '#type' => 'textarea',
     '#title' => t('Punchline'),
     '#required' => TRUE,
     '#default_value' => $node->punchline,
  );
  $form['punchline']['filter'] = filter_form($node->punchline_format);
  return $form;
}

But when I do print_r($node) in hook_insert filter for punchline does not show up there. Below is the out put from print_r($node) in hook_insert: 

stdClass Object
(
    [nid] => 
    [vid] => 
    [uid] => 1
    [created] => 1195113010
    [type] => joke
    [changed] => 
    [title] => JOKE TITLE
    [body] => JOKE BODY
    [format] => 3
    [field] => JOKE PUNCLINE  
    [log] => 
    [name] => admin
    [date] => 
    [status] => 1
    [promote] => 1
    [sticky] => 0
    [revision] => 0
    [preview] => Preview
    [op] => Submit
    [submit] => Submit
    [form_token] => cd54ca373b3915f3d12b8af4684ae28c
    [form_id] => joke_node_form
    [comment] => 2
    [menu] => Array
        (
            [title] => 
            [description] => 
            [pid] => 1
            [path] => 
            [weight] => 0
            [mid] => 0
            [type] => 86
        )

)

The punchline field shows up as 'field' and filter for punchline does not show up. I checked out filter_form() function and looks like I need to pass a value for $parent argument to it. But I am not sure how to do it.

PS: I added a field punchline_format in the joke table.

I would be great if anybody could suggest a correct method of doing this.

Thanks

Looks like this works and I am able to store punchline and punchline_format in joke table. But filters are not working.

function joke_form($node) {
  // Get metadata for this node type
  // (we use it for labeling title and body fields).
  // We defined this in joke_node_info().
  $type = node_get_types('type', $node);
  $form['title'] = array(
     '#type' => 'textfield',
     '#title' => check_plain($type->title_label),
     '#required' => TRUE,
     '#default_value' => $node->title,
     '#weight' => -5
  );
  $form['body_filter']['body'] = array(
     '#type' => 'textarea',
     '#title' => check_plain($type->body_label),
     '#default_value' => $node->body,
     '#rows' => 7,
     '#required' => TRUE
  );
  $form['body_filter']['filter'] = filter_form($node->format);
  
  $form['punchline']['field'] = array(
     '#type' => 'textarea',
     '#title' => t('Punchline'),
     '#required' => TRUE,
     '#default_value' => $node->punchline,
     '#tree' => TRUE, 
     '#parents' => array('punchline', 'field')
  );
  $form['punchline']['filter'] = filter_form($node->punchline_format, null, $parents=array('punchline','filter'));
  return $form;
}

I'm working on the same issue (using the same example from Pro Drupal Development). Did you finally get it to work? You said the filters weren't working, but I don't think filter_form is responsible for actually running the text through the filter ... maybe you have to manually do it in hook_view() ... but I haven't figured this out myself, seems like the authors left this bit out. Anyone care to comment?

Hi,

I just stumbled upon the same, and found the solution in the handbooks somewhere.
You are almost right: in hook_view() you should run your text through the check_markup() function (http://api.drupal.org/api/function/check_markup/5) for it to work.

So if you take the Pro Drupal Development 'punchline' example, you should change the following in theme_joke_punchline() function (see page 96 of the book)

  check_plain($node->punchline) .'<div><br />';

to

  check_markup($node->punchline, $node->format) .'<div><br />';

This does the trick!

I am really really sorry for leaving out this post. Actually, after I faced this problem, next day I had to take care of other project. So this thing completely went out of my mind.

Getting in touch with other devs , I found they solved they problem very next day by using the same method as shown by svendecabooter(from pro drupal development only).
