I'm trying to get my code for my comment form to work and I noticed that $form['action'] is set to the correct url. So I tried to used the following code in my form override (in template.php):

/**
 * Theme the comment_form!
 *
 */
 function phptemplate_comment_form($form) {
 $output = '';
 
 $form['#action'] = url('/comment/reply/test' .$nid); /* THIS CODE DOESN"T SEEM TO WORK */
 
 unset($form['_author']);
 unset($form['author']);
 unset($form['comment_filter']['comment']['#title']);
 unset($form['comment_filter']['format']);

 $output .= '<div class="comment-form">';
 $output .= '<div class="commentLabelBox">';
 $output .= 'Leave a comment:';
 $output .= '</div>';
 
 $output .= '<div class="commentText">';
 $output .= drupal_render($form['comment_filter']['comment']);
 $output .= '</div>';
 
 $output .= '<div class="commentBTNS">';
 $output .= drupal_render($form['preview']);
 $output .= drupal_render($form['submit']);
 $output .= '</div>';
 
 $output .= drupal_render($form);
 $output .= '</div>';
 
 return $output;
 
 }

So I've tried a number of different ways to get $form['#action'] set but it doesn't seem to 'take'. Can anyone shed some light on why this isn't working?

Thanks so much!

Don't do this at the theme level. Create a custom module that implement hook_form_alter and perform alterations before the form is rendered.

dropcube-

Thanks for the reply! I've been trying to get this to work in the module level, but Idon't think I'm using hook_form_alter correctly. I've installed my module and I added some simple code just to see if I can get it to work but I'm doing something wrong. Here's the code I've been messing with:

  function modulename_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {
    // A switch is used because you may want to alter more than
    // one form and it is easy to add a new case for each form.
    switch ($form_id) {
      // This is our form ID.
      case 'comment_form':
        // Our kickin' mods go here.
		$form['#action'] = '/comment/reply/test' .$nid;
        break;
  }
}

I got this code from a Lullabot article (http://www.lullabot.com/articles/modifying-forms-5-and-6) but it doesn't work like they say!

Any thoughts?

Thanks very much!

Ok.... now I see what I was doing. I basically had the wrong function name. So now I've got the function/module/form_alter working.... but when I try to post a comment I still get a 'page not found' error.

Does anyone know what the prober URL is suppose to look like when you preview a comment and when you post a comment? Is it something like: http://mydomain.com/comment/reply/$nid#$cid?

Thanks!

hook_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
if ($form_id == 'coment_form') {
$form['#action'] = url('virtualgrave/result');
}
}

Did you ever find a solucion for this?
I come from a securepages issue and same thing seems to be happening.

Doesn't work for me, the #action is always the old relative action.
I even tried the following code in my own module.

What am I doing wrong? Something in the configuration?
Is there something overwritting my action? I had login toboggan but it's disabled now.
Do I need to trigger the form rendering again after setting #action? In this case, how do I do this?

function tests_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
drupal_set_message('alter','info');
   if($form_id == 'user_login_block' || $form_id == 'user_login') {
    $form['#action'] = 'https://www.mydomain.com/mydirectory' . $form['#action'];
    drupal_set_message('alter login','info');
   }
}

I can see my messages when the form show up.
