HI, I have a field ( field_unit_price ) which I can hide with my little module here ( with unset ). That's fine.

In certain cases ( when there is a query string after the args - i.e. ?something=something&other=somethingelse ), I want to disable the field.

2 questions

In form_alter, how do I disable this field?
I've tried

$form['field_unit_price'][#disabled]=TRUE and $form['field_unit_price'][value][0][#disabled]=TRUE

and neither work.

Question #2 - How do I ask Drupal if there is a ?something ..... in the URL after the Args? Forgive my improper terminology ..

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Adam

For question 1, #disabled should be '#disabled' (notice the single quotes)

For question two you want to use arg(), given the path "node/123", arg(0) would return 'node' and arg(1) would return '123'.

does $form['field_unit_price']['#disabled']=TRUE work though ? i tried to disable a field f1 using 

  /**
   * Implementation of hook_form_alter().
   */
function testFA_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  Logger::le_function();
  Logger::debug_var("form_id", $form_id);

  if ($form_id == 'yvb1_node_form') {
    Logger::debug_log_message("Disabling field_f1");
    Logger::debug_var("field_f1", $form['field_f1']);
    $form['field_f1']['#disabled'] = TRUE;
  }

  Logger::ll_function();

} // function testFA_form_alter

and it did not disable it :(.
thx.

first of all you have to see the strusture of $form array
echo "

";
         print_r($form);
         exit;

          then add new attributes ['#disabled'] = TRUE into specific field

thx for the info. thats done long before.. check out the logger statement which sees the fields of $form. now if u have a field - f1. it'll create an array element - field_f1 .

as per the conversation above we tried it on the field. do u have a working snippet for it ?.

$output .= dsm($form); works better :)

tried a little experiment. added another form element to the cck using form alter.. 

  /**
   * Implementation of hook_form_alter().
   */
function testFA_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  Logger::le_function();
  Logger::debug_var("form_id", $form_id);
  Logger::debug_var("form", $form);

  if ($form_id == 'yvb1_node_form') {
    Logger::debug_log_message("Disabling field_f1");

    $form['field_f1']['#disabled'] = 1;
    $form['field_f3'] = array(
    '#title' => t('f3l'),
    '#type' => 'textfield',
    '#disabled' => TRUE,
    );
  }
  Logger::ll_function();
} // end of function testFA_form_alter

this added another textfield "f3" which was disabled, however it did not disable the field f1. so it looks like a vanilla form element can be disabled but not a cck field. any thoughts ?

thx.
