replace modulename with some module name which you installed. and formidhere with form id in which you want to remove the things

Hi

What is the simplest way for me to discover the $form array key names for other fields in my node edit form ( the node contains CCK fields ) ?

Thanks

Dave

Install devel.module and use dpm($form) in your alter hook.

Unsetting fields can make the submit handler unhappy. If you really need to remove them and can't do it via permissions, you should use the #access property on each element instead.

function modulename_form_alter(&$form,$form_state,$form_id) {		
    switch ($form_id) {
        case 'formidhere':
            $form['author']['#access'] = FALSE;//remove authoring 
            $form['menu']['#access'] = FALSE;//remove menu options
            ...
    }
}

Hi rkdeveloper,

Now there are no unwanted fields on form.I'm just glad that I got it working. Thanks!

uh-- how about just setting the appropriate permissions -- only the items for which a user has permissions will show up in the node edit form. If you still need to manually unset some things, you can use http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_form_alter.
