<?php
function theme_test_form($form) {
  $output = '';
  $output .= drupal_render($form['name']);
  $output .= '<div id="foo">';
$output .= drupal_render($form['age']);
  $output .= '<div class="messages">';
  $output .= drupal_render($form['details']);
  $output .= '</div></div>';
  $output .= drupal_render($form);
  return $output;
}
function test_form($form_state) {
  // Access log settings:
  $form['firstname'] = array(
    '#type' => 'textfield',
    '#title' => t('First Name'),
    '#size' => 30,
    '#maxlength' => 64,
    '#description' => t('Enter Name'),
    '#required' => TRUE,
  );
  $form['age'] = array(
    '#type' => 'textfield',
    '#title' => t('Age'),
    '#size' => 30,
    '#maxlength' => 64,
    '#description' => t('Enter the Age'),
    '#required' => TRUE,
  );

$form['place'] = array(
    '#type' => 'textfield',
    '#title' => t('Place'),
    '#size' => 30,
    '#maxlength' => 64,
    '#description' => t('Enter place'),
    '#required' => TRUE,
  );
  $form['hidden'] = array('#type' => 'value', '#value' => 'is_it_here');
  $form['submit'] = array('#type' => 'submit', '#value' => t('Save'));
  return $form;
}

function test_page() {
  return drupal_get_form('test_form');
}

function test_form_validate($form, &$form_state) {
  /*if ($form_state['values']['firstname'] == '') {
    form_set_error('', t('You must enter your name.'));
  }
  if ($form_state['values']['age'] == '') {
    form_set_error('', t('You must enter your age.'));
  }*/
}
function test_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
  db_query("INSERT INTO {new_form} (name, age) VALUES ('%s', %d)", $form_state['values']['name'], $form_state['values']['age']);
  drupal_set_message(t('Your form has been saved.'));
}
print test_page();
?>

i used the code from the http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api.html/6 and the form gets displayed and everythings working fine .but the theme_test_form is not working even if i have added the corresponding css in theme.css file. IS there any additional work to be done for css to get applied or theme change to get applied..

Thanks,
Pradeep

Hey Pradeep, You need to add

Hey Pradeep,

You need to add $form['#theme'] = 'test_form'; This tells the functions that process the form to call theme_test_form

Adding theme to custom form...

Posted by arunms on November 10, 2009 at 2:36am

Hi Pradeep/Gene:
I added the #theme attribute to the form, but still couldn't get the form to call the theme function. Is there any additional step involved in calling the custom theme function.

Thanks.

Have you registered the theme

Have you registered the theme function in hook_theme()?

Have the same problem.

Implement hook_theme() in

Posted by prakashp on November 23, 2010 at 9:10am

Implement hook_theme() in your module.

<?php
function yourmodule_theme() {
  return array(
    'test_form' => array(
      'arguments' => array('form' => NULL),
    ),
  );
}
?>
