I created a node type module and write a form for it. Can I remove or just hide the default form part which are called 'Menu settings', 'Comment settings', 'Authoring information' and 'Publishing options'?
Comments
For most people they should not show.
Unless you give most people 'administer nodes' they should not see those sections of the edit form. User 1 will always see them and you want that to be true. At some point you will want to change that information for some post for some reason.
thanks
thanks~ :)
I add a button called 'back' in the form. But it is in middle of the default collapsed part. I mean that there are two collapsed fieldsets before the button and two after it. Althought I set the weight of it to 1000. the result is same.
why?

Can you post the code that alters the form
Can you post the code that alters the form, it could make it easier to help you find a solution.

Found the "problem"
The placement of your button has to do with the way the node module builds the content forms. One of the steps they do is theme the form with theme_node_form() which places those elements you see after the 'back' button on the at the end regardless of the weight of other elements. To change this behaviour you can add the following function to your themes template.php file (if there is no existing template.php file create one and add the function)
function phptemplate_node_form($form) {
$output = "\n<div class=\"node-form\">\n";
if (isset($form['node_preview'])) {
$output .= form_render($form['node_preview']);
}
// Everything else gets rendered here, and is displayed before the admin form
// field and the submit buttons.
$output .= " <div class=\"standard\">\n";
$output .= form_render($form);
$output .= " </div>\n";
$output .= "</div>\n";
return $output;
}
This will render the form has defined. Preview should work but I did not test that.
