Hi,

I have used hook_form_alter to add some fields to the registration form, I am also wanting to redirect to a particular thank you page. I render the form in a theme function.

Brief code as follows

function mymodule_theme(){
  return array( 'myuserregisterform' => array( 'arguments' => array('form' => NULL) ) ) ;
}

function mymodule_form_alter( &$form, $form_state, $form_id ) {
  if ( $form_id == "user_register" ){
    $form['additionalfieldset1'] = fieldset and control arrays ;
    $form['additionalfieldset2'] = fieldset and control arrays ;
    $form['#theme'] = 'myuserregisterform';
    $form['#redirect'] = 'mythankspage' ;
  }
}
		
function theme_myuserregisterform( $form ){
  $html  = drupal_render( $form['additionalfieldset1' ] );
  $html .= drupal_render( $form['additionalfieldset2' ] );
  // render rest of form to get standard token and id
  $html .= drupal_render( $form ) ;
  return $html ;
}

Form rendering works perfectly as expected, however after pressing submit, the details are submitted and the user is registered, but the redirect does not kick in, I go to my home page. This only seems to have happened since adding in my own theme function for the form.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Keith

Not sure but I presume your form_state redirect would have been in your submit handler?

Drupal docs plainly state putting #redirect at the form level on construction or hook_form_alter.

Thing is, the redirect used to be in the hook_form_alter as it is now and was working perfectly.. this only kicked in when I added the theme_form function.

Am I not rendering something in there I should be?

I've run into the same problem as you describe and have been going around for a while trying to figure out what could be wrong with my theme function. Any tips you might have would be great. :]

Thanks.

Update: I found my issue. In my case I had been rendering only portions of my $form and I did not render the rest of my form. See below:

<?php
	$output .= drupal_render($form['order']);
	$output .= theme_table($table_header, $rows, array('width' => '100%'));
	$output .= drupal_render($form['submit']);
?>

So I added;

<?php
	$output .= drupal_render($form);
?>

To the last line and my redirect worked.

Hope this helps the next googler. :]
