Form API How to add fields to a core form

drpratten - November 15, 2006 - 21:25

My new 5.0 module needs to add text and a field to a core form (from user.module). Could someone please point me to some examples of this being done?

The form API docs say that it is possible to alter core forms using a hook, but I have been unable to find any examples or explanation.

Your assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks

David

You're in need of hook_form_alter,

I don't have any handy examples for adding a field, only a simple redirect:

You might look into logintoboggan, as it uses hook_form_alter to modify the login form and has been updated for 5.0 already.
