Thanks for a great tutorial, your example in step 2 lists records by “$str .= theme_table($header, $row);
“.
1. Now if we simply add “$str .= theme(‘pager’, NULL, $limit, 0);”, we’ll get a paginated listing.

2. With this paginated listing how can we add check boxes (array) with all the records and a delete button on top/bottom of listing to perform a bulk delete operation?

Thanks

Thanks, great tutorial!

I tried to test it in my page but I did not succeed.

I try to explain the best i can, my english is bad.

I work in a web page of dentinsts profiles (CCK content type with a lot of fields), I need to show a button at the edit form which set the status of node to 0. But I want to show a confirm form before. I do not get it to work with a button submit.

Thank you.

@ admin Thanks. Multistep isn't working well for me, the code is too deep. But I guess I shall have to choose between them.

@ Matthew Slater
Hi Matthew,

I understand your question. I’m not sure we can achieve your requirement through confirm_form. But you can try Drupal Multi-step forms. You can create first step form for input and second step form for confirmation. Some useful links.

2. http://jeff.viapositiva.net/drupal/dynamic-forms

You can also Google for more information.

Thanks for this clear tutorial, there’s not much to be found on this subject. My question is, how do you get to confirm_form from a previous form submission, rather than from a link?
I have a complex form which I want to summarise on the confirmation page, and I don’t want to pass all the form fields using callback arguments.

@andy
drupal_get_form takes the form_id and process it and return the rendered form for display. Here we are passing ‘doctor_delete_confirm’ form in drupal_get_form. You can investigate more about it here http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_get_form/6.

Yes, we are retrieving the doctor details with delete and confirm button with the help of ‘%doctor_user’. doctor_user_load is a wild card load function and take the 3rd parameter from URL (in this case doctor_id). Then we pass the ‘$doctor’ object with complete doctor detail into doctor_delete_confirm function. When user confirm his/her action we retrieve the doctor_id from this object and delete the doctor detail from database. Hope this reply is helpful.

Thanks man,
It was really helpful for me. I have a question, what does
drupal_get_form contains ? are you going to retrieve the doctor details along with delete and confirm buttons in this page or any thing else..

How do you have the confirm form appearing below the list of doctors? My confirm form page reloads into a new page.
