How to place markup after the submit button in drupal 7

drupaldrupal-7drupal-modules

goal : I want to place a text after the submit button using hook_form_alter.

Below is my code but if I use the weight key in the array then its postion does move in the form but not below the submit/save button. What can I do for it to go below the save button ?

$xdmp_twoshow="text";

$form['previewxdmp'] = array(
'#type'=>'markup',
'#markup'=>$xdmp_toshow,
'#weight' => 35,
 );

Each element can have a #prefix and #suffix property which will place text/HTML immediately after the rendered output. With that in mind you can simply attach a suffix to the existing submit button like so:

$form['submit']['#suffix'] = '<p>Some text to place after the submit button</p>';

Obviously the location of the submit button within the $form array might be slightly different depending on the form you're altering.

How to access form data in hook_form_validate() in drupal 7

It's best practice to use hook_form_validate, just for validation purposes, anything other than validation should be done in hook_form_submit.

Either way they both function almost the same way.

All the form data is stored in $form_state['values'], so to access $form['questions'] values, just use $form_state['values']['questions'].

Drupal 7 – auto submit form after file upload with managed_file type

@Clive That wasn't an option for me since I wanted the users to start the upload themselves. You answer gave me some ideas though and I came up with the following solution.

Drupal.behaviors.fileUpload = {
    attach: function(context, settings) {
        jQuery("body").ajaxComplete(function(event,request, settings){
            // Only do something when on the orders page of a user
            // This is where I use the upload functionality
            if(window.location.pathname.match(/user\/\d+\/orders/)) {
                // Check if the AjaxComplete was triggered by the managed file upload
                // pdf_upload_XXX is my form name
                // Get the form-build-id from the URL
                if (form_build_id = settings.url.match(/file\/ajax\/pdf_upload_\d*\/(.*)$/)) {
                    // Check if the upload has completed by checking if there is a Delete button in the form that has the form-build-id
                    if(jQuery('[value="'+form_build_id[1]+'"]').closest('form').find('[id$=remove-button]').length) {
                        // Click the submit button
                        jQuery('[value="'+form_build_id[1]+'"]').closest('form').find('[id^=edit-submit]').click();
                    }
                }
            }   
        });

    }
}

Hope this is usefull for other users also.

Thnx Clive for setting me on the right path.
