覆盖用户编辑个人资料表格

Question

Im using theme_user_profile_form($form) and putting in the line

unset ($form['timezone']);

But it doesnt remove that item from the page

I try:

theme_preprocess_user_profile_form

but it doesnt appear to work.

All I want to do is remove some portions of the user profile edit form, such as theme select, timezone etc

Answer 1

The easiest way to do it, is to use hook_form_alter . This needs to be in a custom module and not in your theme.

Answer 2

The best thing is that you have to do that hook form alter, but do the unset in the after build of the form ie

function example_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
   $form["#after_build"][] = "example";
}

function example($form, &$form_state) {`
    //dpm($form); /*devel module dependency for looking for the correct object*/
    //unset
    return $form;
}
