hook_forms
Definition
hook_forms()
contributions/docs/developer/hooks/core.php, line 763
Description
Map form_ids to builder functions.
This hook allows modules to build multiple forms from a single form "factory" function but each form will have a different form id for submission, validation, theming or alteration by other modules.
The callback arguments will be passed as parameters to the function. Callers of drupal_get_form() are also able to pass in parameters. These will be appended after those specified by hook_forms().
See node_forms() for an actual example of how multiple forms share a common building function.
Return value
An array keyed by form id with callbacks and optional, callback arguments.
