Question

When I press the delete button on some content, I’m taken to a confirmation page. The delete option is a button, while the cancel option is a link. That looks pretty weird. I found that there’s a form_confirm() function in drupal, but I can’t understand how to use it. Does anyone know how to make the cancel link into a button?

Answer 1

Or this using no javascript (and replacing eregi() with preg_match()…

  if ( $form['#theme'] == 'confirm_form' ) {
    $no = $form['actions']['cancel']['#value'];
    if (!is_null($no)) {
      // Get the text to put on the cancel button
      $value = preg_replace('/(<\/?)(\w+)([^>]*>)/e', '', $no);
      preg_match('/href\s*=\s*\"([^\"]+)\"/', $no, $href);
      $form['actions']['cancel']['#value'] = '';
      $form['href']=array(
        '#type'=>'value',
        '#value'=>$href[1],
      );

      // Add our own button
      $form['actions']['docancel'] = array(
        '#type' => 'submit',
        '#name' => 'cancel',
        '#submit' => array('mymodule_confirm_form_cancel'),
        '#value' => $value,
      );

    }
  }

and

function mymodule_confirm_form_cancel(&$form,&$form_state) {
  $href=$form['href']['#value'];
  if ( !is_null($href) ) {
    $form['#redirect']=$href;
  }
}
