Ok. So I took torgosPizza's advice and ran coder and now i have no error messages when I run it on my module here. (I'm using drupal 6 btw) BUT! when I enabled it I got an error message relating to line 13 which is the if ($form_id =='product_node_forum'){ part.
Here is the full code:
<?php
// $Id$
/**
* @file
* Module to hold my customizations to Ubercart
*/
/**
* Implementation of hook_form_alter()
*/
function skudisable_module_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id ) {
 if ($form_id == 'product_node_form') {
   $form['base']['model']['#required'] = FALSE;
 }
}
I am not strong at php yet. Could someone help me figure out why this won't work?
