I hope someone can help me because I'm rather tired of hacking away at this, trying to come up with a solution.

What I am trying to do is apply a theme to uc_product_add_to_cart; specifically, I need to control the placement of attributes in a node. I know there is a theme_uc_product_add_to_cart that I can easily override, but the problem is that a $node reference is passed into the theme function rather than a $form reference. In the default implementation, the theme function pulls the default rendering from drupal_get_form(). I can't seem to find a way to get in between hook_form _alter - which I have implemented with no trouble - and the rendering of the output for the form. Using hook_theme doesn't work because the form_id is different every time. I also tried setting $form['#theme'] in hook_form_alter, but that didn't work either.

I hope this makes sense. Does anyone have any ideas? I would really appreciate the help.

MK

Re: Themeing attributes via uc_product_add_to_cart

Well, first of all, I didn't realize there was a uc_attribute_add_to_cart theme. Still, I need to theme the entire add to cart form. I also didn't realize that the #theme attribute had to refer to a function defined in hook_theme().

So, in case anyone else does a similar search and comes across this post, here's what I did.

First, hook_theme():

<?php
function my_module_theme() {
    return array(
        'add_to_cart_form' => array(
            'arguments' => array($form => NULL),
        ),
    );
}
?>

Then, hook_form_alter(), with a check to make sure the containing node type was of the type containing the attributes I need to style.

<?php
function my_module_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
...
    if($form['#parameters'][2]->type == 'my_type') {
        $form['#theme']  = 'add_to_cart_form';
    }
}
?>

And, finally, my theme function, complete with form elements and product attributes.

<?php
function theme_add_to_cart_form($form) {
...
}
?>

Do you still need help with this? Let me know. The missing piece may be that you have to create your own module.

Re: Re: Themeing attributes via uc_product_add_to_cart

Does the following have to go in template.php?

<?php
function theme_add_to_cart_form($form) {
...
}
?>

Or can you put this somewhere in your module?

I'm trying to package up a module for distribution, and I really don't want users to have to override add a theme function to their theme just to use it.

Thanks for the help!

Can this get finished?

Someone has asked for step by step instructions for this yet the forum doesn't not have them
People come to this thread looking for an answer. The answer is there and 3 cheers for you for putting it out there.
However it's not understandable by many. FInishing it would be awesome!

Re: Themeing attributes via uc_product_add_to_cart

Has anyone come across a step-by-step on this? I really need to customize some attribute elements, but I'm struggling to get my brain wrapped around this.
