1 form.inc | form_process_machine_name($element, &$form_state) |
Processes a machine-readable name form element.
Parameters
$element: The form element to process. Properties used:
- #machine_name: An associative array containing:
- exists: A function name to invoke for checking whether a submitted machine name value already exists. The submitted value is passed as argument. In most cases, an existing API or menu argument loader function can be re-used. The callback is only invoked, if the submitted value differs from the element's #default_value.
- source: (optional) The #array_parents of the form element containing the human-readable name (i.e., as contained in the $form structure) to use as source for the machine name. Defaults to array('name').
- label: (optional) A text to display as label for the machine name value after the human-readable name form element. Defaults to "Machine name".
- replace_pattern: (optional) A regular expression (without delimiters) matching disallowed characters in the machine name. Defaults to '[^a-z0-9_]+'.
- replace: (optional) A character to replace disallowed characters in the machine name via JavaScript. Defaults to '_' (underscore). When using a different character, 'replace_pattern' needs to be set accordingly.
- langcode: (optional) The two-character language code for the input language, with which transliteration will be used.
- error: (optional) A custom form error message string to show, if the machine name contains disallowed characters.
- standalone: (optional) Whether the live preview should stay in its own form element rather than in the suffix of the source element. Defaults to FALSE.
- #maxlength: (optional) Should be set to the maximum allowed length of the machine name. Defaults to 64.
- #disabled: (optional) Should be set to TRUE in case an existing machine name must not be changed after initial creation.
Return value
array: The expanded $element populated with defaults.
