Drupal hook_form_alter weight control

Question

Try to add some additional form items in the new content type add form.

Also try to increase the weight of submit and preview there.

function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id){
  //add some $form items here

  $form['actions']['submit']['#weight'] = 2000;
  $form['actions']['preview']['#weight'] = 2001;
}

But somehow the submit and preview buttons are still above the new items added there.

Answer 1

Try to add the #weight property to $form['actions'] wrapper.

Your current code changes the weight for the 2 buttons inside the actions wrapper, and doesn't affect the weight for the wrapper.

E.g. see the following code:

function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id)
{
    //add some $form items here

    $form['actions']['#weight'] = 2000;
}

Hope this works.
