Need to change the way different parts of the Drupal interface appear for your current project? Here's a possible solution. Learn how to customize your site's interactions without hacking.

Many times in Drupal, you have users logging into the system and working with form fields. These form fields are added by both Drupal core and the contributed modules that you have installed on your site. But what if you want to change how they appear, the order in which they appear, prepopulate them with some default value of your own, or make them disappear altogether?

In this session we'll talk about building a simple custom module for your site where you specify what you want to change and how you want to change it. We'll be talking about the wonderful "hook_form_alter" and how much power you have when you realize it exists.

Prerequisites:
Attendees should know some PHP and should be prepared to discuss building a relatively simple custom Drupal module.
