dynamic - Drupal 7 : Best Practice for a Dynamic Select List in Drupal 7

Question

Drupal 7 中动态选择列表的最佳实践是什么？

1. 通过 UI 创建一个包含虚拟选项的字段，并使用 hook_form_FORM_ID_alter 覆盖选项

或

通过带有 hook_form 的自定义模块从头开始创建动态选择列表

或

不同的方法？

谢谢

Answer 1

您可以使用表单 API 的 #ajax (在 Drupal6 中它曾经被称为#ahah)来做到这一点。

以下是 Drupal 7 的示例(基于 Examples for Developers )，显示两个下拉列表，其中第一个下拉列表修改第二个下拉列表的选项列表:

文件来源mymodule.module:

<?php

/**
 * Implementation of hook_menu().
 * Registers a form-based page that you can access at "http://localhost/mypage"
 */
function mymodule_menu(){
    return array(
        'mypage' => array(
            'title' => 'A page to test ajax',
            'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
            'page arguments' => array('mymodule_page'),
            'access arguments' => array('access content'), 
        )
    );
}



/**
 * A form with a dropdown whose options are dependent on a
 * choice made in a previous dropdown.
 *
 * On changing the first dropdown, the options in the second are updated.
 */
function mymodule_page($form, &$form_state) {
    // Get the list of options to populate the first dropdown.
    $options_first = mymodule_first_dropdown_options();

    // If we have a value for the first dropdown from $form_state['values'] we use
    // this both as the default value for the first dropdown and also as a
    // parameter to pass to the function that retrieves the options for the
    // second dropdown.
    $value_dropdown_first = isset($form_state['values']['dropdown_first']) ? $form_state['values']['dropdown_first'] : key($options_first);

    $form['dropdown_first'] = array(
        '#type' => 'select',
        '#title' => 'First Dropdown',
        '#options' => $options_first,
        '#default_value' => $value_dropdown_first,

        // Bind an ajax callback to the change event (which is the default for the
        // select form type) of the first dropdown. It will replace the second
        // dropdown when rebuilt
        '#ajax' => array(
            // When 'event' occurs, Drupal will perform an ajax request in the
            // background. Usually the default value is sufficient (eg. change for
            // select elements), but valid values include any jQuery event,
            // most notably 'mousedown', 'blur', and 'submit'.
            'event' => 'change',
            'callback' => 'mymodule_ajax_callback',
            'wrapper' => 'dropdown_second_replace',
        ),
    );
    $form['dropdown_second'] = array(
        '#type' => 'select',
        '#title' => 'Second Dropdown',
        // The entire enclosing div created here gets replaced when dropdown_first
        // is changed.
        '#prefix' => '<div id="dropdown_second_replace">',
        '#suffix' => '</div>',
        // when the form is rebuilt during ajax processing, the $value_dropdown_first variable
        // will now have the new value and so the options will change
        '#options' => mymodule_second_dropdown_options($value_dropdown_first),
        '#default_value' => isset($form_state['values']['dropdown_second']) ? $form_state['values']['dropdown_second'] : '',
    );
    return $form;
}

/**
 * Selects just the second dropdown to be returned for re-rendering

 * function, all we do here is select the element and return it to be updated.

 */
function mymodule_ajax_callback($form, $form_state) {
    return $form['dropdown_second'];
}

        'animals' => 'Names of animals',
    );
}


/**
 * Helper function to populate the second dropdown. This would normally be

 *

 */
function mymodule_second_dropdown_options($key = '') {
    $options = array(
        'colors' => array(
            'red' => 'Red',
            'green' => 'Green',

    if (isset($options[$key])) {

    }
    else {
