Change fieldgroup type programmatically [#1370914]

Hello,
thank you for this wonderful module.
I have setup a Profile2 with Fieldgroups using multistep, and it works like a charme. I use it for guiding my users to compile their profile during their first login (like facebook's "First Steps").

What I would like to achieve, after the user has setup his profile, is to turn the fieldgroups from a multistep to a vertical-tab (or horizontal-tab) display.

How could I do this programmatically in a custom module, or template?

Thank you again!

You can use the hook 'field_group_pre_render_alter to modify all the groups at once.
The element to render will be given as param, and #groups will be as key in the element.

In the #groups array, you can modify the format_type and format_settings from every group.

My form is normally set up with a group of vertical tabs. For anonymous users I want to change this to multipage.

My use of hook_field_group_pre_render_alter() is mostly working, but the resultant page shows all of the multipage panes laid out, one after another, and no previous/next buttons.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

function mymodule_field_group_pre_render_alter(&$element, $group, &$form) {
  if ($form['uid']['#value'] == 0) {
    if ($element['#type'] == 'vertical_tabs') {
      $element['#type'] = 'multipage';
      $form['#groups'][$group->group_name]->format_type = 'multipage-group';
      field_group_pre_render_multipage_group($element, $group, $form);
    }
    if ($element['#type'] == 'fieldset') {
      $element['#type'] = 'multipage_pane';
      $form['#groups'][$group->group_name]->format_type = 'multipage';
      field_group_pre_render_multipage($element, $group, $form);
    }
  }
}

I'm looking for the same functionality...

I'm using the Profile2 module for additional user fields. I have a profile2 profile type displayed during registration and have made it a multipage form using fieldgroup, but after registration, I would like it to all be on one page when users go back and edit this profile.

Can anyone provide some more info on how to achieve this? Thanks!
