Alternative storage and retrieval mechanism for custom forms.
How does it work?
The most common use-case is to use Hub in a custom form in your
administration UI. You can do this by return hub_closure(). The
hub_closure() function will handle populating default values, as
well as display the data structures in the form element's
#description for priviledged users.
function mymodule_general_settings($form, &$form_state) {
$form['var1'] = array(
'#type' => 'text',
'#title' => t('Var 1'),
);
$form['var2'] = array(
'#type' => 'date',
'#title' => t('Var 2'),
),
$form['set1'] = array(
'#type' => 'fieldset',
'#title' => t('Set 1'),
);
$form['set1']['var3'] = array(
'#type' => 'checkboxes',
'#title' => t('Var 3'),
'#options' => array(
'op1' => t('Option 1'),
'op2' => t('Option 2'),
'op3' => t('Option 3'),
),
),
// .... etc.
// hub_closure() arguments are a unique name for
// your configuration object, and the form array.
return hub_closure(__FUNCTION__, $form);
}
You could also create arbitrary Hub configurations with hub_save().
$config = new stdClass();
$config->name = 'mymodule_security_settings';
$config->data = array(
'security_level' => array(
'anonymous' => 'low',
