Part of the companies marketing strategies focuses on digital communication and the interaction they will have with their followers on social networks. In a previous article, I talked about the need to have a clear strategy in these networks to obtain the results obtained by marketing, and the need to have a digital agency for this purpose.

Continuation of the Drupal modules for E-commerce benefits the management of various aspects for your website. Here is a list of the top 9 (broken into parts) modules you need to install

1. 5. Commerce Checkout Order Fields

   Commerce Checkout Order Fields exposes order form display modes as checkout panes, allowing you to collect additional order data during checkout. This e-commerce Drupal 9 module provides a new checkout form view mode on orders so that at least one checkout pane is available. Customizing the form display mode will expose those fields at checkout. You can collect data like order comments, shipping notes, and more.

Form fields are very easy to manipulate through a form_alter in a module, however when we are dealing with fields created with CCK (Content Construction Kit) the story is a bit different because these fields are created at the end of the form construction, in such a way that any change that we need to make must be done between the construction of the form and the rendering.

#after_build

In the hook_form_alter we need to define the function to be executed after the form is built using the special element #after_build (http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api_reference…)

function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id){

...

$form['#after_build'][] = 'mymodule_after_build';

...

}
