'How to update filefield_sources settings when adding new field through hook_form_alter in Drupal 7
I am trying to add a new field to an existing content type using form_alter, using below code I am able to have the field display on the form
function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
$form['new_product_field'] = array(
'#type' => 'file',
'#attributes' => array(
'class' => array(
'field-type-file',
'field-widget-file-generic',
),
),
'#title' => t('New product field'),
'#description' => t('Description for this new product field'),
);
}
On an existing field, I can run below code and that updates the below 3 settings.
But how do I get those same settings set on the field that I am creating above though the form_alter?
$field_instance = field_info_instance('node', 'field_existing_field', 'resource');
$field_instance['widget']['settings']['filefield_sources']['filefield_sources']['upload'] = 0;
$field_instance['widget']['settings']['filefield_sources']['filefield_sources']['attach'] = "attach";
$field_instance['widget']['settings']['filefield_sources']['source_reference']['autocomplete'] = 0;
field_update_instance($field_instance);
