Input Filters

Drupal Input Filters Part 2: The Content Switch-a-roo

Where were we?

Ok, last time we looked at the ideas behind Input Filters in Drupal, so we covered Input Formats, how to configure them and what they can do for you. Now we get the real good stuff; how to make one.

Drupal Input Filters: How they work and why you should use them.

Input Filters are a great feature of Drupal. They can be very useful. They allow you to:

  • Modify the output of a user's submission without changing their input (one of Drupal's golden rules)
  • Hide complicated code to do clever things

What do I mean by these things? well, allow me to explain.
