Layout a form in drupal from a module

Question

I created my own module called "cssswitch". I am trying to create my own html layout to display part of the module admin module. I understand how to use hook_form_alter () to change form elements, but I need to create an entire form layout so that some fields appear next to each other. It seems I need something like the way I have the appearance of a node displayed using theme_cssswitch_display (), but for the administrative part of node.

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

    switch($form_id) {  

        case 'cssswitch_node_form':
            $form['hour_start']['#prefix'] = '<div class="start-box">';
            $form['ampm_start']['#suffix'] = '</div>';
            $form['ampm_start']['#attributes'] = array("style" => "border-width:2px;");
            break;
    }

}

function cssswitch_theme() {

    return array(
      'cssswitch_display' => array(
        'arguments' => array('node'),
      ),

    );

}

// to display the view of the node
function theme_cssswitch_display($node) {

  $output = '<div class="cssswitch-cssfilename">Filename: '.
    check_plain($node->cssfilename). '</div>';
  $output .= '<div class="cssswitch-time_start">Start: '.
    check_plain($node->hour_start). ':'.check_plain($node->minute_start).' '.check_plain($node->ampm_start).'</div>';

  $output .= '<div class="cssswitch-time_end">End: '.
    check_plain($node->hour_end). ':'.check_plain($node->minute_end).' '.check_plain($node->ampm_end).'</div>';    

  return $output;
}

thanks for any help

Answer 1

Now I figured it out. My hook_theme:

function cssswitch_theme() {

    return array(
      'cssswitch_display' => array(
        'arguments' => array('node'),
      ),

      'cssswitch_node_form' => array(
        'arguments' => array('form' => NULL),
        'template' => 'cssswitch-node-form.tpl.php',
      ),

      );

}

/garland/cssswitch - node -form.tpl.php , :

<style>
#edit-hour-start-wrapper, #edit-minute-start-wrapper, #edit-ampm-start-wrapper, #edit-hour-end-wrapper, #edit-minute-end-wrapper, #edit-ampm-end-wrapper {
    float:left;
    margin-right:25px;
}
</style>
<div id="regform1">

<?php print drupal_render($form['title']); ?>
<?php print drupal_render($form['cssfilename']); ?>

    <fieldset class="group-account-basics collapsible">
        <legend>Time Start</legend>
        <?php print drupal_render($form['hour_start']); ?>
        <?php print drupal_render($form['minute_start']); ?>
        <?php print drupal_render($form['ampm_start']); ?>
    </fieldset>

    <fieldset class="group-account-basics collapsible"><legend>Time end</legend>
        <?php print drupal_render($form['hour_end']); ?>
        <?php print drupal_render($form['minute_end']); ?>
        <?php print drupal_render($form['ampm_end']); ?>    
    </fieldset>
</div>

<?php print drupal_render($form['options']); ?>
<?php print drupal_render($form['author']); ?>
<?php print drupal_render($form['revision_information']); ?>
<?php print drupal_render($form['path']); ?>
<?php print drupal_render($form['attachments']); ?>
<?php print drupal_render($form['comment_settings']); ?>
<?php print drupal_render($form); ?>
