If you need your module to add a fieldgroup to your Drupal 7 site, follow this quick and easy process: Also, if you’re looking to create fields, see this related post.

1. Build the fieldgroup through the “manage fields” UI.
2. Modify the code below to include a proper $fieldgroup_name, $entity_type and $bundle_name. I needed to add a field to the user profile, so I set the $entity_type to “user” and the $bundle_name to “user”.
   
   PHP

   $fieldgroup_name = ''; // e.g., group_author_info $entity_type = ''; // e.g., node $bundle_name = ''; // e.g., story include_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/utility.inc'; $group = field_group_load_field_group($fieldgroup_name, $entity_type, $bundle_name, 'form'); $group_var = '$' . $fieldgroup_name . ' = ' . substr(drupal_var_export($group), 9) . ";\r"; $group_var = preg_replace("/ 'id'.*,\n/", '', $group_var); // remove the ID property $group_var = preg_replace("/ 'export_type'.*,\n/", '', $group_var); // remove the export_type property $output = $group_var . 'field_group_group_save($' . $fieldgroup_name . ');'; drupal_set_message("<textarea rows=30 style=\"width: 100%;\">" . $output . '</textarea>');
