    And in the example, we altered a form to make sure users did not use the password,
  • 0:16
    password, 12345, or love, and it was a hard-coded array that we created.

    we actually want to make a configuration form

    so administrators can add to, augment, or change that list.

We don't see the form_set_error message!
You should add a 'Comment' tab next to 'Reviews'

Tutorial is good, Although in the end I couldn't print out the error message that suppose to come from form_set_error(). I could also not see the result in the video. I might need to download the module files that attached here, but it seems that I followed all of the guidance in the tutorial. Anyway, The tutorial itself is great and I've learned a lot from it. Thanks.
