Disable Field

[andrei756]

Hi

How can I set a field to disabled. The user shouldnt be able to change the information in that field. It should be able to display information though.

Regards
Andrei

You can edit the editviewdefs of your module, and the disabled field has to use the customCode attribute, making it display just the field value.

I checked that thread but I am not quite sure if there is a solution to what I need.

 'FIELD_NAME' => array(
  'name' => 'FIELD_NAME',
  'customCode' => '
      {if $fields.SOME_FIELD.value}
          <input type="text" name="FIELD_NAME" value= "{$fields.FIELD_NAME.value}">
      {/else}
            {$fields.FIELD_NAME.value}
       {/if}
  '
), 
  

I get the value for my field from a js file where I calculate the sum of some fields.

I dont have the time to check the devtoolkit. Looks complicated.

can you tell me what code needs to be put in the customCode attribute to display only the field value?

Thanks

 'FIELD_NAME' => array(
  'name' => 'FIELD_NAME',
  'customCode' => '{$fields.FIELD_NAME.value}'
), 
  

"FIELD_NAME" is the name of your field.

Another somewhat more upgrade-safe way to do this is to specify the 'disabled' attribute for the field using the displayParams parameter as shown below:

 'FIELD_NAME' => array(
  'name' => 'FIELD_NAME',
  'displayParams' => array('disabled' => 'disabled'))
),
