Disable field script

[wica]

Hey,

I've read all possibly related threads to my issue, but unfortunately i didn't find the answer.
My problem is: I need to disable field in Opportunities module Edit View according to current user (let's say it's next step field). I've made these changes:
1. \modules\Opportunities\views\view.edit.php - added new script:
$disable_script=<<<EOQ
<script>
document.getElementsByName('next_step')[0].disabled="disabled";
</script>
EOQ;


and use this code to call the script:
global $current_user;
$user=$current_user->user_name;
if($user!='grazina') $this->ss->assign('DISABLE_SCRIPT', $disable_script);

2. \modules\Opportunities\metadata\editviewdefs.php - added one line:
'javascript' => '{$DISABLE_SCRIPT}',

3. \cache\modules\Opportunities\EditView,tpl -- below {$PROBABILITY_SCRIPT} added one line:

<!-- Begin Meta-Data Javascript -->
{$PROBABILITY_SCRIPT}
{$DISABLE_SCRIPT}


So, everything works fine, the next step field is disabled when it's needed. But everything crashes, when I make some changes to Opportunities module via Studio. Then the line {$DISABLE_SCRIPT} disappears from \cache\modules\Opportunities\EditView.tpl (2).

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Any Help?

Instead of steps two and three, add the "form" key to the editviewdefs.php metadata for Opportunities as shown below. If you have already used Studio to customize the Opportunities layout, you will need to edit the custom/modules/Opportunities/metadata/editviewdefs.php file. This will survive further Studio edits.

     'templateMeta' => array('maxColumns' => '2',
                            'form' => array( 'hidden'=> '{$DISABLE_SCRIPT}' ),
                            'widths' => array(
                                            array('label' => '10', 'field' => '30'),
                                            array('label' => '10', 'field' => '30')
                                            ),
    'javascript' => '{$PROBABILITY_SCRIPT}',

dpatech, thanks a lot for your reply. I tried to make your suggested changes, However, after making changes via Studio to Opportunities module, these changes disappears and script doesn't work

[dpatech]

I tested this out on my system and had no issues. Perhaps I didn't invoke the proper Studio functions. What exactly are you doing within Studio? Also, are you sure you modified the custom/modules/Opportunities/metadata/editviewdefs.php file and not the modules/Opportunities/metadata/editviewdefs.php

Sorry, i've missed smth. After trying several times it works perfectly and no Studio changes affects the script.

Thanks a lot!
