Displaying Field_A from Module_A as read-only in Module_B

[hadoob024]

Not exactly sure how to do this. In Module_A, I have Field_A. I need to display Field_A as read-only in the editviewdefs.php in Module_B. How do I do this (I have a few ideas in mind but am looking for a preferred method)? Thanks!

make in module_b a non-db field, put it on editviewdefs and then use logic_hook to fetch data from module_a into that field before showing it on editview

Got it. Makes sense. So it would be a "relate" type, correct?

Well since you are showing this field as read-only and value for it is filled from logic hook, make it a simple text field

Got it. That makes sense. I wasn't aware you could create non-db fields that can be of any type. I thought that they had to be either "relate" or "link". Thanks for clearing that up!
