enable field based on username?

[blitz2190]

i have a field that is disabled with javascript onload now i need it to be enable if the current user is the assigned user's manager which come from the "Report to" in user profile, now i can get the Reports to name and the current user but i can not enable it with a logic hook because the logic hook fires before the field is created any ideas

make a hiddenf ield in the form with users managers ID which you poplate on load in the beanand submit to the smarty Template and then also the users ID (same way) and enable it with JS which you also embed in the form which reads the resp. fields by their IDs and then enables the field if appropriate

Easy task ... christian.

i am able to get the user's manager id from sql but is there a smarty or bean that will enable me to do this

[blitz2190]

i put this in editviewdefs.php

'javascript' => '<script>
window.onload=function() 
{literal} { {/literal}
    var supervisor_id = <?php echo $manager ?>;
    var curr_user = <?php echo $current_id ?>;
    if(supervisor_username != curr_user) 
    {literal} { {/literal}
           document.getElementById(\'status\').disabled=true;
    {literal} } {/literal}
{literal} } {/literal}
  </script>' 

and this at the top

 global $current_user;
$current_id=$current_user->id;
$manager=$bean->managers_id_c; 
  

but the php variables are not transfering there value any i dea why
