Making a field read only - editview

[dusker]

Hi,

i'm running on sugar 5.1..0a, and i'd like to make the amount field readonly - there's a default value i'm assigning to it by a custom vardef file, and need to make this field readonly so noone can change it. can anyone give me a clue where to look for the place to edit it?
usually it'd be adding an a property to form text item - readonly="readonly" right?

thanks in advance for help

greetings
peter

hi
you can write in custom/modules/metadata/editiviewdefs.php
for that particular fields.
it will be readonly
'displayParams' =>
array('readOnly' => true),

),


you need to clear the cache

i've put in to the file You're talking about the following

  array( 'name'=>'amount','displayParams'=>array('readOnly'=>true)), 
  

cleared cache and still the field is not readonly

Hello Peter,

one easy way to do this is to remove the field from the edit view and just have it appear in the detail view.

Try

array (
'name' => 'jobno',
'label' => 'LBL_JOBNO',
'type' => 'readonly',
),

Hi,

One option can be by writing javascript code in view.edit.php , to disable a particular field.

Modifying the type of this checkbox field to readonly should make it display as either "1" or "0". It is not the better approach, but it should works if you repaired the template cache (Admin -> Repair -> Quick Repair and Rebuild)
I had filed a new feature which accomplish your needs: 27809 Improve Bool template field customization.
A good work around, to avoid modify a core script, is to set a customCode for the field.

Kind regards
