Read-only fields based on Roles

Hi

I am trying to make some “Date & Time” and “Dropdown” fields read-only (on edit page) according to the Role of the user.

I am able to do it with “type=text” fields using the following code from this post. See the code bellow.

But I am unable to do it for “Date & Time” and “Dropdown” field types.

On custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/editviewdefs.php


'customCode' => '<input type="text" class="phone" tabindex="0" title="" value="{$fields.phone_work.value}" maxlength="100" size="30" id="phone_work" name="phone_work" {$readOnly}>',

On custom/modules/Contacts/views/view.edit.php


function display(){ // add this if function display doesn't exist  
                global $current_user;
                // check if current user is in specific role
                // code taken from thread
                $IS_AM = in_array("<ROLE NAME>", ACLRole::getUserRoleNames($current_user->id));
                if($IS_AM)
                    $this->ev->ss->assign('readOnly', 'readonly = "readonly"');
                else
                    $this->ev->ss->assign('readOnly', '');
                parent::display(); // add this if function display doesn't exist 
} // add this if function display doesn't exist

Thanks

Hi berriop,

This is more of a development query than support. I’m sure there are developers out there who can assist you with this.

Thanks,

Will.

Hello everyone,

Dropdown fields not accept readonly atribute in tag. And date & time field have a javascript onclick atribute in the calendar image, so the best way is hide the field. To make dropdown field “readonly” and hide the date field, include in the display() function:

function display(){ // add this if function display doesn't exist  
                global $current_user;
                // check if current user is in specific role
                // code taken from thread
                $IS_AM = in_array("<ROLE NAME>", ACLRole::getUserRoleNames($current_user->id));
                if($IS_AM){
                    $this->ev->ss->assign('readOnly', 'readonly = "readonly"');
                    $this->ev->ss->assign('readOnlyDropDown', 'disabled= "true"');
		    $this->ev->ss->assign('HideDateTime', 'style="display:none;"');
                }else{
                    $this->ev->ss->assign('readOnly', '');
                }
                parent::display(); // add this if function display doesn't exist 
} // add this if function display doesn't exist

In the editviewdefs:

Dropdown:

'customCode' => '<select {$readOnlyDropDown} name="account_type" id="account_type" title="">
<option label="" value=""></option>
<option label="Analista" value="Analyst">Analista</option>
<option label="Cliente" value="Customer">Cliente</option>
<option label="Concorrente" value="Competitor">Concorrente</option>
</select><script>$("#account_type").val("{$fields.account_type.value}");</script>',

Date&Time:

'customCode' => '<input {$HideDateTime} class="date_input" autocomplete="off" type="text" name="date_closed" id="date_closed" value="{$fields.date_closed.value}" title="" tabindex="0" size="11" maxlength="10">',

Not forget to do the Repair and Rebuild.

I hope this help! :slight_smile:

Thanks @dugim, you approach was super helpful.

I sort of combined what you did and another post using {if} statements in the custom code. I needed to test if user was admin, if so then make it editable. Otherwise, just show the value.

My view.edit.php is:

class AccountsViewEdit extends ViewEdit
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->useForSubpanel = true;
        $this->useModuleQuickCreateTemplate = true;
    }
	public function display()
    {
        global $current_user;

        // Check if the user is an administrator
        $isAdministrator = $current_user->is_admin;

        // Set the $readOnly variable based on the user's administrator status
        $readOnly = $isAdministrator ? '' : 'readonly = "readonly"';

        // Assign $readOnly to Smarty template
        $this->ev->ss->assign('readOnly', $readOnly);
		
		//Assign $isAdministrator to Smarty template
		 $this->ev->ss->assign('isAdministrator', $isAdministrator);

        parent::display(); // Call the parent display function to render the view
    }
}

And my editvewdefs is:

1 => 
          array (
            'name' => 'price_level_date_c',
			'customCode' => '{if $isAdministrator}@@FIELD@@{else}<input type="text" class="date_input" tabindex="0" title="" value="{$fields.price_level_date_c.value}" maxlength="99" size="30" id="price_level_date_c" name="price_level_date_c" {$readOnly}>
				{/if}',
            'label' => 'LBL_PRICE_LEVEL_DATE',			
          ),
        ),

using the @@field@@ just shows the normal field in editvew.
