Make field read only

[bescott53]

Ahmed, I have used the code you have on the support pages below to make a field read only but it does not seem to work, can you help?

Code: Select all

	function tablename_dv($selectedID, $memberInfo, &$html, &$args){
		/* current user is not an admin? */
		if($mi['group'] != 'Admins'){
			$html .= <<<EOC
				<script>
					\$j(function(){
						\$j('#price').prop('readonly', true);
					})
				</script>
EOC;
		}
	}

Hi,

what kind of field do you try to make readonly. Can you post the code you actually used in your project?

[bescott53]

sure, i moved this on though. i created a file in the hooks folder called "commission_approval-dv.js" and then pasted this into it

Code: Select all

$j(function () {

                                if($mi['group'] != 'Admins'){
                                                                   $j(function(){
                                                                   $j('#approvedby_so').prop('readonly', true);
                                                                                                                     })
                                                                                             }
});

ok, so what type of field is the #approvedby_so ? is it a text field or a selection.
Also did you check that your user is not part of the admins group?

[bescott53]

thanks pbottcher, it is a selection, blank by default with the option of yes or no or blank. the person is not in the admins group as only i am in that.

[pböttcher]

Hi,

in case you have a selection field you need to apply the following instead the prop:

Code: Select all

$j(function () {

                                if($mi['group'] != 'Admins'){
                                                                   $j(function(){
                                                                   $j(#approvedby_so-container').attr('disabled', true);
                                                                                                                     })
                                                                                             }
});

[bescott53]

Hi, thankyou for this however i can still see this if i am not in the admins group? doesnt appear to work

[pböttcher]

Hi,

sorry, can you try this:

Code: Select all

$j(function () {

                                if($mi['group'] != 'Admins'){
                                                                   $j(#approvedby_so-container').prop("disabled", true);
                                                                   }
});

[bescott53]

not having any luck with this at all.

Code: Select all

$j(function () {
                if($mi['group'] != 'Admins'){
                     $j('#approvedby_so-container').prop("disabled", true);
                                            }
});

Hi,
can you post a screenshot of the console view of your field. Maybe the name is not correct.

[bescott53]

thanks, I have checked the console but it is blank. looked in Dom explorer and saw the attached

Hi,
this looks strange. Is this a select2 dropdown created by appGini? I cannot see the approvedby_so id in the screenshot. Can you doublecheck.

[bescott53]

it is pbottcher. is it due to using a different theme maybe? (still supplied by appgini)

not having any luck with this at all.

Code: Select all

$j(function () {
                if($mi['group'] != 'Admins'){
                     $j('#approvedby_so-container').prop("disabled", true);
                                            }
});

Just wish to make a small correction to the code above as it's mixing PHP syntax with JavaScript code ... I didn't test the code below but give it a try and let's see how it goes:

Code: Select all

if($mi['group'] != 'Admins'){ ?>
    <script>
        $j(function () {
            $j('#approvedby_so-container').prop("disabled", true);
        });
    </script>
<?php }

[bescott53]

thanks Ahmed, but still doesnt work?

[a.gneady]

Hi bescott ... OK, referring to the code at the top of the thread, try this:

Code: Select all

function tablename_dv($selectedID, $memberInfo, &$html, &$args){
	/* current user is not an admin? */
	if($mi['group'] != 'Admins'){
		$html .= <<<EOC
			<script>
				\$j(function(){
					\$j('#approvedby_so-container').prop('disabled', true);
				})
			</script>
EOC;
	}
}

[bescott53]

I am getting http500 error with this

[bescott53]

so i removed the last } but it still isn't working although no 500 error now.

[pböttcher]

can you post an image where we can see your field in the appGini application definition and in the Web-GUI.

[bescott53]

sure , here you go

[pböttcher]

ok, do it is an option list. Can you remove the "-container" and try again.

Code: Select all

function commision_approvals_dv($selectedID, $memberInfo, &$html, &$args){
		/* current user is not an admin? */
		if($memberinfo['group'] != 'Admins'){
			$html .= <<<EOC
						<script>
							\$j(function(){
								\$j('#approvedby_so').prop('disabled', true);
							})
						</script>
EOC;
		}
	}

[bescott53]

nope still no joy!

[pböttcher]

can you pls post where you put the code and the code you have pls.
I just saw that there is a typo in the commision above. It should of course be commission.
