Read-Only for Non-Admin

[rogerrabbit]

Each field contains a checkbox called “read only for non-admin”. In my mind a field marked with “read only for non-admin” should be readonly for normal users. But when i login with a normal user I can edit radio button’s. Why this ? What going wrong ?

[rogerrabbit]

i could solve it. I added following code to the user-meta/views/generateField.php (Beginning Line 259)

elseif( $field[‘field_type’] == ‘radio’ ):
$fieldType = ‘radio’;
if( ! empty( $field[‘line_break’] ) ):
$option_after = “”;
endif;
/* added code ———————————————————————— */
if( $fieldReadOnly == ‘readonly’ ) :
$isDisabled = true;
endif;
/* end added code ———————————————————————— */

This fix does not work as expected. Now the radio buttons are readonly but if the user press update profile, then it clears the readonly settings on the meta database.

Yes, I was also going to post about this issue; I want radio buttons,drop downs and some related fields not to be editable or even click-able; when a user that has read-only access logs in my opinion, they should only view those fields(drop down,checkbox,radio buttons) and not be able to make changes to them. Please help us find a lasting solution to this.

Hello, for version 1.1.3, please open user-meta/views/generateField.php

Then, add following line at line number 331
$isDisabled = !empty($fieldReadOnly) ? true : false;

Thanks.

Thanks a lot this did work.

I have used the correction on 331 but am having the same issue as @rogerrabbit.
The checkboxes are readonly but if the user (Contributor level) updates their profile it clears the readonly settings. Is there a fix for this?

After some research here is what I discovered. Elements with the disabled attribute are not posted to the server. That explains why the values are cleared on a profile update. Elements with the readonly attribute are selectable but not editable by the user. Their values are posted to the server. However, select boxes and check boxes do not allow the readonly attribute.

My solution was to keep the elements disabled and alter the plug in code to insert a hidden field for each disabled field. For version 1.1.3, in user-meta/views/generateField.php, I inserted the following code on line 367. So far, it appears to be working.


if($isDisabled){
$html .= $userMeta->createInput( ($fieldType == "checkbox") ? $field['field_name']."[]" : $field['field_name'], "hidden",
array(
"value" => ($fieldType == "checkbox") ? $field['field_value'][0] : $field['field_value'],
"id" => $inputID,
"by_key" => $by_key,
), null );
}

I am surprised that almost two years later this issue is this the same. I think I’ll hack a quick fix with jQuery for my own site, but it would be nice to see this solved for checkboxes in a clean way.
