i have a cck custom type that is created by people and the fields are filled.
Then someone else edit those nodes and adds more data. I want to save the username of the user editing the content into an hidden field.
i know i can get the user with this:
global $user;
$a = $user->name;
return array(
0 => array('value' => $a)
);
and i have put this as default code for the hidden field, but the field now is filled with the creator of the node, and then is not replaced with the editor.
How can i solve my issue?
i do research on your problem, here is a solution enjoy!!!
Create a custom module and use the following code.
//Implementation of hook_nodeapi()
function hook_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $a3 = NULL, $a4 = NULL) {
switch($op) {
case 'presave':
if($node->type == "Your content type name")
{
global $user;
//In my case
//$node->field_username[0]['value'] = $user->name;
//In your case it will be like
$node->hidden_field_name[0]['value'] = $user->name;
}
break;
}
}
When you test editing the node yourself, does the field contain your own username or the original author?
An alternative solution is to form_alter the specific node edit form and on node_save, fill in the hidden field with the user name.

I need to modify the ListView. Showing the value of a field based on a certain condition.
In the Account module, the name field may be empty based on certain conditions, I require that when this occurs show the value of a custom field. To do this, first I tryied using 'customCode' + smarty as usual in Edit/Detail vies, but in several posts mention that this is not possible in the ListView. The concession is to use logic hooks + a non-db field to store the calculated field. Following this SO answer I have written the following:
Custom field at custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardefs/custom_field_name_c.php
<?php
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['name_c']['name'] = 'account_name_c';
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['name_c']['vname'] = 'LBL_ACCOUNT_NAME_C';
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['name_c']['type'] = 'varchar';
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['name_c']['len'] = '255';
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['name_c']['source'] = 'non-db';
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['name_c']['dbType'] = 'non-db';
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['name_c']['studio'] = 'visible';
Label at suitecrm/custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Language/es_ES.account_name_c.php
<?php
$mod_strings['LBL_ACCOUNT_NAME_C'] = 'Nombre de cuenta';
Logic hook entry at custom/modules/Accounts/logic_hooks.php
$hook_array['process_record'] = Array();
$hook_array['process_record'][] = Array(
2,
'Get proper name',
'custom/modules/Accounts/hooks/ListViewLogicHook.php',
'ListViewLogicHook',
'getProperName'
);
Logic hook at custom/modules/Accounts/hooks/ListViewLogicHook.php
<?php
class ListViewLogicHook
{
public function getProperName(&$bean, $event, $arguments)
{
if (empty($bean->fetched_row['name'])) {
$bean->account_name_c = $bean->fetched_row['person_name_c'];
} else {
$bean->account_name_c = $bean->fetched_row['name'];
}
// Here I also tried, but same result
// $bean->account_name_c = empty($bean->name) ? $bean->person_name_c : $bean->name;
}
}
listviewdefs.php at custom/modules/Accounts/metadata/listviewdefs.php
I added the field
'NAME_C' =>
array (
'width' => '20%',
'label' => 'LBL_ACCOUNT_NAME_C',
'default' => true,
),
After these modifications and repair I hope to see the field full with the right value. But it appears empty. I have verified that the logic hook is properly called, but the name andperson_name_c fields are always empty. In case it is relevant I have verified in Studio that the name fields in Account is typename I do not know what this means when it comes to obtaining its value.
I appreciate your comments
The problem is in the logic hook is due to first that the $bean does not have access to the custom fields, so I have to invoke them using $bean->custom_fields->retrieve(); Also the name field is always empty, I had to use DBManager to get only the name field.
The logic of the final logic hook is the following:
<?php
class ListViewLogicHook
{
public function getProperName($bean, $event, $arguments)
{
// Get access to custom fields from $bean
$bean->custom_fields->retrieve();
// Get access to name property using DBManager because $bean->name return null
$sql = "SELECT name FROM accounts WHERE id = '{$bean->id}'";
$name = $GLOBALS['db']->getOne($sql);
// Assign a value to non-db field
$bean->name_c = empty($name) ? $bean->nombre_persona_c : $name;
}
}
I was not familiar with the method $bean->custom_fields->retrieve() and at the moment I do not know why is empty the name field and I understand others fields remain empty.
I hope this is useful
We achieved that doing an after_retrieve hook, very fast and simple - This is taken from a working example.
public function RemoveCost(&$bean, $event, $arguments)
{
global $current_user;
include_once(‘modules/ACLRoles/ACLRole.php’);
$roles = ACLRole::getUserRoleNames($current_user->id);
if(!array_search("CanSeeCostRoleName",$roles)){
$bean->cost = 0;
$bean->cost_usdollar = 0;
}
}
All you need is to define and add this function to the module logic_hooks.php
You can even tailor down to specific calls:
if (isset($_REQUEST['module'],$_REQUEST['action']) && $_REQUEST['module'] == 'Opportunities' && $_REQUEST['action'] == 'DetailView')
As some times there are views you do want to show the field, for example quicksearch popup.
I am trying to make a form which will allow them to update their entered unique entry. Suppose there is form which is used to collect, the User Specializations
And this Specializations field is gravity forms multiselect field which is dynamically set. And as they update their specializations also updated in entries tab.
So, i just want to allow they to have this multiselect field updation.
I came across a solution to add multiselect choice dynamically but that only populate the field with all the choices not the user selected also.
So, is there is way to set the user entered choices dynamically?
Possible Solution:
Like we can get the entries and then set search criterion to current user and will get a unique entry and then after we can set these selected values in the choices.
Issue Exists with the above possible solution:
but still there is issue like it will be creating new entry as form dont know it is update operation. So can anyone help?
//Auto Populate Service Field in Form ID=
add_filter('gform_pre_render_2', 'populate_services');
add_filter('gform_pre_validation_2', 'populate_services');
add_filter('gform_pre_submission_filter_2', 'populate_services');
add_filter('gform_admin_pre_render_2', 'populate_services');
function populate_services($form)
{
foreach ($form['fields'] as &$field) {
if ($field->type != 'multiselect' || strpos($field->cssClass, 'populate_services') === false) {
continue;
}
$services = get_specializations();
$choices = array();
foreach ($services as $service) {
$title = stripslashes($service->name);
$choices[] = array(
'value' => $service->ID,
'text' => esc_html($title)
);
}
// update 'Select Duration' to whatever you'd like the instructive option to be
$field->placeholder = 'Select Services';
$field->choices = $choices;
}
return $form;
}
I want to disable the fields, name and last name, in edit profile Joomla, so that user can not modify them. How can I change this?
The best approach, but not the easiest, is to create an user plugin to override form with a onContentPrepareForm method :
public function onContentPrepareForm($form, $data){
if (!($form instanceof JForm)){
$this->_subject->setError('JERROR_NOT_A_FORM');
return false;
}
$form->setFieldAttribute('name', 'readonly', 'true');
$form->setFieldAttribute('lastname', 'readonly', 'true');
return true;
}
There is not a configuration setting to achieve this.
So the easiest approach is to create a template override for the users view.
In the administrator, open the menu Extensions-Templates-Templates, then select your template and choose "Create Overrides" in the top tab:
In the center column, choose com_users - profile and edit.php
The display is done with a loop, starting at line 59 (as of v. 3.6.5) you want to add code to identify the fields you wish to keep readonly, and simply set their readonly property.
This is the kind of code you would add starting at line 59:
<?php foreach ($fields as $field) : ?>
<?php
if ($field->name == 'jform[name]') {
$field->readonly = true;
}
?>
<?php // If the field is hidden, just display the input. ?>
The $field contains something like this:
We are identifying it by name (well by its field name), then setting its readonly property.
Well, I can restrict users access permissions(i.e. view, create, update or delete) to forms or views based on access control using behaviors.
But I wonder how I can restrict a specific user from editing some of the fields in the form i.e. allow specific fields is read-only for some users and editable by some users.
Can I provide any kind of access rule in the model or attach some rule in the _form.php itself.
Thanks.
Try this.
if(\Yii::$app->user->can('admin')) {
$form->field($model,'field')->textInput();
}
In this case the input field will only appear if condition matches.
For exactly this case I've created my own class that extends ActiveForm. With the code below it's possible to add rules to a specific field for one or more roles. I use it like this in my forms:
<?= $form->field($model, 'foo', [], [AccessUtil::USER_ROLE => RoleBasedActiveForm::INVISIBLE]) ?>
The Role Based Active Form will show a normal input field when you don't add any rules. It won't display anything if you say it should be invisible for a roles and it also supports read-only (UNEDITABLE).
class RoleBasedActiveForm extends ActiveForm {
const VISIBLE = 0;
const INVISIBLE = 1;
const UNEDITABLE = 2;
public function field($model, $attribute, $options = [], $rules = []) {
$case = empty($rules) ? self::VISIBLE : $this->_validateRules($rules);
switch ($case) {
case self::VISIBLE:
return parent::field($model, $attribute, $options);
case self::INVISIBLE:
return;
case self::UNEDITABLE:
return parent::field($model, $attribute, array_merge($options, [
'template' => '{label}' . $model->$attribute,
]));
}
}
private function _validateRules($rules) {
// validate and return a const
}
}
This will do the form part. You will also have to do some validation after posting the values of course, to make sure someone hasn't modified the form. (changed read only to editable with the inspector or something)
Yes it can be done easily as far ur requirement is concerned without resorting to any utilities.
Try this code:
$form->field($model,'field')->textInput(['disabled' => !\Yii::$app->user->can('admin')]);
you need to replace ur field name and admin with your user role. In the above example only admin can edit this field, for other users it will show as disabled or readonly.
That's it.
This is a better answer. You put this in the validation either inline or as a separate function.
[[ 'input-name' ],
function ($attribute, $params) {
$user_role_array = Yii::$app->authManager->getRolesByUser(Yii::$app->user->getId());
if( !array_key_exists( "Role Name", $user_role_array ) ) {
$myOldA = ( $this->getOldAttribute( $attribute ) );
if( $this->{$attribute} !== (string) $myOldA ) {
$this->addError($attribute, "Please contact XXXXX to modify this option. The field has been reset. You may now resubmit the form" );
$this->{$attribute} = $myOldA;
} //End of if attribute equals old attribute
} //End of if array key exists
}, 'skipOnEmpty' => false, 'skipOnError' => false ],
[Next Rule if inline validation]
I've installed the following module - http://drupal.org/project/og_reg_keys This module adds an additional field to your Organic Group Node types, to allow auser to specify a registration key for users to use to join the group.
The problem is that field is not required to be entered by the user.How can one make this field a required field ?
I found the below code, which makes the CCK field mandatory for users of a specific role, but being a non PHP person I have no idea how to change this to:
Make the Group registration key a required field (not sure what the $form element would be called or where to find this)
To remove the section on the code where it applies to users of a specific role, so that it always applies.
Code:
function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
switch ($form_id) {
case 'profile_node_form':
global $user;
if(in_array('targetrole', $user->roles)) {
$form['field_profile_pic'][0]['#required'] = 'TRUE';
$form['#field_info']['field_profile_pic']['required'] = '1';
break
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the code being so messy, I couldn't seem to paster it correctly, it kept getting cut off.
This should make it required for all users:
function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
switch ($form_id) {
case 'profile_node_form':
$form['field_profile_pic'][0]['#required'] = 'TRUE';
$form['#field_info']['field_profile_pic']['required'] = '1';
break ;
}
}
