I'd like to display fields with immutable values, e.g. a primary key, either as static labels or as a disabled form input element. The widge:type=static shows it as a label, but when I save it complains that the field value is missing. I can't use the widget:atts:style either, as input elements apparently don't take direction on disabled state from style.

Suggestions? Thanks!

Best to use parmissions for this.

e.g. if your field name is 'fooID', then define a method in your delegate class:

Code: Select all

function fooID__permissions(&$record){
    return Dataface_PermissionsTool::READ_ONLY();
}


That works for edit but not for add. The field on the create new record form has no input! I guess if my PK was an auto-increment this would work, but in this case it is not.

Any other ideas? Thanks!

So you need this field to be editable on ADD but not after it has been added?

Code: Select all

function fooID__permissions(&$record){
    $perms =  Dataface_PermissionsTool::READ_ONLY();
    $perms['new'] = 1;
    return $perms;
}
