Custom Field "Read Only" in both - front & backend

Hi,
I would like to set several custom fields (for example the "address company" to "read only". Meaning, the user cannot change this in the frontend. As it is described in the help section: "Read only: Used to lock the value of a text type custom field, the customer can't change it's value."

However, the point is, if I set a field to "Read Only", then it is also not editable in the admin backend anymore. That means, it cannot changed at all. I also cannot setup the data for a new user.

I think this should be editable by the admin in the backend, shouldn´t it be?

Thx

Hi,

What can be done is editing the view "user / editaddress" (backend template) and relplace the line:

echo $this->fieldsClass->display($oneExtraField,$this->address->$fieldName,'data[address]['.$fieldName.']',false,''.$onWhat.'="hikashopToggleFields(this.value,\''.$fieldName.'\',\'address\',0);"'); ?>

echo $this->fieldsClass->display($oneExtraField,$this->address->$fieldName,'data[address]['.$fieldName.']',false,'backend'.$onWhat.'="hikashopToggleFields(this.value,\''.$fieldName.'\',\'address\',0);"'); ?>

$size .= empty($field->field_options['readonly']) ? '' : ' readonly="readonly"';

		if(!preg_match('/^backend/',$options))
			$size .= empty($field->field_options['readonly']) ? '' : ' readonly="readonly"';
		$options = preg_replace('/^backend/','',$options);

Thanks. Will this be part of the next update release, or do I need to take care about saving & updating the new field.php file?
I assume, changes in the VIEW files will remain even after an update, as long as the changes where made via the HikaShop backend?

Hi,

We will not add it in short therm, but later there will be options to set the access on the custom fields.
