Hiding a Field on New Record 28 Feb 2013 05:24 #6871

Hey guys,

I'm creating a form that I would like certain fields to show on new - and certain fields to show on edit.

I guess the models/form/form.xml files are used for both new and edit. Same goes for views/form/tmp/form.php.

Any pointers?

Cheers

The simplest way would be to create 2 layouts; 1 for new and a 2nd for edit - simple!

Then, in your grid/collection, point the edit task to the 'edit' layout you've defined and the 'new' task to the 'new' form.

Hope it helps,

Gez

Just to point out as well
- if you put an edit task button in the grid of a collection / list view (so that each record has its own edit button)
- it will point to the Default View!
- make sure your default view is your edit layout

Amazing Tool !
And only tool I know that allows complete Scaffolding in terms of component creation. It really saves loads of time (actually much more than that). Simple architecture enables quick and painless changes at any time. Code is clean and consintent. It's just... what's the word... neat! :) Great work! You should definetely try this one!
