Adding coment field.

mojohand 19 Jan, 2014
Hi,
I have chronoform Chronoforms_V4.0.1 and ChronoConnectivity_V4_RC3.2
I created a form with all the fields that the user should filled in the front end.
However I need to add few fields that can be modified at the admin only. So when somebody fills the form in the admin can modify the hidden filed. I added the database row but it doesn't seems to editable form chronoconnectivity.
Is this possible achieve?
Thanks for helping.

Hi mojohand,

Hidden fields can't be edited, I suggest that you create a form for "admin" editing only, and use it in the admin area, you can use text boxes instead of hidden fields!

Hi mojohand,

It also possible to set up some inputs so that they are only visible/or editable when the user is an Admin. That takes a bit of coding knowledge though.

Thnaks Max, the idea is so simple and brilliant. Works perfectly now. Just duplicated the frontend form added the extra text fiekds the admin needs to fill in. Connected the front end form to the admin form's table. So whenever someone fills in the front end form the data comes into the admin form but leaving the additional fields empty. The administrator then can add the extra data in the admin section and submit it again. The form shows all data beautifully in the record list so it is very easy to find the info even without opening the forms individually. Obviously I wrote this lenghly explanation for chaps who find this thread useful🙂 Thanks again for your help...
