PHPRunner 4.2

This is a two step process

  1. Proceed to the Edit page, switch to HTML mode and wrap the code section with wrappers (in bold) as shown below:
    {if $admin_user}

    <TR>

    <TD class=shade width=150>Horsepower</TD>

    <TD width=250>

    {build_edit_control field="Horsepower" value=$value_Horsepower mode="edit"}

    </TD></TR>
    {/if}


2. Now you need to implement BeforeShowEdit event and put the following code there:

$smarty->assign("admin_user", $_SESSION["UserID"]=="admin");


Horsepower edit box will be shown only if username equals "admin".
PHPRunner 5.0 (and later)
To hide Horsepower field add BeforeShowEdit event on the Events tab and put the following code there:

$xt->assign("Horsepower_fieldblock",$_SESSION["UserID"]=="admin");


Horsepower edit box will be shown only if username equals "admin".

This works great. How would one change the code to show the record dependant on the User's Group he/she belongs to in stead of the username.

Use $_SESSION["GroupID"] for this purpose.

Nice one... How about hiding the 'add' button if a record already exists?
