Limit cient to view only, and calendar option - jaggedpath - Feb 10th, 2010
Hi everyone,
I hope this is an easy solution that I've just overlooked.
What I'm going for is:
A client that can view and edit the form database.
No problem. That's done.
A second client that can view the form database, edit two of the fields (I've achieved this using the view options) but, this client should not be able to submit ANY new forms. Just edit the two fields on existing entries.
This client should also not be able to delete any form entries.
It's the 'no new submissions' and 'no deleting' that have me stumped.
Thanks for any help or pointers in the right direction. I'm sure it's something simple I've completely overlooked.
Take care.

Hi all,
Sorry, I was a little quick on the submit there.
I figured out how to limit what fields a client can edit (right in front of my eyes, just like I figured)
However, I am still having trouble making it so the client can not submit NEW form submissions.
Again, I'm sure it's a simple option.
But I've tried turning the option to not allow new submissions in that client's view, with no luck.
Thanks for any info!
Take care.

RE: Limit cient to view and not submit new - jaggedpath - Feb 10th, 2010
One other simple question...
Is it possible to add a pop-up calendar to a field when a client clicks to edit the field?
Just like the 'submitted date' field, only this would be one for 'finished date'.
Thanks again all.
Take care.

What happens when you do that? It should just hide the "Add" button for all users of that View.

Unfortunately not. Eventually I'll find time to add a Custom Fields module, but until then we're rather stuck with the built-in field types.
Sorry about that!
