Support › MB Frontend Submission › Make only specific fields editable in frontendResolved
Is there a way to disable specific input fields in the frontend submission form? I only want some specific fields editable.
I think i cant solve it with javascript easy, because, the ids of an input change from post to post i think?
Hi,
You can use the field setting disabled and set it to true to disable a field. Read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/field-settings/#field-specific-settings
disabled
true
[ 'name' => __( 'Text', 'your-text-domain' ), 'id' => $prefix . 'text_c2x12ryc1qu', 'type' => 'text', 'disabled' => true, ],
Okay, i've tried that. But then i cant fill the field, when i create a post?
I want to fill it, but dont edit/change it when it is created on the frontend. Or do i miss something?
Thanks.
When registering the meta box, you can create a variable $disabled, set it to false by default and check if it is the admin area, change this variable to true to disable editing. It would be:
$disabled
false
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function( $meta_boxes ) { $disabled = false; if( is_admin() ) $disabled = true; $meta_boxes[] = [ ... 'fields' => [ [ 'id' => 'text', 'name' => 'Text', 'type' => 'text', 'disabled' => $disabled ], ], ]; return $meta_boxes; } );
Hi ,
thank you. I've finished it with following code:
add_filter( 'rwmb_normalize_vorname_field', function( $field ) { if( is_admin() ) { $field['disabled'] = false; }else{ $field['disabled'] = true; } return $field; } );
.
