Hi

Using V2023 .13 (getting the upgrade for xmas)

I want to hide a field based on user level

Admin -1
Anonymous -2
Default 0
Project Users 1

and i want to hide for anno only (so anyone not logged in) so tried this

// Page Load event
function Page_Load()
{
   
   if ($this->CurrentUserLevelID == -2 ) {
    	$this->Description->Visible = FALSE;
        
    }
}

Whilst I don’t get any errors the field is visible logged in or not ?

Help Appreciated

try in the list page…

// Page Render event
function Page_Render()
{	
    $this->FIELDNAME->Visible = false;	
}

Hi

Thanks just to be clear I add the page render code in addition to the page load code ?

Hi

I have this on the pageload

{
   
   if ($this->CurrentUserLevelID == -2 ) {
    	$this->Description->Visible = FALSE;
        
    }

and as suggested this on page render

$this->Description->Visible = FALSE;

No errors but logged in or not the field is always visible - any thoughts really appreciated.

Kind Regards
John B

add the code to the Page_Render() of the form you are trying to hide the item in, doesn’t matter if its the edit/add/view forms… add it to the page_render() event

sample, this is from one of my list pages:

// Page Render event
function Page_Render() 
{
    global $Security;

	if(!$Security->IsSysAdmin()) {
		$this->OtherOptions['action']->Items['multiupdate']->Clear();
		$this->is_sys_default->Visible = false;	
	}		
}

sample, this is from one of my view pages

// Page Render event
function Page_Render()
{
   global $Security;
       
           if($allowEncryption <= 0) {
                $this->DocumentEncryptionStatus->Visible = false;
                $this->DocumentEncryptObject->Visible = false;        
                $this->encryption_key->Visible = false;        
            }
	}
}

in your function try it this way

// Page Render event
function Page_Render() {
  global $Security;

    if($Security->CurrentUserLevelID == -2 ) 
    	$this->Description->Visible = false;
}
