How to disable the add and delete group

Hmmmm. The easiest way would be to

1) Copy the table (Tables tab on fabrik backend, select original table, hit Copy button), so you have a complete new set of table/form/group(s)/elements for that form that can be configured separately. Don't worry, copies still operate on the same underlying table and data, it's just a way of having an alternate "view" onto the data.

[It usually helps at this point if you re-label the copies of table, form and group(s), to help avoid confusion. The new ones will be the ones with higher numeric ID's]

2) Create a new J! menu for the second level users to access the copy of the table through.

3) Create a new form template by copying whatever template folder you use for the original (say 'default') from ./components/com_fabrik/views/form/tmpl/default to default_no_repeat (or some such).

4) In that new folder, create a custom.css with this in it:

Code (Text):

.fabrikGroupRepeater {
   display: none !important
}

4) Select that as the form template for the copy of your form.

using mootools 1.2.x the code would look like this:

Code (Text):

if(document.getElement('input[name=rowid]').get('value') == ''){
  $('groupX').getElement('.fabrikGroupRepeater').destroy();
}
 

replace the X in groupX with the group id whose repeat buttons you want to remove

Well, only that a) that code won't work on 1.11, and b) we're REALLY trying to get away from Moo 1.11, and only work with 1.2.x from here on. We could give you the 1.11 code, but then we'd have to kill you.

BTW, is there any requirement for the original user to be able to edit the record and add / remove groups? That was why i suggested the two teir approach, so that the original author can edit via one link, and can see the group buttons, and the second level folk edit through another link, and can't.

if you need the original user to be able to edit and add/remove groups using the JS method Rob outlined ... it won't work.

Oh, the code Rob gave could either be used in the onLoad function in a form JS plugin, or wrapped in a domReady event in a static form JS file (./components/com_fabrik/js/X.js, where X is your numeric form ID), like ...

window.addEvent('domReady', function() {
... rob's code goes here ...
});
