Read Only Teat Area in From

[hopper577]

I want to have a read only text area in a form.  But im not sure how to do this

This is what the HTML will need to look like

Code:

<textarea name="textarea" cols="70" rows="10" readonly="readonly">Insert your read only text HERE</textarea>

Thanks

Ok so I worked out how to do this for version 2.6.4.

there are three files you need to edit:

• modules/form/modify_field.php
• modules/form/save_field.php
• modules/form/view.php

modify_field.php
Insert this at Line 171:

Code:

<?php if($type == 'textarea') { ?>
    <tr>
      <td><?php echo 'Read Only'; ?>:</td>
      <td><input type="radio" name="readonly" id="readonly_true" value='readonly="readonly"' <?php if($form['extra'] == 'readonly="readonly"') { echo ' checked'; } ?> />
        <a href="#" onclick="javascript: document.getElementById('readonly_true').checked = true;"> <?php echo $TEXT['YES'] ?> </a> &nbsp;
        <input type="radio" name="readonly" id="readonly_false" value="" <?php if($form['extra'] == '') { echo ' checked'; } ?> />
        <a href="#" onclick="javascript: document.getElementById('readonly_false').checked = true;"> <?php echo $TEXT['NO']; ?> </a> </td>
    </tr>
    <?php } ?>

save_field.php
Insert this at line 33:

Code:

$readonly = $_POST['readonly'];

Change line 79 from:

Code:

$database->query("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_form_fields SET value = '$value', extra = '' WHERE field_id = '$field_id'");

to:

Code:

$database->query("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_form_fields SET value = '$value', extra = '$readonly' WHERE field_id = '$field_id'");

view.php
Line 173 from:

Code:

$values[] = '<textarea name="field'.$field_id.'" id="field'.$field_id.'" class="textarea">'.$value.'</textarea>';

To:

Code:

$values[] = '<textarea name="field'.$field_id.'" id="field'.$field_id.'" class="textarea" '.$field['extra'].'>'.$value.'</textarea>';

Thats how i done it.  I'm not sure if its the most efficient way but IT WORKS 

Cheers
