Custom Field Question

[hypuk]

Hi

 

I want to create custom fields but I don't want them to be visible on the order form, but visible in the additional settings tab in the client area as it will be staff who will add this information from the admin area.

 

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

You can use client fields and use hidden.

[hypuk]

Yeah but the client would not be able to see it in the client area and there's no option in the text drop down box for it to be a hidden field.

The client interface and the order form are effectively "the client area". There is no option to make a custom field available to the client, but also limit where in the UI it is available to the client.

 

Not sure if this would work for what you're doing, but you could make it visible to clients and also make it read-only. They'll see it, but they can't change it.

[hypuk]

Yeah I am going to make it read only, however the custom fields are going to appear on the order form which is going to confuse the client unless there is a work-around.

At the base, I had same need as you, but needed in complement customer be able to edit some field in the additional settings tab in the client area.

 

I had to use customization in template by using a grid framework.

 

In your case as you do not need the customer allowed to edit field, certainly just custom db query is fine, let me know if you want help/material on that, just let me know.

 

As for now, there is no native way in blesta for that or you have to create a module/plugin , meaning a bigger step for so few.

rectification, at re-reading you, you just need to customize the order form template by removing display of custom field there.

Thanks for the response

 

Yeah I just don't want the fields to appear on the order form just the additional settings tab in the client area as they will be read only.

 

Can you point me to which file and part I need to remove please?

 

Thanks

no luck, I had to find it for my install, but after a lot of search today, I was not able to find in templates, and even in the java files

[serge]

Hello hypuk, did you find how to solve it, I'm interrested by the solution

[serge]

ok found that in my case this template was the place to remove some code that displayed the custom fields
