Hiding form fields from editors
I know I have posted this in another form somewhere else, but I have a part solution here.

I don't want my editors to be able to see or modify certain fileds in my Category and Links tables. For example, priority, sponsoroship, or advertising fields which I have added. I also want to block things like the description field (SUB1) because I use the yahoo subcats plugin.

One method is to change the properties of the columns you want to hide so that form type = "hidden". The problem with this, is its a pain for you to search and modify these fields yourself!!

The browser display needs to have some kind of checking built into it where it recognises 'admin' logged in, and this displays the fields. Or conversely, anyone other than admin, the fields are not shown.

Anyone have any thoughts or solutions to this? Is this something which might be in the next Links update??
