Hello,

I would appreciate someone assisting me by clarifying a few things for me relating to the database and the viewing of it.

I would like for owner to have admin rights. The employees registered user rights and the world viewing rights

It is necessary that the admin and employees see all fields when adding, viewing, modifying and deleting records.

But at the same time, I want the world to only view the non-hidden fields when searching the database.

I am very much confused right now as to how I can accomplish this. I thought I had it straight in my head, but I have proven myself wrong. If I set the hidden fields to -1 in the .cfg file, then they are hidden in the forms: add, view, modify, delete. Yet, if I un-hide them, then of course all fields show in each form respectively.

I have searched the forum for similiar questions. Will I have to install the: Add Permission module to accomplish this?

I have hovered over this particular question, by reading, searching, etc. I truly do not understand. Your help would be greatly appreciate.

Best Regards,

Kim Lanners

Kim I think you might find your answers by checking the FAQ noted below.

Look under "Fields", and then "Conditional Displays"

Hi LoisC!

Thank you for your help and references. I will go out directly and look at what you have directed me to.

I searched through the forum thoroughly and also the Unofficial DBman site but I have not found what I think I am looking for .

I say 'think' because in searching I am not really certain what I am looking for and the terminology I use my not be correct, so any reference on line to the correct post would be by passed because I am not looking for the correct description but rather my own wording.

I sure appreciate your help and patience with me. I will be sure to let you know what I find out.

Best Regards,

Kim Lanners

Hi LoisC,

I am no further than I was earlier this morning. I sure appreciate your leads, but to be perfectly candid I am truly lost.

I had promised that I would keep you in the loop as to what I found out.

Thankyou.

Best Regards,

I can understand your difficulty.
I would be happy to help you. If you would like to send me your html.pl file (to my private email), with a list of the fields that are viewable to the world, but viewable by others, I will make the simple mods for you. You will then be able to see how it is done.
