Hi KaTaBd,

Yes, actually we cannot customize Editors'form. You can see our discussion about this at : http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...;;page=unread#unread

I still have this problem, and I wonder how can I develop this feature alone as I don't develop in Perl unfortunately.

If somebody would have an idea, I would take it...

OK, here is a brute force method.

Edit admin/Links/Browser.pm, search for 'hide', you will find it in a few subroutines, like 'link_add_form', 'link_modify_form', etc

You can add column names as follows:

Warning: this will hide the fields not only for editors, but also in the browser in your admin panel. The fields will still be visible in your admin panel in the "Database" section.

Warning 2: When you upgrade, you have to repeat what you did.

I have found the best way to combat this problem is to move all of my custom fields, especially advertising onens, into their own seperate tables. This way only the admin can see them.

Thanks Yogi and Ian

I will try both ways and I sure one of them should work..

I like this method best, since even during builds, it's only an extra query or a join, but you have much better control over it.

Allow Links to run as it likes, but put your own information in your own tables Links_extra, Users_extra, etc.

Exactly... I have been slowly learning, but I am begining to migrate all the tables in my plug-ins to their own. The job I am working on at the moment, is almost totally stand alone... no GT tables except a join or two. In fact, it would'nt need to be a plug-in if it were'nt so easy for a customer to install using the plug-in system (which is great). This way, I have managed to avoid using hooks for the most part, and the actions take place on my own forms with my own database tables!
