How to make 'databasejoin' element readonly?

[bea]

Hi again,
I know, there is also another closed thread in community forum, but without a final solution. I really need a readonly option for db joins and date.
Is this still possible?
If not, my way would be to show a calc of join or date.

Cheers,
Bianka

You have an access control at the elements level now, so you can set the access right for new/edit at a hgher level than the user filling the form.

Hi jfquestiaux,
thank you for reply. This works only with the date element, but not with my db join, which is the record_id of another table (related data link).

I really need this feature readonly, otherwise i have to twist around...
Cheers

Hi Bianka
As jfquestiaux says: set the element's add/edit access levels to nobody, superadmin,... whatever you need.

Bea - are you saying you've tried setting the ACL's on the the join element and it isnt working / behaving as expected?

Maybe post a couple of screenshots, or a Jing screencast, so we can see what you settings are, and what the behavior is.

But if you set form (write) access to something the logged on user isn't a member of, you should just get a read only rendering of the join on your form.

Thank you for your support. I was a little bit confused with ACL's settings in Joomla and Fabrik. Now it works like expected.

Hi Bianka
If you are switching from Joomla1.5 to 2.5 or 3 it's worth to get the new ACL concept (this was one of the big improvements).
It's very important for prefilter settings, too
