Question

Following a Zend tutorial from a book I have created a Base Form and subclassed it twice – once for Edit, once for Create. How should I go about creating a View only version?

All the View details are the same as the Edit version, but I don’t want users to be able to edit any fields.

As a related question – there is one field in the Edit version that I don’t want users to be able to edit. What’s the best way to achieve this? Is javascript the answer?

Answer 1

To have a ‘view only’ form, I have subclassed the Edit form, and included the following code:

$allElements = $this->getElements();
foreach ($allElements as $element) {
    $element->setAttrib('disabled', 'disabled');
}
