Question

How to prevent user from being able to add new entries in a standard CRUD View in Agile Toolkit?

$this->add('CRUD')->setModel('User');

Answer 1

CRUD has a property $allow_add which would disable add functionality. You should use this code to set the initial value of object property in Agile Toolkit:

$this->add('CRUD',array('allow_add'=>false))->setModel('User');

Alternatively you can use Grid, if you don’t wish to have editing or you want to customize editing page:

$this->add('Grid')->setModel('User');
