Limiting editing of a field after it has been filled
Hello, I want to configure a node form in that after filling a filed and saving, the fields cannot be edited, but empty fields can be edited. Is this possible? James
Should be. Are you already comfortable with working with the forms API? You could test for a value (if !empty) and set #disabled = TRUE for the form element if there is an existing value. On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 2:12 AM, Mutuku Ndeti <jnmutuku@gmail.com> wrote:

I am not yet comfortable...but thanks for pointing me in that direction. Let me get myself comfortable
Allow me to ask a "dummy" question.. just gone through the form API documentation and some tutorials. Where do I put my faorm api code? on the themes template.php?
You will want to build a small custom module to house your forms api code. This requires nothing more than creating a .module file and a .info file. For the .info file, you could just copy one from a module that you already have installed, rename it, and edit it. For the .module file, you don't need anything in it but your form_alter code Best, William On Sat, May 8, 2010 at 3:17 AM, Mutuku Ndeti <jnmutuku@gmail.com> wrote:
