Edit button display logic

[hserour]

is it possible to add display logic to edit button like we add for record action buttons
if it is possible where can i add it

[pgr]

I don’t understand what you mean.

What would you want to achieve with that display logic?

[hserour]

for example for leads module if status changes edit button could be hidden

If you are trying to disable editing by hiding ‘Edit’ button, it would still be editable as the pencil icons would still be visible even after hiding the button. Please refer to @pgr post for more

Make form readonly conditionally

Disabling the Edit button might not be enough, because of those little “pencil” buttons on each field (similar to the old “Inline Edit” buttons). Disabling Save might work. Any way I am thinking that the correct way to do this is through the ACL’s, which provide the basic security access and control whether a user has access to read or read/write a record. What we would need to do is manipulate the handling of the ACL’s to make it conditional, dependent on data on the field. I see a way of do…

according to this post it is a complicated solution so i am trying to find another solution

[hserour]

i just need to know if it is possible to disable editing and where can i do it i keep changing code in different files but no change is happening

[hserour]

i made code changes in editAction.php file in run function but nothing changed

 public function run(Process $process)
    {
       
		$options = $process->getOptions();
        $baseModule = $this->moduleNameMapper->toLegacy($options['payload']['baseModule']);
        $linkedModule = $options["payload"]["recordModule"];
        if($linkedModule=='Leads'){
            ['status' => $leadstatus] = $options;
            
             $this->init();
            if ($leadstatus==='Closed') {
                $this->close();
    
                return [
                    'status' => 'error',
                    'data' => [],
                    'messages' => [
                        'LBL_RECORD_NOT_FOUND'
                    ]
                ];
            }
        }   
        //parent module
       
        $baseRecordId = $options['payload']['baseRecordId'];

        //linked(subpanel) module
       
        $linkedRecordId = $options['id'];
        $linkedAction = 'edit';
        
            $responseData = [
                'handler' => 'redirect',
                'params' => [
                    'route' => $linkedModule . '/' . $linkedAction . '/' . $linkedRecordId,
                    'queryParams' => [
                        'action_module' => $linkedModule,
                        'return_action' => 'DetailView',
                        'return_module' => $baseModule,
                        'return_id' => $baseRecordId
                    ]
                ]
            ];
        
     
        $process->setStatus('success');
        $process->setMessages([]);
        $process->setData($responseData);
}

does anyone know the reason

You have to run a symfony cache clear.

bin/console cache:clear

But you should be making your changes in extensions folder, not directly in the original files

[hserour]

@pgr

symfony cache clear

where exactly in extension please

There isn’t much Documentation on Development for v8, but what there is, I recommend that you study (all of it).

So you can read this entire chapter:

Developer Guide

And then go through all these blog posts, along with the videos they contain:
