Need some help on this on smarty dropdown values

Working on anther variation of implementing smarty and customcode in editview.

I have the dropdown sales stage. I want it to be editable by the admins (I’m passing this value to the editview as $isAdministrator). This part is working. However, if it’s closed won or closed lost, I no longer wish the stage to be editable.

I can ouput the “value” of sales_stage no problem, but struggling to output the Label for the value.

I’m currently trying this, but not sure if I’m implementing the syntax correctly. Anyone done this before?

6 => 
        array (
          0 => 
		  array(
		  'name' => 'sales_stage',
		  'label' =>'LBL_SALES_STAGE',
		  'customCode' => '{if $isAdministrator}
		  @@FIELD@@
		  {elseif $fields.sales_stage.value eq "Closed Won" || $fields.sales_stage.value eq "Closed Lost"}
		      <span>{$app_list_strings.sales_stage_dom[$fields.sales_stage.value]}</span>

		  {else}
		  @@FIELD@@
		  {/if}',

		  ),

$app_list_strings… is always null.

Do I have to pass this value same as $isAdministrator? Or should this already be available in editview?

It never fails, I can work on something for hours, and 5 minutes after I pose a question, I figure it out. Well, at least maybe I’ll help someone else…

First you have to create a custom view.edit.php in /custom/modules/NAME OF MODULE/views

In this case I’m passing 3 things over to editview, readonly, $isAdministrator and the $app list.

class OpportunitiesViewEdit extends ViewEdit
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->useForSubpanel = true;
        $this->useModuleQuickCreateTemplate = true;
    }
    
    public function display()
    {
	global $app_list_strings, $current_user;
	

        // Check if the user is an administrator
        $isAdministrator = $current_user->is_admin;

        // Set the $readOnly variable based on the user's administrator status
        $readOnly = $isAdministrator ? '' : 'readonly = "readonly"';

        // Assign $readOnly to Smarty template
        $this->ev->ss->assign('readOnly', $readOnly);
        
        //Assign $isAdministrator to Smarty template
        $this->ev->ss->assign('isAdministrator', $isAdministrator);
	
	 // Pass app_list_strings to Smarty template
        $this->ev->ss->assign('APP_LIST', $app_list_strings);

        parent::display(); // Call the parent display function to render the view
    }
}

Then in editviewdefs.php, you can construct your custom code like this:

'customCode' => '{if $isAdministrator}
		  @@FIELD@@
		  {elseif $fields.sales_stage.value eq "Closed Won" || $fields.sales_stage.value eq "Closed Lost"}
		          <span>{$APP_LIST.sales_stage_dom[$fields.sales_stage.value]}</span>
		  {else}
		  @@FIELD@@
		  {/if}',
