hide field into frontend form and set default value

Hello,

I would like to hide a field (eg myfield) into an item creation form and set a default value to this field.
I have read flexicontent.org/documentation/f ... -form.html
but i don't know where to put myfield.xml file.

I have tried to configure default value using parameter "Default value" of my field but it does not seem to work

Could you please help me ?

I am using Joomla! 2.5.4 and Flexicontent 2.0 RC5 (r1315).

Thanks and regards,
Samuel

svp c'est le forum en fr tu veus que je le deplace ?

Default value e.g. for a text field will work only if field is not hidden.

You will then have to duplicate the text fields
and modify both files:
-- myfield.xml for setting the parameter that hides the field in the frontend
-- myfield.php that will use the default value not in the form only but also if no value is POSTED from the form.

A simpler solution would be to create a Joomla template override for the frontend item edit form that checks the fields outputted in the frontend and when this field is found, it is put inside a hidden html div tag

For these you will need the help of a developer

But your comment gives me a hint that we need a named id parameter for every field of item edit from.

I ll put this id to the loop that output the fields so that you can hide the field with a single CSS rule.

You can do it now:
change line
of components/com_flexicontent/views/item/tmpl/form.php
to
And add to one of your CSS files, e.g. to your joomla CSS file template.css
#fcfield-row_45 { display:none; }

WHERE 45 is the id of your field !!!

I have added property to hide ANY field in frontend / backend edit form, (the xml parameter used for this will be abandoned)

also maybe there will be a property editvalue to allow specific user group to edit a field in the item form, e.g. the have bought privilege to list their items with some extra fields ...

cool thanks
