Q: Thank you for your prompt reply. But i was wondering where should I paste this code? Can you please explain the working of the javascript toolbar menu function
dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)
I have 5 items in the javascript toolbar menu : Admin Options, Status Report, Remarks, Edit Profile, Data Entry.
I want to disable some fields for different users.
I have 3 role id's set in my database.
I want certain fields disabled for different users.
For eg : For Roleid =1 , i.e admin , I want all items to be visible.
For Roleid =2 , i dont want the Admin Options to be visible.
For Roleid=3 , I dont want Admin Options & Status reports.
Can you please elaborate on the working of the changeItemVisibility function. I was confused as there were no examples to demonstrate the code.
A: Notice also that you should set
var dynamic=1;
parameter to use API functions.
