customize custom field Access level

Hi,

There is no way to restrict the managing of each field based on user groups in HikaShop with the options available.
It would require custom code development.

Hi,

You'll want to edit the file "form" of the view "field" via the menu Display>Views in order to add the selection of the ACL for each custom field. You'll want to add a new column in the hikashop_field table in order to store that new data for each field.
Then, you'll want to modify the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/controllers/field.php in order to add a check on the store and the remove processes so that the system doesn't allow for it based on the data from the new setting that you added in the form view file.

Hi,

This method loads an instance of the class of the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/types/acltable.php
Then, this class has a method to display the ACL selector.
It doesn't save anything. The save is usually handled by the saveForm/save functions of the class file of the element you're editing.
So if you're saving a custom field, it's the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/field.php where the saveForm function stores the ACLs displayed by the type.acltable

Hi,

You can look at the store function of the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/controllers/config.php
That's where the configuration page is saved and thus, where the ACL settings are saved from the type.acltable used on the configuration page.
Here is more specifically the code used:

$formData = JRequest::getVar( 'config', array(), $source, 'array' );
		$aclcats = JRequest::getVar( 'aclcat', array(), '', 'array' );
		if(!empty($aclcats)){
			if(JRequest::getString('acl_config','all') != 'all' && !hikashop_isAllowed($formData['acl_config_manage'])){
				$app->enqueueMessage(JText::_( 'ACL_WRONG_CONFIG' ), 'notice');
				unset($formData['acl_config_manage']);
			}
			$deleteAclCats = array();
			$unsetVars = array('manage','delete','view');
			foreach($aclcats as $oneCat){
				if(JRequest::getString('acl_'.$oneCat) == 'all'){
					foreach($unsetVars as $oneVar){
						unset($formData['acl_'.$oneCat.'_'.$oneVar]);
					}
					$deleteAclCats[] = $oneCat;
				}
			}
		}

Hi,

To get the field data, you should do like that:
$formData = JRequest::getVar( 'data', array(), '', 'array' );

Hi,

You need to do the saving of your new option yourself in the database where you want to store it. So you could add a MySQL query.
I don't see any in your code.

Hi,

It's up to you to get data of your HTML checkboxes in $_POST, and it's up to do to store that data in new columns of the hikashop_field table, and it's up to you to then use this data in the controllers/field.php file (and other files) to allow/block the edition of the custom fields based on that data.

We're talking about custom coding here. So you're supposed to do that on your end. I can't provide you all the changes to do where. First it depends on how you want to do it, and second custom coding is not part of the support we offer. I'm happy to give hints on how it should be done (like I already did) and answer questions, but in the end it's up to you.
