Hola Óscar del Río,

Te contesto en inglés, así el resto de la comunidad puede entender mejor la respuesta.

I would recommend you doing this through an after_ui_frame LogicHook triggered on the module you want to make the customization.

The code of the LogicHook would be like the following:

class LoadUserInEditView {

   function loadUserRolesInEditView( $bean, $event, $arguments ) {

       if( !$bean ) {
         return;
       }

       global $current_user;

       $department = $current_user->department;

       $departmentHtml = '<input type="hidden" style="display: none" id="user_department">' . $department . '</input>';

       echo $departmentHtml;

   }

}

This would set in the DOM a hidden input element which will store the department of the current user.

Then in your javascript:

document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', function() {
   showHidePanelContacts();

   var department = $('#user_department').html();

   if( department !== 'my_desired_department' ) {
      $('#field_to_hide').hide();
   } 
   
});

Espero que te sirva. Cualquier duda me dices!

Saludos/Regards,

David.

Hello David.

Your solution isn´t working for me. The department in js return null.

I can´t use the another solutions commented because i'm working with de community edition, and i can't associate the visibility of fields to one role determinate.

file.js

document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', function() {
   var department = $('#user_department').html();

   if( department !== 'Central' ) {
      $('#otras_observaciones_c').hide();
    }
      
   showHidePanelContacts();
});

function showHidePanelContacts() {
...

hook.php

<?php

class Contacts {

   function verObservaciones( $bean, $event, $arguments ) {
       if( !$bean ) {
         return;
       }

       global $current_user;

       $department = $current_user->department;

       $departmentHtml = '<input type="hidden" style="display: none" id="user_department" name="user_department" >' . $department . '</input>'

       echo $departmentHtml;

   }

}

logic_hook.php

...

$hook_array['after_ui_frame'][] = Array(1, 'Ver Observaciones', 'custom/modules/Contacts/Hooks/ContactsHook.php','Contacts', 'verObservaciones');

...

Any idea why department return null?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.

Instead of a hook try including your javascript in the view's metadata, include section.

      'includes' =>
      array (
        0 =>
        array (
          'file' => 'custom/modules/<module_name>/file.js',
        ),
      ),

Change the path as needed to match where your js lives.

Then in file.js you have the javascript to control the view.

You will need to include it in the metadata for each of the view defs: detail edit etc.

Hi Óscar del Río,

Of course that's my fault.

An input HTML element can't have HTML inside itself.

Replace this:

 $departmentHtml = '<input type="hidden" style="display: none" id="user_department" name="user_department" >' . $department . '</input>'

with this:

 $departmentHtml = '<p style="display: none" id="user_department" >' . $department . '</p>';

You can use a paragraph (p), a label (label), a title (h1, h2) or whatever accepts including HTML inside.

Maybe with the input would work like this:

 $departmentHtml = '<input type="hidden" style="display: none" id="user_department" name="user_department" value="' . $department . '" />';

Just make some tests until it works.

Hope it works.

Regards,

David.

No David, it´s my fault.

It works fine with

$departmentHtml = '<p style="display: none" id="user_department" >' . $department . '</p>';

The js was already included in the view`s metadata, thak you for the information Francesca.

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.
