How do you display 'Editor' type field as read only

I would like my form to disallow editing in an editor-type field when not in insert/ modify mode. Switching it to label type simply displays the raw html.

2 choices as I see it:

Easiest way is to use the “Disabled” setting for the field (just under “Label field”) - you can say whether that field is disabled when in insert or update or both mode.

Or

Create a new text field (as a label field) that is populated with cleaned up text (maybe via a small function you create - must be loads of examples you can find with google). And then, depending on the form’s mode, hide the text field or the label field.

For this field type, I had chosen the option “insert/ update mode” for “Disabled Field” setting but it has no effect.

Right now I’m doing something akin to your second option using a temporary text field and hiding the editor field: ob_start(), echo, ob_get_contents() and then ob_end_clean();

Clumsy but works roundabout.

Thanks

Did you checked “show HTML content” on this field?

I find no such option for HTML Editor type nor for label type. Where is this?

Giu

Think that option is only on grids…
