Hi there,

would it be possible to code a text field visible and editable only by admins on the submission form, but then visible to anyone in the node output?

This would be used by site's owners/editors to add valuable extra information to content types: for example some final notes, an editorial review, or any other important info that only admins are allowed to fill in.

Thank you

*bump* No one else interested in this, or has an idea about the feasability of it? :o

I think others need it (I do) but it's going to be hard to do. This would take the per-field privacy options that have been discussed in another thread, and they don't seem to be going anywhere. I am playing around with a way to group fields, then assign access to a group so I could have a group of fields that only an admin should see. It's partly working but not tested and I'm heading out of town. When I get back, I'll do some more work on it and post my results.

KarenS, i read your comments on the per-field permissions topics (actually i am interested too in that, and also asked Bèr to investigate more on it, but unfortunately he arrived at that blind road..), and having groups and admin-only groups of fields is definitely an interesting concept.

I will stick around this thread in the future. Also i am in a particular "bounty" mood in this time, just in case you or anyone else is willing to find a solution to this! ;)

cheers

The fieldgroup module is now in CCK core, and there are more current outstanding issues for adding per-field (http://drupal.org/node/63240) and per-group (http://drupal.org/node/78563) permissions, so I'm now marking this as a duplicate.
