Hiding replicant header with FormAPI

martina

I have a DCT with replicant fields which I would like to hide completely. My FormAPI works fine on hiding the content of the replicant fields. I am using a loop plus item.setVisible(false). However, the controls to move replicants up and down, add new one, remove - stay displayed along with the name of the replicant field.

Is there a way other than creating and hiding a parent element to hide replicants along with the controls?

Martiana,
How are you hiding the replicants? If you can provide an example that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I am having the same problem as well. Does anyone know how to hide a replicant header in addition to the child elements, so I can prevent users from adding replicant items?

Michael

I believe you can do it if you setVisible on the replicant container.

So instead of trying to hide the items such as

/replicantName[0]/itemName

just try hiding the item

/replicantName

What if I only want to make this replicat be visible to certain users only? Is there a way to restrict only some users from seeing a replicant using FormAPI?

I know the <allow> tag in datacapture.cfg can specify which user is allowed to access an item. Is there something similar in FormAPI?

Thanks

Michael

You can use IWDatacapture.getUser(); to get the user id. And then take action according to that.
