Erase button in single record

Hi MercerDesign,

I don't know if it will work, but possibly you could wrap Hans' whole code block in an if statement that references a 'Hide The Erase Button' checkbox in one of your admin single record sections, so that you can turn the erase button on and off.

Like:

<?php if ( $your_admin_sectionRecord['hide_the_erase_button'] == 1):?> (Hans' code) <?php endif ?>

or just add another criteria into the beginning of Han's if statement IE:

<?php if($your_admin_sectionRecord['hide_the_erase_button'] == 1 && isset($_GET['menu']) && $_GET['menu'] === "section_name"): ?>

Please post if this works and I'll add it to the CMSB Cookbook

Best,

Jerry Kornbluth

That worked, thank you

That does work, thank you, but ideally I want it to affect the site globally, this only works for on section editor.

Hi, I've done this by updating the theme css.

I would not recommend that. It will hide all the "Erase" buttons from other sections, which you might need.

Hi MercerDesign,

Can you try this plugin?

It should be able to help you.

Thanks,

Thank you, I've reverted the style sheet but where or how do I use this plugin?

You must place the file in the plugins folder, then activate the plugin in setup> plugins.
