Thanks for clarifying, I was a bit confused. The change never got into the Changelog.

And thanks to everyone for working this through.

It's a really important topic.

I'm assuming that this a V3.54 issue? I see it an erase button in V3.54 in single record sections,  but I don't see an erase button in a site with V3.50 (or am I looking in the wrong place) 

Thanks,

I appreciate you sending the alternate version - that is the preferred method for my usage.

It appears to work, but unfortunately this version throws two errors upon activation or whenever the Plugins page is visited.

1) Undefined index: menuType in /home/xxx/public_html/cms/plugins/erase-buttons-right.php on line 15

2) Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxx/public_html/cms/plugins/erase-buttons-right.php:15) in /home/xxx/public_html/cms/lib/menus/header.php on line 4

I'm not requesting that you work on this for me - just wanted to post my results. 

Thanks again.

Can you try this plugin?

It should be able to help you.

Thanks,

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,

Edit: put it at the end of the code.

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

    <style type="text/css">
      button.btn.btn-primary[name=Erase] {
          display: none;
      }
    </style>

<?php endif; ?>

Replace section_name (keeping the quotes) with the name (of the section where you want the "Erase" button to be hidden), that which can be found via the URL of the single section editor as displayed in the preview below:

Clicking "erase" button will clear the content, but does not erase the section editor. So if your concern is that the section editor will be accidentally erased, it appears that it won't.
