Hiding fieldsets in a form using hook_form_alter()
The following examples shows how to hide fields/fieldsets in forms using hook_form_alter(). I suggest using the devel module to determine how to target your field(s) or fieldset(s). You can add a dpm($form) to the function during development and testing.

<?php function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) { global $user; // "hide" a few fieldsets for non-admins // (the lead developer only wants UID 1 to see these fields; I suggest doing it by role though!) // Note that you can also check out the $form_id variable for a different way to which form this is if ($form['#id'] == 'node-form' && $user->uid != 1) { $form['author']['#access'] = FALSE; $form['revision_information']['#access'] = FALSE; } } ?> |
