[SOLVED] Hide custom field in admin

Hi !

I'm using "custom htlm fields" to give warnings or comments before classical form field i.e. checkboxes and so. To avoid too much big panels in admin view, I would like to hide theses fields in backend but not in frontend.

A long time ago, I managed to do opposite on some situations based on custom css, but I cannot redo it. I tried something like that
- add a custom "hide_css" class on html fields
- add css rules in template, like and then
Unfortunately, it didn't work. Can you imagine any way ?

Best regards.

Template CSS overrides do not load in backend. If you're adding custom CSS to backend by other means then use the namespaced CSS class cbAdminMain to specifically target backend CB (e.g. .cbAdminMain .hide_css).

If you're outputting a message in a Custom HTML field you could surround it in an IF substitution to condition it to not show in backend. Example as follows.


The above usage is noted in the below substitution tutorial.

I am so disappointed by myself - I should have thought about that !!
Anyway :

Code:

[cb:if application_context="frontend"]Frontend Only[/cb:if] [cb:if application_context="administrator"]Backend Only[/cb:if]
