Hi there,

Is it possible to hide (for example) the delete button from the row of save/duplicate/delete/view/close/help buttons you see at the top right of your screen for a specific resource? Anyone ever accomplished this?

I use CSS to hide them, and sometimes JS to remove them. These is superficial though.
What are you trying to accomplish, security, aesthetics, etc?

Well, this is what happens a lot: I have some GridClassKey containers with news resources in it. When a user wants to delete one or more news resources, they press on the checkbox them and they press the top right 'delete' button. This doesn't delete the resources, but the complete GridClassKey container. Fortunately I can recover them by undeleting them, but this happens a lot with my customers. So, that's why I'm looking for a way to hide the delete button on these GridClassKey containers.

Would you like to share your solutions donshakespeare?

Example, the TinymceWrapper Extra (plugin) runs when a resource is being edited.
Now it is coming with a gallery, in this gallery I can't afford a user to use the native save/duplicate buttons.
So I have a CSS code that is fired by the plugin

#modx-abtn-save, #modx-chunk-header, #modx-abtn-help, #modx-abtn-cancel, #modx-chunk-msg, label[for="modx-chunk-snippet"], #modx-abtn-duplicate {
    display: none !important;
}

In your case, you'd write a small plugin that produces this kind of code. Done!
Could even use JS to kill keyboard shortcuts and/or remove the buttons completely from the DOM.

Thanks, that helped me! Here's my code to hide the delete button on any page which is a GridClassKey-container ('class_key' set to 'GridContainer')

Create a plugin and select onDocFormRender
Paste this code:

<?php
$class_key = $resource->get('class_key');
if ($class_key == 'GridContainer') {
$modx->regClientStartupHTMLBlock('
<style>#modx-abtn-delete {display: none !important;}</style>
');
}

Or if you want to do this just for one resource, use:

<?php
$id = $resource->get('id');
if ($id == 12345) {
$modx->regClientStartupHTMLBlock('
<style>#modx-abtn-delete {display: none !important;}</style>
');
}

And here are the ID's of the other buttons, if you want to hide them:
#modx-abtn-save
#modx-abtn-duplicate
#modx-abtn-delete
#modx-abtn-preview
#modx-abtn-cancel
#modx-abtn-help [ed. note: michelle84 last edited this post 10 years, 5 months ago.]
