Also search around line 196: <pre><code><li><img src="images/icons/cross_22.gif" align="absmiddle"/> &nbsp;<a onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this entry?');" href="edit_entry.php?form_id=<?php echo $form_id; ?>&id=<?php echo $entry_id; ?>&delete=1" class="big_dotted_link">Delete</a></li></code></pre> delete that block of code as well. raj000 on "Disable Delete" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/disable-delete#post-11354 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 22:28:42 +0000 raj000 11354@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hi, I have made the above changes recommended to fredwin and it has worked well for quiet a long time. However, I recently realized that user can still delete the transaction if the user is on edit_entry.php . Is there a way to disable the delete option on the edit entry mode. Thanks redityo on "Disable Delete" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/disable-delete#post-10185 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:34:57 +0000 redityo 10185@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hi, Yes, it's possible. To do so, try to follow these steps : For "manage-entries.php" file, you can change these code in 409 : <pre><code><div style="float: left;padding-bottom: 5px;padding-left: 8px"> <img src="images/icons/arrow_turn_left.gif" align="absmiddle"/>&nbsp;</code></pre> into <pre><code><div style="<?php if($form_id == 1) {echo "display:none;";} ?>float: left;padding-bottom: 5px;padding-left: 8px"> <img src="images/icons/arrow_turn_left.gif" align="absmiddle"/>&nbsp;</code></pre> and for "view-entry.php", you can change these code : <pre><code><li><img src="images/icons/cross_22.gif" align="absmiddle"/> &nbsp; <a onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this entry?');" href="view_entry.php?form_id= <?php echo $form_id; ?>&id= <?php echo $entry_id; ?>&delete=1" class="big_dotted_link">Delete</a></li></code></pre> into <pre><code><?php if ($form_id != 1) { ?> <li><img src="images/icons/cross_22.gif" align="absmiddle"/> &nbsp; <a onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this entry?');" href="view_entry.php?form_id= <?php echo $form_id; ?>&id= <?php echo $entry_id; ?>&delete=1" class="big_dotted_link">Delete</a></li> <?php } ?></code></pre> That would remove delete link/button for form 1. Don't forget to change the id's with yours. raj000 on "Disable Delete" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/disable-delete#post-10177 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 14:30:34 +0000 raj000 10177@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hi, Can i implement this for a specific form only. Not for all forms / entries. Thanks fredwin on "Disable Delete" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/disable-delete#post-2845 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 09:08:18 +0000 fredwin 2845@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Excellent. That works nicely. I will try and find a tool to let me delete the entry direct from the SQL database. I think that one I have posted before can do that. Will try and remember to post an update when I work it out. redityo on "Disable Delete" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/disable-delete#post-2832 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:24:11 +0000 redityo 2832@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hi... You can hide/remove delete entries by make modification in "view-entry.php" and "manage_entries.php" in view-entry.php files you can edit line 214 , from <pre><code><li><img src="images/icons/cross_22.gif" align="absmiddle"/> &nbsp; <a onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this entry?');" href="view_entry.php?form_id= <?php echo $form_id; ?>&id= <?php echo $entry_id; ?>&delete=1" class="big_dotted_link">Delete</a></li></code></pre> to <pre><code></code></pre> and in manage-entries.php you can edit in line 409 with adding style "display:none" properties <pre><code><div style=" display:none;float: left;padding-bottom: 5px;padding-left: 8px"> <img src="images/icons/arrow_turn_left.gif" align="absmiddle"/></code></pre> Since machform only use single user I think it's not possible to have different password for now. I hope this can help you ... fredwin on "Disable Delete" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/disable-delete#post-2831 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:50:54 +0000 fredwin 2831@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hi Yuniar Is it possible to disable the delete file option, or even to have a different password required to delete the entries? I am looking at this as we have had one of our admin guys who acidentally deleted an entry, but didn't tell anyone and it was a pretty important entry. Fred
