Resolved Hidding fields in article form (back-end)

Hi,
I need to hide some fields in the back-end article form.
Since there is no "visible in back-end" option in the Content Type Manager I keep overriding the /administrator/components/com_form2content/views/form/tmpl/edit.php file in order to add a class to the div control-group.

I change the line 113 (ie. for the 6.17.4 version) from



<div class="control-group">


to 



<div class="control-group field<?php echo($field->id);?>">


It works but since this file keeps changing in every new version, I need to redo the same thing again and again…

Could you please add this in your code? (or something more clever!)
Thanks

Agree, but also good to know the override works. I will ask Julien to add the code. I believe he is preparing a next release.

Hi Marc,

Should be possible to add. I personally never did it but isn't a template override for this possible?

Hi Patrick,
A administrator's template override is possible and it's what I do.
But since the file keeps changing (and especially since your 6.17.x versions) I can't just do the override and forget it.
I need to redo the override for each new version coming from the f2c bakery, every time!
