    I am using the ‘form’ plugin to allow users to edit their directory entries. Once made public by an administrator at the foot of the form there is the ‘visibility’ section with a single (selected) radio button ‘public’. Two questions:
    1) Can end users not have the ability to make their entries ‘private’ or ‘unlisted’? If not why show them the visibility section with only one choice which cannot be altered?
    2) Before an administrator approves their entry it does not seem to be possible for an end user to edit it as there is no link to ‘View my Directory Entry’ and then on to ‘Edit Entry’ until this point?

    Correctly, from the frontend, a user can not change the visibility to a setting in which they do not have view permissions as set on the Connections : Roles admin page. If they did, they would lose the ability to view and therefore the ability to edit their entry. So, basically, they will only be shown the options they have permissions to view. I am aware of this limitation and it will be removed in a future update.

    Thanks Steven

    Ahead of any update what is the best way of hiding the ‘Visibility’ section from end users in Form? I cannot find any documentation on Form shortcodes to see if it is there. It does not seem to be on the settings page as far as I can tell.

    I guess it could be hidden in CSS somewhere, but doing this at my template level gets overridden…

    #cn-metabox-visibility.cn-metabox {display:none;}

    I have tried all the .css files I can think of relating to the Form plugin and the Market template I am using, but adding the display:none does not seem to apply. Any ideas as to what else I could do or what I may be doing wrong?

    That is the correct CSS, if it is being overridden, try adding the !important flag, like so:
    #cn-metabox-visibility.cn-metabox {display:none !important;}

    That should do the trick.

    !important – of course! why did I not try that! Thanks Steven – works when set in the CSS at the theme level now.
