hide a field in webform components

Question

I want to hide the field "form key" in all of the webform components. I tried doing it with "*hook_form_alter*" and with "[#access] = false" but I can't succeed in this. I also tried to use "*hook_webform_component_load*".

But in all of those, i can't understand exactly what I need to do to hide the form key field in all of the components in all of the webforms. I can't even hide one component's "form key" field. I don't understand which is the field that i need to modify.

p.s - im using form_builder too.

I'm doing something wrong.

any help will be appreciated. thanks, alexandra.

Answer 1

The webform_civicrm module does this (actually it disables it rather than hiding it)

You can see the relevant code here (note this function runs in the context of hook_form_alter).

You could hide it by doing something similar but setting $form['form_key']['#type'] = 'hidden';

Answer 2

Although I have no experience with the Webform Locked Fields module myself, it sounds like the module does exactly what you are asking for (so no custom code needed).

With this module you can lock fields in a webform so that those fields cannot be deleted or modified except by administrators with appropriate permissions.

Users who have the "administer webform locked fields" permission will see a checkbox titled "Webform creator can modify" when they edit a webform component. If that box is unchecked, the component can only be modified or deleted by users who have the the "administer webform locked fields" permission. Other users who have webform creation permission will be taken to a page that says "Not allowed" if they attempt to edit or delete that component.
