How to hide node edit / delete link in a view conditionally?

Question

I have a view that lists a content type in a table. There are edit/delete links so the users can edit the content. I want to display these links conditionally.

These are just orders sent in by customers and I only want to let them edit or delete them until the "status" field is set to "processed". Once their order has been processed, they shouldn't be able to modify nor delete it. I can show them a message via a custom module, but it would be nice to remove the edit/delete buttons for these nodes.

Although an old issue, the way to do this in D7 commerce is with

hook_commerce_entity_access

/**
 * Implements hook_commerce_entity_access
 */
function MODULE_commerce_entity_access($op, $entity, $account, $entity_type) {
  if ($entity_type == 'commerce_order') {
    // Prevent edit and delete of 'processed' status orders
    if ($entity->status == 'processed' && ($op == 'edit' || $op == 'delete')) {
      return FALSE;
    }
  }
}

You can user views_php module and can programmatically render edit and delete link after checking the required condidtions. So the following steps may help you

1. Install views_php module

2. now in your view add edit and delete and nid field but exclude them from display

3. now add global php field in views and load the node using the nid(you can check using dpm($data); if you have devel installed) now get the node field value and check the condition and display the edit link which you can directly get as token as you have already added that field to views.

4. follow the 3 rd step and this time render delete link. hope this helps you
