Michael ThenaMichael Thena asked 1 week ago

I want to use the repeater option for a registration form. Users will have ability to frontend edit for changes, but I want to eliminate them from just "removing" an entry.  They can swap out info, but not remove/delete someone.

I've tried a number of CSS sytes, but can't seem to hide it.  I've attached a screenshot of the code for the form.

Did you try this: .frm_remove_form_row.frm_button {display: none !important;}

Victor's suggestion will work, however, you should note that if someone clicks the Add button and didn't mean to, since there are required fields in the repeater, the user will be stuck without being able to remove the repeater row.

Well - I'm open/looking for options where users who can go back and "edit" a registration, can't just "delete" someone without that information being notified to me. Have no problem editing and fully replacing a registrant with another. Open to options.

Oh, and yes, that I was aware would be 1 downfall of hiding the "remove" button.

It'll be a bit of custom coding, however, you could use frm_pre_update_entry to see if someone has deleted one of the repeater entries and force a notification to you. https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/frm_pre_update_entry/#kb-check-if-value-has-changed
It might also be possible via Formidable or jQuery validation to not submit a repeater entry that's completely blank. I'm just a really big opponent of allowing a user to get stuck and have no choice but to start all over again with whatever they were trying to do.

Totally agree. Just trying to find a way to capture a deletion.
