How to Hide Fields in RSForm!Pro for Guest Users

In this article, we’ll show you how to hide a field in RSForm!Pro when the form is viewed by a guest. If the user is logged in, the field will show up as usual. This can be easily achieved using a dropdown field, a small CSS code, a Conditional Field and a small PHP code.

 

The Dropdown field

First, we'll need to create a Dropdown field, let's name it simply, Guest, in which we'll add two items:

  • No
  • Yes
  • The Dropdown Field
 

The CSS code

Second, we don't need this Dropdown field to be displayed in the frontend area, thus, we'll need to hide. Edit your form, go to Form Properties > CSS and JavaScript and add the following code in the CSS area:

<style>
  .rsform-block-guest {
    display:none;
  }
</style>
  • The CSS code
 

The Conditional Field

Third, we'll need to craft a Condition which will hide a desired form field, for example, the Name field. It should look like this:

Hide / Name / if / all / Guest is Yes
  • The Conditional Field
 

The PHP code

Head over to Form Properties > PHP Scripts - Pre-Processing and paste the code below into the Script called before form is generated area:

if (Joomla\CMS\Factory::getUser()->guest)
{
$val['Guest'] = 'Yes';
}

Now, when a guest views the form, the Name field will be hidden. But if the user is logged in, it will be displayed.

  • The PHP code
