Readonly fields in Tridion 2013 SP1

Question

I am trying to implement the read only field in Tridion 2013 SP1 using GUI Extension. I have followed all the steps provided in this article

But it is not working. Hope I have missed something at the last step -

Here is the entry for for my extension in System.config file -

<editor name="Readonly">
       <installpath>D:\tridion\web\WebUI\WebRoot\Editors\Readonly</installpath>
       <configuration>Readonly.config</configuration>
       <vdir>Readonly</vdir>
</editor>   

May I have to add any thing else into the System.config ? Please suggest.

Answer 1

Did you try it with the comment from Mark Sizer at the bottom of the article?

Also - this would be needed for Production systems. For Dev, I usually disable the GUI minification feature, to make debugging extensions easier...

var addJquery = function ()
{
// … jQuery here …
//YM: to avoid conflict with the Outbound Email extension, we define a new shorthand for jQuery
window.$j = jQuery.noConflict(true);
};
addJquery();

Answer 2

Did you update the modification number in the system.config file?

When you say

not working

what do you mean?

[ ] Crashes your computer,

[ ] Tridion doesn't load > nothing,

[ ] Tridion doesn't load > partially renders,

[ ] gives a JS error in the JS Console,

[ ] Writes something specific to the logs.
