Hi all,

I am trying to maken the K2-experience as smooth as possible for my users. I am stuck on two things, however. I have a rather big ACL set up on my site. I have many groups that a user can belong to and an even bigger list of categories that he can or can not view. I would like to hide the options for the user that he has no use of:

1) Hide the non relevant categories when editing or making an article

I found that it should be rather easy to hide the categories that are not relevant for the user. K2 already greys them out, adding a little on that and they are hidden. It looks like this:
Where does K2 do this, what file do I need to edit to add here the code?
2) Hide the non-relevant access levels

This one is going to be more complicated. I was hoping to find a plugin to do this. The user can now choose from the massive list of ACL I have and they sometimes end up with the wrong ACL and can then neither view nor edit their own work again. How could I let them only select acces levels that they have access to?

I hope someone can help me with these questions.
Greetings!

Solved question 1, see last post.

Hi. If you are not a programmer, the easiest way to do this is to add some CSS rules to hide what you want ot hide.

Any suggestions on how to do that? There is no id or name to link to.

Search this forum i think that someone has already posted the CSS code needed. Or search Google about how you can style disabled elements.

Hi Lefteris,

Could you point me to the post about that, I can not find it. I tried Google and came up with this:

This doesn't work, also when I use visibility: none

Any more tips? Really appreciated!

Really you didn't find other results on Google? Anyway try something like that:

Ah, how dumb of me not to notice the space there. Anyway, now it works and for those who wonder the same:

Edit the file: [publichtml]/media/k2/assets/css/k2.css

And add to the bottom of that file (just before /* End */):
Thanks a lot!

Hello.
I added this code to the bottom of the [publichtml]/media/k2/assets/css/k2.css
/* List option styling => hide disabled category options */
option[disabled='disabled'] { display: none; }

Everything works good in Firefox and Google Chrome, but in Internet Explorer it does not changed. Does somebody know how to fix it?
Thank you.

Hello Manny,

Using css on these form elemens will not work on every browser, instead you can use a simple jQuery script to remove all the disabled options.
