Incognito Field plugin for Craft CMS
====================================

[](#incognito-field-plugin-for-craft-cms)

PlainText drop-in replacement that can be set to `disabled`, `hidden` or `readonly`.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This plugin requires Craft CMS 5.0 or later.

What is it?
-----------

[](#what-is-it)

Incognito Field adds a custom fieldType to Craft CMS called Incognito. Incognito fields work exactly like regular PlainText fields, except that they can be configured to be `disabled`, `readonly` or `hidden` for element edit forms.

A good example use case for Incognito is whenever you need a field that shouldn't be editable via the CP – e.g. if you want to save some data from a feed or external API on your element model.

*Incognito Field works both standalone and inside Matrix blocks.*

Configuring Incognito Field
---------------------------

[](#configuring-incognito-field)

Create a new field (or convert an existing Plain Text field) as *Incognito Field*. Select the rendering mode you want in the *Mode* setting to make the field `hidden`, `readonly`, `disabled` (or a regular, visible and editable PlainText field). Optionally, override the mode in *Mode Override* which you can find in the advanced field settings.

### Overriding the rendering mode with Twig logic

[](#overriding-the-rendering-mode-with-twig-logic)

You can use Twig in the `Mode Override` setting field to optionally override the rendering mode. **A good use case example is to have the field render as an editable PlainText field for admin users, but be hidden, read only or disabled for everyone else.**

#### Mode Override examples

[](#mode-override-examples)

Render as an editable PlainText field if the element is an unsaved draft:

```
{{ element.getIsUnsavedDraft() ? 'plain' }}
```

Render as an editable PlainText field for admin users:

```
{{ currentUser.admin ? 'plain' }}
```

Render as a visible, read-only field for users in a particular user group:

```
{{ currentUser.isInGroup('editors') ? 'readonly' }}
```

Render as an editable PlainText field for users that have *edit site permissions* for a particular site:

```
{% set site = craft.app.sites.getSiteByHandle('germany') %}
{{ currentUser.can('editSite:' ~ site.uid) ? 'plain' }}
```
