Hi, I understand that you can specify the code that you want to disable in the templates. Can you tell me specificaly what code I would disable to turn off editing, deleting and adding new entries? Also, is there a way to not return the ID for the address book entry?

First off, open web/staff/app/cls_ps_(table-name).inc.php
To disable editing records, find the line

case 'edit_init':

and add "return;" to the end like

case 'edit_init': return;

Do the same for

case 'edit_done':

The result should look like

case 'edit_done': return;

To disable adding records, do the same procedure for the following two lines:

case 'reg_init':

and...

case "reg_done":

To disable deleting records, do the same procedure for the line below:

case 'del_multi':

Now, you disabled the backend code but still there are buttons in the template.
You should remove them from the template, web/staff/tpl.(table-name).search.inc.php
You can also remove IDs from the template.
