disable spatial changes in edit widget

PeterHoffman — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:27:37 GMT

I have an existing layer that I want the user to just add or change text in a comments for for that polygon. I do not want the ability to edit in any way the spatial features. Is this possibble in the current edit widget?
I have tried the new attribute widget and it does not work as needed.

Peter,

You should be able to set the <updategeometry> tag to false and the <addfeatures> tag to false in the edit widget config file, see:

What I need is to set this layer specific. I want to limit editing one layer just to attributes. I have other layers that I need full editing.

I got my desired functionality by creating a second editwidget.xml file that disables update, delete or features, etc. I also excluded the other 6 feature layers.
The other editwidget.xml excludes that one layer and allows all of the feature editing.
