Field::editable() method

Is this field editable?

To maximize efficiency check that $field->useRoles is true before calling this.
If you have already verified that the page is editable, omit or specify null for $page argument.
Please note: this does not check that the provided $page itself is editable. If you want that check, then use $page->editable($field) instead.

Usage

// basic usage
$bool = $field->editable();

// usage with all arguments
$bool = $field->editable($page = null, $user = null);

Arguments

Name	Type(s)	Description
`page` (optional)	Page, string, int, null	Optionally specify a Page for context
`user` (optional)	User, string, int, null	Optionally specify a different user (default = current user)

Return value

bool

Hooking $field->editable(…)

You can add your own hook events that are executed either before or after the $field->editable(…) method is executed. Examples of both are included below. A good place for hook code such as this is in your /site/ready.php file.

Hooking before

The 'before' hooks are called immediately before each $field->editable(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying arguments before they are sent to the method.

$this->addHookBefore('Field::editable', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $Field = $event->object;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (and optionally modify them)
  $page = $event->arguments(0);
  $user = $event->arguments(1);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying arguments */

  // Populate back arguments (if you have modified them)
  $event->arguments(0, $page);
  $event->arguments(1, $user);
});

Hooking after

The 'after' hooks are called immediately after each $field->editable(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying the value that was returned by the method call.

$this->addHookAfter('Field::editable', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $Field = $event->object;

  // An 'after' hook can retrieve and/or modify the return value
  $return = $event->return;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (if needed)
  $page = $event->arguments(0);
  $user = $event->arguments(1);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying the return value */

  // Populate back return value, if you have modified it
  $event->return = $return;
});
