hide fields description text

Hi,

I think you are right... I also found myself using CSS to hide those description divs.
I would like to give it more thought though and eventually hear more opinions about this.

Thanks,
Andrei

If it's going to go in, it will go into 6--3 branch.

Bumping this to 7 since it's been some time. I'm interested in this feature. Having to use CSS to hide stuff is sort of boring. I'd also like auto-saving to be possible on more field types, perhaps as an option. I might hide some of the save buttons and write some JS to auto-submit, and it seems like the module should do this. In fact, I think it used to in D6.

Whoa. I already logged this issue. I'm especially interested in it now that I'm using Editable Fields in Cash Flow. I don't really feel like releasing a theme or another submodule just to do this, but I probably will just bundle my own CSS as soon as someone complains.

Still would prefer to have this in this module, but I probably can't justify the time required to make it happen myself :(

On drupal 6, I solved this by adding a form_alter hook that does something like this:

 if ($form_id == 'editablefields_form') {
        unset($form['field_unationallist']['#description']);
        unset($form['field_antiharassment']['#description']);
        unset($form['field_ulw']['#description']);
    }

On D7, it looks like the form management has changed and I'm getting one form for the view and the form_id is unique to the view.

I also use the form alter on D6, to modify the displayed text in on/off checkboxes, Instead of displaying

"I agree to the Liability Waiver" , I change it to say "Agreed" by doing

        if (isset($form['field_ulw'])) {
            $form['#field_info']['field_ulw']['allowed_values'] =
                "0|Agreed\n1|Agreed";
        }

It would be really useful to have an option whether to display the field help or not. As the OP mentions, in a table they really mess things up.
