Formfilter

Formfilter provides tools and a user interface for doing common form altering tasks. Includes a UI for selecting which fields to hide (passing the elements as values, if possible). Also includes an optional filtering of node forms to promote two fields and then put fieldsets in an 'advanced options' fieldset, to declutter the form.

Formfilter can also be used by module developers to fetch altered versions of forms.

Using Form Filter

Form Filter allows admin users with 'administer form filters' permission to hide - for each specific form - selected input fields from users who don't have the 'view forms without filtering' permission.

Admins will see, at the foot of every input form (for example the Node Edit tab), a 'Filter this form' link. Following this link brings up a version of the form with a Form Filter checkbox adjacent to each field (eg 'Hide /Title/: [x]'). Selecting a checkbox will hide that field from unauthorised users, while allowing all the unselected fields to be used normally.

Because users with 'view forms without filtering' permission see the unfiltered version of each form, there is also a link to 'Preview a filtered version of this form' that appears once some formfiltering has been applied.
