Disable user custom field edit

[zelatech]

Hi, I have to disable editing the custom field after registration (VAT for example).

 

I tried to delete from clientareadetails.tpl

 

{if $customfields}
{foreach from=$customfields key=num item=customfield}
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="customfield{$customfield.id}">{$customfield.name}</label>
<div class="controls">
{$customfield.input} {$customfield.description}
</div>
</div>
{/foreach}
{/if}

 

but on client details page i get error "Custom Field required"

 

any idea how to?

 

thanks

{if $customfields}
               {foreach from=$customfields key=num item=customfield}
                   <div class="form-group">
                       <label class="control-label" for="customfield{$customfield.id}">{$customfield.name}</label>
                       <div class="control">
                           {$customfield.input|replace:'/>':'readonly />'|replace:'<select':'<select disabled'} {$customfield.description}
                       </div>
                   </div>
               {/foreach}
           {/if}  

that will disable all text custom fields from being edited.
