Is there a way to display a field in admin form but not in site form?

Is there a way to display a field in admin form but not in site form? Same for listing. Some columns should be visible in admin that should not be in front end for the same view/table.

Yes, you will edit the resulting com_xxx\src\tmpl\{table name here}\default.php file for the list view and com_xxx\src\tmpl\{table name here}\edit.php for the form view. In that you will find the code that generates the HTML for your component similar to:

<form action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(Uri::getInstance()->toString()); ?>" method="post"
name="adminForm" id="adminForm">
<?php if(!empty($this->filterForm)) { echo LayoutHelper::render('joomla.searchtools.default', array('view' => $this)); } ?>
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table table-striped" id="xxList">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class=''>
<?php echo HTMLHelper::_('grid.sort', 'COM_XX_ID', 'a.id', $listDirn, $listOrder); ?>
</th>
.......more columns here.........
</tr>
</thead>



Simple remove the headers for the columns you wish to hide makign sure to do this in the head and body part of the table.

A similar method is used for both the admin part and the site part.

Hello,

Yes, you can use the Django admin ModelAdmin class to define fields to be displayed in the admin form and list view, separate from the fields displayed in the site form. Use the list_display attribute to define columns for the list view, and fields attribute for the admin form.
