Hide text that users enter

Hi

I wonder whether it is possible to hide the text of a record that users enter, using asterisks (*****) instead of the word (or maybe the first letter of the word followed by the asterisks), in everyone else but the author. 

Kind regards

Hi,

If you're using the Website Membership plugin, this post might have a simple idea that you can use:

https://www.interactivetools.com/forum/forum-posts.php?postNum=2241262

Here's the code from that post:

<?php $CMSB = getCurrentUserFromCMS(); ?>

<?php if($CMSB): //if there is a user, do this. No user, then no error message ?>

<?php foreach ($CMSB['accessList'] as $record): ?>
<?php $accessLevel = $record['accessLevel']; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php if($CMSB['isAdmin']) : ?>
Display Admin Message / Content <br />
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if($accessLevel == 9 ) : ?>
Display Editor Message / Content <br />
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if($accessLevel == 6 ) : ?>
Display Author Message / Content <br />
<?php endif; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

If you create an if condition so that if the current logged in user has $accessLevel == 6 (author) or if $CMSB['isAdmin'] then echo the text from the field you want to control, if not show **** (or don't show that field at all)

Hope that gives you an idea or two.

Hi

Thank you for your suggestion. It seems that it might work. But where should I add this code?

Regards
