[Erp5-dev] Formulator patch that disables fields on read-only forms

[Jacek Medrzycki]

Hi

This is a small Formulator patch that disables (sets as 'not editable') 
all fields on read only form (that is, the form without the "Save" button).
Normally, fields on read only forms are editable and users sometimes get 
confused when, after entering data, they find there is no way to save it.

The patch is instance-wide for now. I think it should be form-specific, 
that is a form should have an entry in "Settings" tab that switches the 
functionality on or off. For now, I get Key Error on existing forms 
after adding new property to "Settings" tab.

We are also thinking about modifying formulator in a way that makes it 
render not editable field as disabled HTML control, not text. Rendering 
not editable fields as text has a strange effects sometimes (eg. 
checboxes are rendered as 1 or 0).

Regards
Jacek
