We are currently implementing conditional subforms, to be implemented with the next release of ARK. This will mean all previous modtype specific subforms will now be handled using the op_condition settings. It will also allow more specific conditions to be placed on subforms to control if/when they are to be displayed (by attribute, by user permissions, etc).

This will involve the addition of a new op_condition to any subforms that will be using the

<pre>
'op_condition' => array(
array(
'func'=> 'chkFragPresence',
'args'=> 'attr, classtype, id/nname'
), //This array restricts the view depending on the presence of an attribute
array(
'func'=> 'chkModTypeCond',
'args'=> '1'
), //This array restricts the view depending on the modtype number
array(
'func'=> 'chkUserPerm',
'args'=> array(
84
)
), //This array restricts the view to an array of users based on user id
array(
'func'=> 'chkGroupPerm',
'args'=> array(
1
)
), //This array restricts the view to an array of groups based on group id
),
</pre>

Changes to be made to all existing mod_settings:

-detfrm for Data Entry- replace 'col_type => single_col' with 'col_type => primary_col'
-change all modtype specific subforms to use new conditional subform options

In addition, the validations_fuctions.php and global_functions.php will need to be updated (although we would suggest upgrading all your php when moving to a new instance of ARK anyway rather than attempting a piecemeal patching of this new functionality).
