Is there any way to make the edit screen read-only?

Basically, I'm working on an app that'll be a display-only interface to a DB, the visitors should only be able to look at data, not add/edit/delete. However, each record has too much info to display on the grid. I'd like to be able to show a limited number of fields, then have the user be able to call up the edit screen (or equivalent), which lists more of the fields (including more space for large text fields), but still not be able to edit the record.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Juliean.

You can use the add_action function.
Make a function which will be show data.
More info about that function is here: http://www.grocerycrud.com/documentation/options_functions/add_action

And welcome to the forum! ;-)

And then just code my own view? That works, but there's no way to leverage the existing gGRUD edit screen?

create a view and use it with css from grocery crud library.
