Hiding List form fields by user rights in Moss 2007

Limiting presentation of data based on user rights (NOT the same as roles --
that may be trickier).

There are Codeplex projects that offer some field-by-field visibility and editability controls; see

http://www.codeplex.com/SPListDisplaySetting

And

http://www.codeplex.com/sptoolbasket

and possibly others.

I did something similar, and to hide and show rows (fields) of the
custom form according to certain permissions, you can use the
Conditional Formatting feature!

After you've inserted your custom form into the page in SharePoint
Designer, here's what you do.
In this example, I want to only show this field to people who have
"Approval" rights on the list:

1. Select the whole row that contains the field that you want to hide.
2. In Conditional Formatting, click <Create> and choose <show content>
3. Click <Advanced...>
4. In the expression box, put:
ddwrt:IfHasRights(16)

5. Click OK twice
6. Where did I get this mysterious "16" number?

Someone named Ian has listed all of the types of rights, and the
associated number. For example, "edit" is equal to 4.

Can folder metadata be displayed in columns?

This should be an FAQ...

Adding custom columns to a folder type makes it possible (e.g.) to post status on a folder of documents.

You can do this by creating a custom site content type.

Go to Site Settings and the under Galleries select Site Content Type.

Click Create

Give your new content type a name and description

For the parent content type form select Folder Content Types

For the Parent Content Type select Folder

Select a content type group to put your new content type in. I
usually use Custom for this.

To add columns to your new content type click the "Select from
existing site columns"

Select columns from Core Contact and Calendar columns

Add the contact columns you want to see for your employees.

I haven't done exactly this but it should work. As with anything
custom I strongly recommend you try this in a development environment
first and see if it fits your needs and doesn't break anything. I
believe that would be a YMMV kind of thing ya know?

Hope that points you in the right direction.

Add a customized column in Blog List

This is a great tip on extending the Blog (and perhaps other lists?) It appears to require MOSS, not just WSS.

List......

Create a new site column (instead of on the list level). For column
type, select "Image with formatting and constraints for publishing".

Then, add that new column to your blog. See if this gives you the
results you're looking for.
