editable=False? visible=False?

[patrickk]

when using the field option "editable=False", the field is not
displayed in the admin at all.
is there a way to show the value of the field without making it
editable?

e.g, when I insert the current user on save, I´d like to display the
user in the change-form without having the possibility to edit the
user.

thanks,
patrick

This isn't possible by throwing an option into your field definition.

If you trust your Admin-site users, the easiest thing to do is
probably add the disabled [1]_ attribute to the element via custom
admin javascript [2]_.
