How to diplay apex:inputField as readonly on edit page

Hely yall,
We have a custom VF QuoteLineItem page that automatically calculates Total price based on Discount and Unit Price entered. Is there a way to lock down the UnitPrice  field so that it's only editable by certain profiles? It's an editable apex:inputField. I've tried using an outputField, which displays the UnitPrice but can no longer calculate the Total price. Here's a screenshot and code snippet.User-added image 
<apex:inputField value="{!item.Item.UnitPrice}" rendered="{!IF(($Profile.Name =='System Administrator'), true , false)}"/>

Hello Kon Dele,

Since the condition that you have to change its the disable status I think the best way to go its Javascript + Jquery. You might need to add jquery as an static resource or enable the remote site for google apis so you can include that script.

I am assuming you can have a table with several rows. 

Then you can do something like this:

on the top of the pages add this:
  
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
	$(function (){
			var status = "{!IF(($Profile.Name =='System Administrator'), false  , true)}"; 
			var fieldList = $(".fieldRef");
			if(fieldList.length > 0){                         	
				for (var i = 0, len = fieldList.length; i < len; i++) {
					fieldList[i].disabled = status== "true" ? true : false;    
				}
			}
		}
	)
</script>
​if you don't have a table of field change the JavaScript to a single result:
  
var status = "{!IF(($Profile.Name =='System Administrator'), false  , true)}"; 
var fieldList = $(".fieldRef");
fieldList.disabled = status== "true" ? true : false;

Then you need to add a class selector your field (you can do this by Id but it can get complex), this way you can find all fields with the same selector.
  
<apex:inputField value="{!item.Item.UnitPrice}" styleClass="fieldRef" />

Please give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Regards.

HI,

A couple of different one, you should be able to do math inside of the field.  For example, I did the following
  
<apex:outputfield  value="{!(guageChartMargin - GuageMaxMargin)*1000}"/>

Or, if you did want to do it by a profile, you could use a lookup, and then an if statement within the field
  
<apex:output field value={! if (true, do this, do this instead }" />

For that to work of course you would need to pull over the user profile, and use the if statement against it.
