class TCPShowHideOptions {
	function __construct() {
		add_action( 'tcp_hide_product_fields', array( &$this, 'tcp_hide_product_fields' ), 99 );
	}
	function tcp_hide_product_fields() {
		if ( ! is_admin() ) return;
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
		if ( $current_user->ID > 0 ) {
			foreach( $current_user->roles as $role ) {
				if ( $role == 'merchant' ) : ?>
var fields = [ '#tcp_type', '#tcp_weight', '#tcp_tax_id', '#tcp_initial_units', '#tcp_is_visible'
, '#tcp_hide_buy_button', '#tcp_exclude_range', '#tcp_sku', '#tcp_order', '#tcp_attribute_sets'
, '#tcp_selected_buybutton', '#tcp_stock', '#tcp_initial_stock' ];

for( var i in fields ) {
	jQuery( fields[i] ).parent().parent().hide();
}
				<?php endif;
			}
		}
	}
}

new TCPShowHideOptions();
?>

As you can see the plugin consists, only, of one class, like all TheCartPress project, which only uses an “action” or “hook” to write a few lines of Javascript on the page.

To hide or show fields, you only need to modify the list of “fields“.

To create a plugin based on this code, you need to create a file with this code and save it in your wp-content/plugins folder of your WordPress installation.
