It would be great if an empty field would be hidden if it's value output is empty. I coded something myself which hides an extra field if the value is empty but it only seems to work with single box fields (text box) as it has only 1 value. Links for example have 3 values and will not hide for a retarded reason. Could JoomlaWorks send me a code snippet that would hide ANY extra field if the value output echoe's as empty. I can't seem to figure it out...
I keep pushing this for the 3rd time. Not because i'm an asshole, but because Joomlaworks doesn't even reply to 90% of the posts in their forums. Now that is just stupid.

I believe that this will make extra fields SO MUCH more usefull, and it gets rid of the group's. I hate them.

BUMPING THIS. WHERE ARE THE DEVS?

i managed to hide the empty fields, it took a little reworking of the css and the template but its definitely doable. it works in everything so far, except the beloved ie6.

omfg how did you do that!!!! omfg omfg omfg please tell me! This way i might be able to perfect it with some php and make it work in ie6 :O

Hi everyone,

here's my solution to hide the fields with empty value :

I've added some code to the div that displays ExtraFields in my own item.php k2 template file.
Here's the code of my div...

Hope it will help...

Bravo... that's all i can say. It fucking worked.

Here are some issues tho, not a problem but just pointing it out.

The field ONLY disappears when the link area contains http:// that's the only case. It even disappears when the description area has text in it. If the link part contains http:// the field will disappear, no matter what. It's cool tho! Thanks a lot!

I think i just jizzed in my pants.

Wow... Thanks a lot!!!! This works perfectly!

Nolbert,

Thank you so much for providing this code. Well thought out solution and works just like it should. You saved me from having to program my own solution and I can't thank you enough.

This should definitely be added to the K2 core.

Actually, since we can use the extra field as another way of organizing content.

You can use the the excellent k2 plugin here to filer your extra fields content: community.getk2.org/forum/topics/k2-extra-fields-filter-and

Is there a way for us to actually hide, extra fields even when they are not empty?

just deselect options "Show Extra Fields" in the Cat in Backend

Hey thanks for the info, but i meant, hide items within the extra fields. Currently its all or nothing, is there a way to show or hide them selectively?

Devs? update please?

My workaround is to not use Extra Fields but use their classes and make my own lists in the Content section.
This forum doesn't support>:|

{div class="itemExtraFields"}
{h3}Additional Info{/h3}
{ul}
{li class="even typeTextfield group2"}
{span class="itemExtraFieldsLabel"} Label: {/span}
{span class="itemExtraFieldsValue"} Value{/span},{br class="clr"/},{/li}
{li class="odd typeTextfield group2"},{span class="itemExtraFieldsLabel"}Width:{/span} {span},{/span},{br class="clr"/},{/li}
{/ul}
{/div}
If you don't like something about their output edit the K2.css fill for that class.

Implementing Olivier Nolbert's code causes Odd and Even rows to be out of sync.

Do you have an example ?

Sure. For example I have 5 fields. For the output, the first field will have the gray color second field will have white third field will have the gray so on and so forth. When I leave the second field blank the third field will have the gray color so what happens with the output I have two rows with the gray. Indeed the ExtraField row is hidden but the odd/even coloring is out of sync. Not sure if that can be fixed. Are "odd" and "even" actual variables that can be checked for so they can be switched when the preceding ExtraField is empty?

Ok,

It's clear for me now. Sorry.

Well, i think it's possible to check the rows in js after have hidden the empty fields.

I'll take a look this weekend.

The js solution (mootools) to fix the extrafields li odd/even classes

I think there's a php solution in the code i've previously posted but this one works.
