A solution to do that :

add to the li element either the 'id' or 'class' property with the extrafield label

If the extrafield is empty add the class 'empty' to the li element

In css :

li.extrafieldlabel.empty {display:none} /* if you've chosen to add extrafield as class
li#extrafieldlabel.empty {display:none} /* if you've chosen to add extrafield as id

do that for each extrafield you want to hide if it's empty

The js worked perfectly thank you very much!

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

Hey guys, just thought I would let you know I was able to figure out how to hide empty fields directly in your item.php file within your template. It works by slightly modifying the 'foreach' statement K2 uses to output the Extra Fields. What it is does run the check first for the extra fields and then checks to see if any extra fields are empty. If they are not, it does it's normal mojo, if any are, it outputs nothing. I've attached the PHP code. Let me know if you run into any issues. Thanks!

Hi Zach,

Thanks for sharing your solution...

Just have to care about the extrafield link type which default value is 'http://'...A solution is to delete it in the extrafield form or to test the extrafield type in the k2 item.php. cf my item.php code above.

Good work Zach. I noticed your solution will also suffer from potentially breaking the odd even row highlighting. This is easily corrected with something like:
$class = ($class == 'even') ? 'odd' : 'even';

and changing the echo statement to:
echo $class;

I also added a quick check for the link issue Olivier mentions above:
if((!empty($extraField->value)) && (($extraField->value) != "http://"))

See attached for a revised version.

James,
Thanks for the fix, I really appreciate it!

You guys ROCK! I was just browsing and came across this and can use it SO much! WooOOooT!

Big hugs and smooches to those that take them... To the rest a proper handshake and a composed, "Thank you very much, Sir."

This works really well. Thanks so much for this advice.

This is so great!!

The only thing is that when i use k2 searchbox option results page show empty fields. any idea about how to avoid this?

Thanks a lot for such a nice improvement!

OMG, found it on the first search. Amazing.

This should be implemented on the next release.

Thanks a lot guys.

You need to change the item.php

I've just started to use K2 and I am not that technical to understand the mod. Could you please explain what file should I change to hide the empty fields..??

Thanks!

Fantastic hack, but I've the problem, that empty textareas are still visible.

Hi Olivier,

I tried your code snippet to hide empty fields, but it doesn't work for me. Can you say in which position (line) you change the item.php? In my case I see the additional infos twice (see the image).
What's the problem?
BTW: the empty field is really hidden :-)

Thanx

Hello Bernd,

Yes, empty textareas are still visible. Big drawback. The length of empty textareas string is 6...

We can add such a test :
if ($extraField->type == "textarea" && (strlen($extraField->value) < 7)) { $extraField->value = ""; }

before the main test : if(!empty($extraField->value))

Regards,
Bernard Delvasse

Hi Marcus,

I think you see the info twice because you have to REPLACE and not ADD the modified code to your item.php

In v2.3, in item.php, it's from line 254 to 268

Hello folks,

I attempted to implement this hack. Please see attached file for details. And get exactly nothing as a result, i.e. empty fields are still displayed as empty fields, just like without the hack.

Any suggestions?

Apologies. The hack does work as intended for item.php. I modified item.php but was looking at the category listing, hence my previous statement.

I then applied the same modification to category_item.php and that worked as well, which is great. But there is a small problem here. Stylistic information is gone. I wonder whether I will be able to recreate it with css, or perhaps someone could alter this hack specifically for category_item.php.

Check the first linethis would be different than the original which was
that may be the problem

The code (that is being replaced) in item.php and category_item.php is different. As I said, the hack works fine for item.php for which it was intended. But when I apply it for category_item.php, there is a mismatch with css. So either the hack needs to be reworked specifically for category_item.php or css adjusted.
