You need to change the item.php

Aleksandr said:Hi guys, thanks for all your time!
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.
