Hello,

 

I just downloaded your extension to display details about some items.

I used the extrafield option to add personal details that I need, and I would like to know if exist a way to hide the empty field. I mean, if I put some info about a phone, like:

Model: 04052

Weight: 400

Height:

 

there's a way to hide the "height" that I didn't fill?!

 

Thanks!

 

You might try this in your override

Helllo,

I need to copy this line

if(!empty($extraField->value)) :[/code]


 

where?!

 

thanks.

The test should be put in either item.php or category_item.php in the block that is displaying the extra fields, depending on which view you are using.

This should preferably be done inside a K2 override so as not to loose the changes on upgrade

Please see friend request

Hello,
But where do I have to insert the new line? Because I'm not very good in php, I don't want to make a mistake :)

here the code I finded in item.php:

 

 <?php if($this->item->params->get('itemExtraFields') && count($this->item->extra_fields)): ?>      <!-- Item extra fields -->      <div class="itemExtraFields">          <h3><?php echo JText::_('Additional Info'); ?></h3>          <ul>            <?php foreach ($this->item->extra_fields as $key=>$extraField):?>            <li class="<?php echo ($key%2) ? "odd" : "even"; ?> type<?php echo ucfirst($extraField->type); ?> group<?php echo $extraField->group; ?>">                <span class="itemExtraFieldsLabel"><?php echo $extraField->name; ?>:</span>                <span class="itemExtraFieldsValue"><?php echo $extraField->value; ?></span>            </li>            <?php endforeach; ?>            </ul>        <div class="clr"></div>      </div>

 

Here's a simple solution, although it has some limitations.  If you need a more elegant solution see this post.

 

<?php foreach ($this->item->extra_fields as $key=>$extraField):?>

            <?php if (!empty($extraField->value)) { ?>[/code]                    <li class="<?php echo ($key%2) ? "odd" : "even"; ?> type<?php echo ucfirst($extraField->type); ?> group<?php echo $extraField->group; ?>">                        <span class="itemExtraFieldsLabel"><?php echo $extraField->name; ?>:</span>                        <span class="itemExtraFieldsValue"><?php echo $extraField->value; ?></span>                    </li>

           <?php } ?><?php endforeach; ?>

There is also a tutorial here: hide-empty-k2-extra-fields-in-joomla which shows you how to use the joomla override feature with your template so that you don't break your K2 component or get your changes overwritten when you upgrade your K2.

 

This tutorial hides the empty fields very simply with 2 lines of code.

 

:)

Excellent tutorial!
