Pdf fields

[aje]

Hi
I have a list with
date
nama
adress
postal code
city.
In the pdf i want every field exept the date field. How can i do this ?

Remove the date from list display.

But i want it to show in the list but not in the pdf

The PDF is related to the displayed list.
You can
copy your list, remove the date element from list view and use this list for PDF
or
create a custom PDF template which is explicitly skipping the date element

I haven't tried, but could potentially do it with some CSS as well?

I think you could add some conditional CSS in custom_css.php which did something like ...

$format = JFactory::getApplication()->input->get('format', '');
if ($format == 'pdf') {
   echo "... css to set display for that column class to 'none' ...";
}

Nice idea but it seems you can't use Jfactory (Fatal error</b>: Class 'JFactory' not found ).

But you can create a custom PDF template (just copy bootstrap), edit custom_css.php and add the CSS there without condition

echo "
#listform_$c th.your-date-element {display:none}
#listform_$c td.your-date-element {display:none}
";

Oh, silly me, I forgot the CSS is called directly, not through the J! framework. So you could just grab it from the request array ...

if ($_REQUEST['format'] == 'pdf') {

I just prefer solutions that can be done with the out-of-box templates, avoiding the overhead and potential issues with keeping entire custom templates in sync with Fabrik.

Yes, but...
I've tested
custom_css.php only gets it's own params from http://localhost/j33/components/com...stom_css.php?c=12_com_fabrik_12&buttoncount=6
no "format"

Hmmm, I think that'd be a useful enough feature to add.

if this works, I'll add that for forms as well.

Yup, working.
