Cheking for details view

[rajeshproreal]

Hi

I have a list where the data is entered only by the admin. In some rows, some elements have no value.

I want all the elements to be visible in the 'edit' view so that I can fill in the required elements.

In the 'details' view (for the public), I want to hide the elements that have no value.

I added the following condition to default_group.php:

<?php if ($element->value) { ?>
.......
.......
<?php }?>


This does hide the empty elements in details view, but it also hides them in edit view.

Is there a way to make them hide only in details view?

Alternately, how can I add a condition to show the empty elements only to 'special' users.

Thanks

Rajesh

Yes you could code this and I'm pretty sure there's info about this in the Wiki as I remember a fairly recent post about it.

However you could also just create two forms, one for edit and one for form view.

Generally this works:

if (JRequest::getVar('view') == 'details') {
 // you are in a details view.....
}
