Hide field in detail view conditionally

[maciej.geciow]

Hi
I’ve question about conditionally hiding fields (and labels) on detail view. On Accounts I want to hide ‘vat_c’ and ‘industry’ when ‘is_company_c’ is unchecked.

I have no problem hiding those fields on edit view (on_click method on ‘is_company_c’ field).

Any help?

I don’t have much time to explain, and I will be away for a week starting tomorrow, but I think this might set you going in the right direction…

Is there logic hook for DetailsView?

It’s not a logic hook, but you can customize the detail view, of course. The simplest things you can achieve with just a Smarty formula in the vardefs. For more complicated things… here is an example from a project of mine. It’s meant to show a Contact’s calculated age in place of his birthdate. In file custom/modules/Contacts/views/view.detail.php require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.detail.php'); class CustomContactsViewDetail extends ViewDetail { /** * @see SugarV…

As a variant you can use different view forms for detailview. Where the field is_company_c will use as condition in function getMetaDataFile.

Custom View depending field value

@peted I recommend don’t change function ‘preDisplay’. Make function ‘getMetaDataFile’ in file …/view.detail.php /* add */ public function getMetaDataFile() { if ($this->bean->order_type == "Repair" || $this->bean->order_type == "Other" || $this->bean->order_type == "Stock") { $oldType = $this->type; $this->type = $oldType . 'ros'; } $metadataFile = parent::getMetaDataFile(); if ($this->bean->order_type == "Repair" || $this->bea…

Custom View depending field value

@peted Without problems. Add new form to the function ‘display’ to file …/view.detail.php: public function display(){ if ($this->bean->order_type == "Repair" || $this->bean->order_type == "Other" || $this->bean->order_type == "Stock") { $this->dv->formName='DetailView_ros'; } parent::display(); }

I know I can use 2 detail views (its my temporary solution). Question is can I do it using only one view?

@maciej.geciow

It’s good that you know about 2 views.
I can offer 2 other variants:

1. Write function preDisplay to file view.detail.php of your module and change data in array $metadataFile.
2. write javascript for changing data in frontend on form DetailView.

Perhaps there are more options

I use preDisplay to change text format but don’t know how to hide field (can hide text but not field with description).

You can change fields in panels of view:

    public function preDisplay(){
        parent::preDisplay();
        foreach ($this->dv->defs['panels'] as $panel) {
            // your code
        }
    }
