I've been seeing several posts on conditional formating, conditional redirecting, conditional visibility of fields...
Is there a possibility to hide menu tabs/links depending on the value inserted in the previous action without the need to edit generated pages?

Hi,
sure you can hide any links on the menu tab.

For example check entered value in the After record added/updated event and save result in the $_SESSION variable:

if ($values["FieldName"]=="some value")

$_SESSION["show_link"] = 1;

else

$_SESSION["show_link"] = 0;


Then edit menu page in HTML mode on the Visual Editor tab. Here is a sample:

{if $show_link}

<A href="TableName_list.php">TableName</A>

{/if}



and add following code to the Menu page: Before display event:

$smarty->assign("show_link",$_SESSION["show_link"]);

$_SESSION["show_link"] = 0;

Hi,
find actual link on the menu page and add smarty variables around this link.

Here is a sample:

{if $show_link}

<A href="TableName_list.php">TableName</A>

{/if}
