Hi
I am not sure if this is possible - I have tried searching but have got myself very confused.
I have a table por_details with 2 fields part and description.
I only want a user to see the description field on the add/edit page if part = "MISC" and if the part field is any other value then not be visible on the add/edit pages.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Gareth

Gareth,
To hide field on the Edit page edit this page in HTML mode on the Visual Editor tab.

Here is a sample:

{if $value_part=="MISC"}

<TR

style="PADDING-RIGHT: 3px; PADDING-LEFT: 3px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 3px; PADDING-TOP: 3px">

<TD width=150>description</TD>

<TD width=250>{build_edit_control field="description" value=$value_description mode="edit"}

</TD></TR>

{/if}


I'm not sure how to hide field on the add page because there are no any values yet.

Hi Jane
Thanks for the reponse
Is there no way of going it 'live' on the add/edit page - to make the field appear and disappear depending on the part field value?
Sound complicated but jsut thought I would ask!
Thanks

Gareth,
you can select field value on the Edit page: Before process and then create new smarty variable:

$var = $smarty->get_template_vars("value_FieldName");

$var = substr($var,0,4);

$smarty_assign("value_FieldName_part".$var);



Then use $value_FieldName_part on your edit page on the Visual Editor tab.
