hide empty fields (maybe through logic hook...?)

[garciasanchezdaniel]

hello friends, I am thinking in how hide some empty fields after create a new record of my module...

I am in edit view and I have one flex related field, and I need another more... but I have read in sugar guide that this is not possible..., so I will put three (number that I need) related fields in order to fill only one of these three fields in each record
For example, I have in edit view of my module:
related field 1
related field 2
related field 3
and I create one new record, and I fill related field 1, so I'd like hide the other two related fields .... I think that through logic hook (of kind before save) can do it. Something like:

 if(empty(bean->related_field2)){
//action to hide this field
}if(empty(bean->related_field3)){
//action to hide this field
} 
  

how could do this in the best way?
Thanks again

I'd recommend a javascript approach. Output some javascript in editviewdefs.php that hides those fields if empty. Then add an event to each field. When that field value changes and has a value then show the next sequential field.

Hello eggsurplus, thanks for your reply, but I don't understand you...If I hide fields in editviewdefs.php then I can not fill these fields...do you refer to some javascript in detailviewdefs.php,yes?

Sorry, I misunderstood your needs. You only want to hide them on the detail view if empty. Use a custom view.detail.php and pass a variable to the detailviewdefs.php to set the element as hidden if the value is empty.
