custom fields not showing in details page

[hdraye]

Hi
for some reason custom fields are not showing in details page, also main fields are showing even though empty, how can I show only filled fields (both main and custom)?

Thanx in advance

For custom field, you need to put the field name in detail_link.html file

<%$field_name%>

To show only filled fields, for example description

<%if $description%>
<%$description%><%/if%>

[hdraye]

Thanx
First part worked great
second part, no, Empty fields still show

By the way, can I have a field with a default value? the link field in particular, lots of added info dont have a website, so I want mine to be the default, so they dont have to enter it if they dont have a site.

Perhaps i'm not understand with your question, but try this:

<%if $description%>
<%$description%>
<%else%>
It's default description
<%/if%>

Still, I want the whole field (even field name) not to show if ts empty,
exsample, I have the name, the link and the phone number filled but not the fax nor the email
Detail page should show only name, link and phone number.

I hope it's more clear. Below will show all (but not as you desire)

Name: <%$name%>

Link: <%$link%>

Phone: <%$phone%>

Fax: <%$phone%>

Below to hide not filled field

<%if $name%>Name: <%$name%><%/if%>

<%if $link%>Link: <%$link%><%/if%>

<%if $phone%>Phone: <%$phone%><%/if%>

<%if $phone%>Fax: <%$phone%><%/if%>

I hope you can understand the logical thing how the template work here.

in your code its so plain, in detail_link.html it comes with a tr/td, so I guess your code will hide the field name but will keep the row, while I want to not show the row

[dody]

I remove unnecessary html codes like <p> or <tables>, i just want to ilustrate how it work. Of course in real, you need to put html codes too.

[hdraye]

do you meansomething ike this?

<%if $contact_name%>
    <tr class=tbl_normal>
    <td>contact_name</td>
    <td><%$contact_name%></td>
  </tr><%/if%>

[dody]

Yes.

<%if $contact_name%>
    <tr class=tbl_normal>
    <td>Contact Name</td>
    <td><%$contact_name%></td>
  </tr><%/if%>

[hdraye]

great
Thanx

now, input field when submetting a link, can we have the link optional, if not have a default value?

Thanx again

You need to hack add.php for required fields and default value. For custom fields, you can manage it in admin panel > database > alter. There you'll find default value, required, and searchable option.

If you have dmoz extractor license, you can request us to parse the arabic

Yes I have a DMOZ Ext. license, and infact I have a ticket in this regard
