Title: Theater View hide empty value issue
Post by: lepa on August 01, 2016, 08:25:26 am

In theather view "Hide when value is empty" is not working if field type is expression. It will always show field title even when value is empty

Example:
type: Expression
name: rating
value: <font color="#f69838">RatingStars()<//font>

Where is the option "Hide when value is empty"?  I'm searching Options but not seeing it.

Thanks.

Options-->Theaterview->Customize file info panel... (a property there for field in a template)

Well I'm not having much luck.

I add an expression and I just leave it empty and it's sure hidden.

What trick do I need to do to make it start showing?

Thanks.

I think I see it now.  You need to use an expression like:
<font color="#f69838">RatingStars()<//font>

The trick is that the expression is never really empty.  It'll still have the <font> block there even if the rating stars aren't there.  Not really sure how to get around that.

Coming next build:
Fixed: The option to hide empty values in the File Info template of Theater View would show the template if it was in a font block even if there was no text in the font.

It was kind of just a special case for the font block, so if there are other blocks that do the same thing, let us know.

Thanks.

Only just noticed that there were updates on this. I can confirm that this works at least for my views. Thanks, Matt!
