Hide extra field if value is empty
It would be great if an empty field would be hidden if it's value output is empty. I coded something myself which hides an extra field if the value is empty but it only seems to work with single box fields (text box) as it has only 1 value. Links for example have 3 values and will not hide for a retarded reason. Could JoomlaWorks send me a code snippet that would hide ANY extra field if the value output echoe's as empty. I can't seem to figure it out...
I keep pushing this for the 3rd time. Not because i'm an asshole, but because Joomlaworks doesn't even reply to 90% of the posts in their forums. Now that is just stupid.
I believe that this will make extra fields SO MUCH more usefull, and it gets rid of the group's. I hate them.

Agree. This option to be able to hade empty extra fields would really help out. When you start to use the extrafields you quickly realize they take up alot of space, and when articles (items) don't have the same type of content some extrafields is sometimes left empty.
Getting around 7-10 extrafields and the contenpage is starting to be really enoying and the whole concepts of extrafields is getting none useble, even with the great extrafields groups.

Hi everyone,
here's my solution to hide the fields with empty value :
I've added some code to the div that displays ExtraFields in my own item.php k2 template file.

Bravo... that's all i can say. It fucking worked.
Here are some issues tho, not a problem but just pointing it out.
The field ONLY disappears when the link area contains http:// that's the only case. It even disappears when the description area has text in it. If the link part contains http:// the field will disappear, no matter what. It's cool tho! Thanks a lot!
I think i just jizzed in my pants.

Nolbert,
Thank you so much for providing this code. Well thought out solution and works just like it should. You saved me from having to program my own solution and I can't thank you enough.
This should definitely be added to the K2 core.

Actually, since we can use the extra field as another way of organizing content.
You can use the the excellent k2 plugin here to filer your extra fields content: http://community.getk2.org/forum/topics/k2-extra-fields-filter-and
Is there a way for us to actually hide, extra fields even when they are not empty?

you can get the extra fields like this if it suits your needs
$custom = $this->item->extra_fields;
and then addressing extra fields for the item like
echo $custom[1]->value; depending on the position, 0, 1,2,3,4 etc in the array
experiment with this…
