Question about jacket generation

Terisa de morgan · 08-01-2014, 04:36 AM

Hi,

I have a question that, perhaps, it has already been made but I can found the answer. I would like to have a "conditional" jacket, meaning it, if a field is not set in the metadata, neither the field nor a specific text are printed.

Can I have this in an automatic way (jacket generated with Modify plugin) or do I have to edit it every time?

Thanks in advance

You can do it, using a trick. Create a custom column with a template that evaluates to "none" if your condition is false and "block" if it is true. Then in the jacket use this

<div style="display:{_custcol}">
the condition content
</div>

Thank you very much, I'll do that.
