Hide nextmatch columns

Nathan_Gray-2 2007-12-11 21:28:42 UTC #1

I’m trying to hide some nextmatch columns from some users. The ref
says to use options-selectcols with name => false.

// Hide some info from clients
$query[‘options-selectcols’][‘price_list_name’] = false;
$query[‘no_columnselection’] = true;

but the column(s) still appear. If I leave no_columnselection off,
the columns are missing from the list, but visible on the rows. I’ve
also tried adding:
$forbidden_cols = array(
‘sales_type_name’,
‘perp_price_list.sales_area_id’,
‘price_list_name’
);
$query[‘default_cols’] = ‘!’ . implode(’,’, $forbidden_cols);
to no effect.

I’ve made sure the data doesn’t get returned, so the columns are
empty, but it would be nice to remove the column entirely. I’m sure
I’m just missing some combination of settings that will work, but I
can’t seem to figure out what it is. Suggestions appreciated.

Extra punctuation??? Ug!!!
Just say no! Punctuation marks do not gain significance if you
increase their number, they make you look silly. One is sufficient.

if you switch the columnselection off, options-selectcols it not used.

but the column(s) still appear. If I leave no_columnselection off,

That’s basicly what it does, it hides the column from the selection, to
NOT allow to turn it off.

I’ve also tried adding:
$forbidden_cols = array(
‘sales_type_name’,
‘perp_price_list.sales_area_id’,
‘price_list_name’
);
$query[‘default_cols’] = ‘!’ . implode(’,’, $forbidden_cols);

To switch a column off, you need to put something in the disabled field
of the column, or use what the column-selection (if not switched off)
put’s there automatically: “@no_$colname”, where $colname is the name of
the column mentioned in the nextmatch header(s) of any type (If there
are multiple headers in one column, eg. in a vbox, their names are
joined together with underscores.

In your get_rows method you then add the following, after assigning the
regular rows:

$rows[“no_$colname”] = true; // or some calculated expression

I appreciate if you add that information to the eT documentation, eg.
the reference manual.

Btw. are you on Skype? You can reach me there as “ralfbecker”.

Thanks Ralf. Got some conflicting results:

$rows[“no_sales_type_name”], everything else default
Column is missing from results (good), shows up in Select Columns
(Not good).
$rows[‘no_sales_type_name’] & $query[‘options-selectcols’]
[‘sales_type_name’] = false
Column shows up on results (not good), missing from Select Columns
(good)
$rows[‘no_sales_type_name’] & $query[‘options-selectcols’]
[‘sales_type_name’] = false & column disabled set via eTemplate to
’@no_sales_type_name’

Column is missing from results (good), missing from Select Columns

I will.

Yes, usually by prior arrangement only though.

What about @no_$rows[‘sales_type_name’] or some variant?

Same results as 2. @no_sales_type_name worked though.

so far I only had the usage case, to hide the column for a certain
project in PM, where you eg. dont have rights to see the budget
information, but I dont remove it from the select-cols, as on other
projects (specially own ones), you might still have it.

$rows[‘no_sales_type_name’] & $query[‘options-selectcols’]
[‘sales_type_name’] = false
Column shows up on results (not good), missing from Select Columns
(good)

$rows[‘no_sales_type_name’] & $query[‘options-selectcols’]
[‘sales_type_name’] = false & column disabled set via eTemplate to
’@no_sales_type_name’

Without explicitly setting ‘@no_sales_type_name’ in the disabled field
of the column, would still show the column, as disabling it via
’options-selectcols’ excluded it from the nextmatch handling, which
otherwise would implicitly put ‘@no_sales_type_name’ there

Column is missing from results (good), missing from Select Columns
(good).
