This is just to decide whether the field value will be displayed, right?
First of all, you need have the autogenerate feature turned off. You'll need to create your own html_record subroutine.
The html_record subroutine will look something like this:
Code:
sub html_record {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# How a record will be displayed. This is used primarily in
# returning search results and how it is formatted. The record to
# be displayed will be in the %rec hash.
my (%rec) = @_; # Load any defaults to put in the VALUE field.
($db_auto_generate and print &build_html_record(%rec) and return);
my $font_color = 'Font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" Size=2 Color=#003399';
my $font = 'Font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" Size=2';
print qq|
<TABLE WIDTH="475" CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=1 BGCOLOR="#FFFFCC">
<TR><TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="20%"><$font_color>ID:</FONT></TD>
<TD WIDTH="80%"> <$font>$rec{'ID'}</Font></TD></TR>
<TR><TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP"><$font_color>Name:</FONT></TD>
<TD> <$font>$rec{'Name'}</Font></TD></TR>
<TR><TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP"><$font_color>URL: </FONT></TD>
<TD> <$font><A HREF="$rec{'URL'}">$rec{'URL'}</A></Font></TD></TR>
</table>|;
}
Let's say you have a checkbox field called "Checkbox" and that it is where the user decides whether he wants his name printed out. I'll call that field, for want of anything better, "Name."
Alter sub html_record so it looks like this (the changes I've made are in bold print)
Code:
sub html_record {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# How a record will be displayed. This is used primarily in
# returning search results and how it is formatted. The record to
# be displayed will be in the %rec hash.
my (%rec) = @_; # Load any defaults to put in the VALUE field.
($db_auto_generate and print &build_html_record(%rec) and return);
my $font_color = 'Font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" Size=2 Color=#003399';
my $font = 'Font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" Size=2';
print qq|
<TABLE WIDTH="475" CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=1 BGCOLOR="#FFFFCC">
<TR><TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="20%"><$font_color>ID:</FONT></TD>
<TD WIDTH="80%"> <$font>$rec{'ID'}</Font></TD></TR>
|;
if ($rec{'Checkbox'}) {
print qq| <TR><TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP"><$font_color>Name:</FONT></TD>
<TD> <$font>$rec{'Name'}</Font></TD></TR>
|;
}
print qq| <TR><TD ALIGN="Right" VALIGN="TOP"><$font_color>URL: </FONT></TD>
<TD> <$font><A HREF="$rec{'URL'}">$rec{'URL'}</A></Font></TD></TR>
</table>|;
}
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
