Show/hide button in list view

[mirceat]

Hello,

I have a List with a php plugin enabled that will display a button for sending emails (run some code then send e-mail). The button is set to be visibile for a specific Joomla viewlevel but I need more, I need to show this button only if there is a specific value selected and saved for a dropdown field in form.

In short, how can I do the same as form_xx for list_xx to show/hide a button (not a column) based on another element value when the List load the rows? Or at least tell me how to get the value of an element in list_xx, I couldn't find any information in wiki or forum..

Thank you

Easiest way may be to hide the button with custom CSS.
If it's only one value (or only some values) of your dropdown field which should show the button I would

• set this element to "Use as row class" http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/elements/#list-settings
• check in your browser console the exact class names
  
• add CSS hide the button in general
• add CSS to show the button if the row class has the appropriate value

If it's relevant for security that the button doesn't do anything you must check also inside your php code because CSS (similar to JS) can always be manipulated by the user.

Or create a custom list template and modify default_headings.php and default_row.php for skipping the php button.
