Fields layout within CB Tab

Thanks Kyle!
Is there "if else" option? like [cb:ifelse]?

There's an "or" usage. See the bottom of the substitution tutorial below.

www.joomlapolis.com/support/tutorials/107-use-cases/18353-using-substitutions-throughout-cb

Example usages of cb:if are provided there including "or" usage.

hmmm... or is inclusive - I'm thinking of this type of logic:

[cb:if cb_progress_account!="100"]complete your account! [ "OTHERWISE" "or else": ]"your account is not completed"[/cb:if]

There's no elseif usage. You'd need to do the below.

[cb:if cb_progress_account="100"]COMPLETE[/cb:if]
[cb:if cb_progress_account!="100"]INCOMPLETE[/cb:if]

Thanks Kyle - I have few more questions:

1. what's the format to call for empty field? => cb:if cb_phone="" ? (meaning there is no value entered?)

2. How do I display editable field (i.e. checkbox) IN view=userprofile? additionally or instead of showing editable field in edit view - i.e. I want to build progress steps, and user should be able to check the checkbox upon completion of a task - except I don't want to direct user to the edit view but do that right in the tab (I'm using custom HTML as wrapper for the fields btw.)

3. Following this thought: I created a 'shell' tab with the fields - is there "no position" position for tabs? so that I don't have to display the tab - but instead call it into the custom html output field? I tried to unpublish the tab (no go) and to use [cb:usertab tab="22" user="#displayedOrMe" /] ... no go either

4. BTW - on the Using Substitutions throughout CB - I don't understand couple things - and I can't find answer that will clarify:
a) what exactly these both mean: #displayed and #displayedOrMe
b) what is this: reason - fields and tabs only ('profile', 'register', 'list', 'edit', 'search') => I tried to use reason="edit" thinking that the editable field will show up in view...
c) what the heck are these: not_on_profile_1-9?

thanks!

Yes, matching against "" is to match against empty string.

2. How do I display editable field (i.e. checkbox) IN view=userprofile? additionally or instead of showing editable field in edit view - i.e. I want to build progress steps, and user should be able to check the checkbox upon completion of a task - except I don't want to direct user to the edit view but do that right in the tab (I'm using custom HTML as wrapper for the fields btw.)

CB Core Fields Ajax will allow you to have ajax editable fields. Thee can be edited from profile view or userlist for example.

3. Following this thought: I created a 'shell' tab with the fields - is there "no position" position for tabs? so that I don't have to display the tab - but instead call it into the custom html output field?

Set your tab to one of the not displayed on profile positions.

a) what exactly these both mean: #displayed and #displayedOrMe

user="#displayed" means substitute information from the displayed user. This only works on profile view as we only set the displayed value there. #displayedOrMe means substitute from the displayed user otherwise substitute from me (the viewing user).

b) what is this: reason - fields and tabs only ('profile', 'register', 'list', 'edit', 'search') => I tried to use reason="edit" thinking that the editable field will show up in view...

It's the reason for the output. If the reason is "profile" (default) it means the profile display of the field. If the reason is "edit" it's the profile edit display of the field.

c) what the heck are these: not_on_profile_1-9?

They're tab positions to hide tabs from being output on profile. These can be used to have API or substitution accessible only tabs/fields.
