[SOLVED] Show Empty Fields setting problem

Hi,

Joomla! 3.6.5
CB 2.1.0

After updating CB to 2.1.0 the empty fields are shown in the profile although the Show Empty Fields setting in the CB > Configuration is set to NO.

Please advice?

Works perfectly fine here. We didn't even touch that code with CB 2.1 or any recent build. Are you using CB Core Fields Ajax on those fields? Are they being conditioned by CB Conditional? Hidden by CB Privacy? Try disabling non-core plugins 1 by 1 to see if issue goes away or check multiple profiles to see if it's affecting just a few users.

Actually now I think it's better with fields shown.

Thanks.

I think I've found out where the problem is.

If we enter anything in Field > Parameter > Layout > Profile Value Layout, then CB always thinks that there is something in the field, even if condition it, like ie:

[cb:if user="#me" user_id<="0"]Anything[/cb:if]
[cb:if user="#me" user_id>"0"][value][/cb:if]

or

[cb:if user="#me" user_id<="0"]Anything[cb:else][value][/cb:else][/cb:if]

What we are trying to do is: If the user is guest show "Anything", but if the user registered > show the value, in the same time if the user is registered and the value is empty > don't show the field.

Currently if we enter anything in the Profile Value Layout, CB is not respecting the don't show the empty fields rule.

Please advice?

If the value is null or empty string it'll be treated as empty in regards to that parameter. It must have some sort of value being output. It does a trim as well so leading or trailing spaces shouldn't affect it. So it'd have to be a linebreak or a non-breaking space maybe. What type of field is it? Have you checked _comprofiler to see what value is actually stored and trying to output?

Yes, sorry, you are right. I was using the Snippets extension which was entering some HTML comments.

Thank you.
