Create a plugin to do same as 'hidden' field Can't Post
Hello,

I want to have a field operate in a similar manner to the 'hidden' field (but the other way around, i.e. checked = displayed, unchecked = hidden).

Lets call it 'display'.

I can manually add this (display = 1) into the $where for the viewer but thought the cleanest way would be via plugin... (which works like this: if 'display' exists in table, then the 'where display = 1' is added to the rest of the 'where'.

I'm not sure where to start to integrate it as a plugin...

Cheers
Rob

Hey Rob,

Plugins get into some really advanced stuff. It will be a lot easer and cleaner to add the 'where' => "display='1'" to your viewers.

If you are really interested in setting up a plugin though, you can check out the free plugins on the user submited page for examples and ideas.

Hope that helps,

Hi Rob,

Any way you could use (or modify) one of the the Show/Hide plugins on the user submitted plugins page?

Hey gkornbluth,

Yeah I was going to take a look at existing plugins and amend... but ran out of time and had to just go for the plain and simple route...

Next time thou :)
