sebastian, Actually don't need to touch view or view template. The more 'natural' way is to check it under phptemplate_preprocess_node, if the field's content does not exist, add an additional CSS class to the node (says 'no-field-A'). This way you theme the node + the view or other ways that you retrieve a node.
In your CSS, just theme .no-field-A .field-A { display: none; }

Hello listers,
Hope this is the right place to ask this question.
I am building a theme and I have little icons that I want to have appearing when there is a 'File - CCK' field present.
The field is optional in the content-type. I have created a view for the page that shows the content, and when the file-cck field is empty, it still shows all the surrounding <div> and <a href> tags, which triggers my CSS and then I still show the little custom PDF icon; only I want it to be blank.
When I click on the View for the field: file-cck (generic files)
I only see the options:
- Exclude from display
- Rewrite output field
- Output this field as a link
- Trim to max length
- Link this to its node
- Label [none/drop down]
- Format [generic files]
I can't see from this list any way to have it be conditional; ie: only display Field formatting [Div+a href] if there is actually any data present.
Thanks for your help, hopefully this is an easy one. :)
Kind,
