Sebastian ,

You may get better response in support forum.
phptemplate_preprocess_node() should go inside your template.php

Google and Drupal handbook is your friends =)
http://drupal.org/node/223430
http://drupal.org/node/337022

/* this goes into template.php */
function phptemplate_preprocess_node(&$vars, $hook) {
  $node_classes = array();

 // may need to check content of $vars['node']->field_MYFIELD?
  if ($vars['node']->type == "YOUR_CONTENT_TYPE" && $vars['node']->field_MYFIELD) {
    $node_classes[] = 'node-no-MYFEILD';
  }
  $node_classes = array_filter($node_classes);
  $vars['node_classes'] = implode(' ', $node_classes);
}


/* this goes in your node.tpl.php */
<div ... class="node <?php print $node_classes; ?> ...">

Sigh, I'm a fairly smart person, at least, I thought I was... but the more I try and figure out things in Drupal, the more lost I become. My site is 90%+ done, but these last ordeals are really painful to unravel...

Where is the phptemplate_preprocess_node?

I've been looking everywhere to find this, is it a field in the admin tool?

or: A *.tpl.php file I am supposed to make from scratch?
ie: http://drupal.org/node/223430

If its the later, I have no idea what is going on with all these 10 preprocessors... are there examples of these files?

Thanks,

Sebastian.

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,
