JavaScript Solution: Show/Hide a custom link on results page based on a Yes/No field

Feature Description:

This JavaScript solution shows how to display or hide a custom link in HTML block on a results page of a Search and Report DataPage based on the value of a Yes/No field. A typical example is, to only display the custom "details" link if the field value "Yes".

Implementation:

This solution can be used "as-is", without any changes if

a. It is used on a results page of a Search and Report DataPage.

b. There is a Yes/No field named Approved in the table.

To use this solution copy and paste the code below, inside the HTML block of the results page using the Caspio Bridge DataPage Wizard.

<span id="cbLinkCtnr[@cbRecordIndex#]"></span>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		/* 1 - get the Yes/No field */
		var cb_boolean = '[@field:Approved]';
		if (cb_boolean == 'Yes') {
			/* 2 - construct the custom link */
			document.getElementById("cbLinkCtnr[@cbRecordIndex#]").innerHTML = '[url="http://www.google.com/"]Enter Google[/url]';
		}
	</script>

Tips for Customization

a. To use this script with a different field name, modify the line immediately below comment 1 by replacing "Approved" with the appropriate field name.

b. Customize the custom link in various ways. For example, to pass Unique ID field as a parameter in the URL, change the line of code immediately below comment 2 to:

document.getElementById("cbLinkCtnr[@cbRecordIndex#]").innerHTML = '[url="http://URL&UniqueID=[@field:UniqueID]"]Custom Link[/url]';

Where URL is the real URL of the web page the custom link directs to.
