Custome Field: a notch more!

Custom fields, as they are in LUG, are a very powerful and useful!

However, let's push this feature a notch more:when you add any custom field, if there is no value in it, appears this in the web page :

custom field: No Value

Would it be possible in the next version, to add this option:

if " Custom Value Empty " than " Don't Show Up ", so this way the No Value + the Custom Field would not shows up at all.

I know I could modify the templates to do this, I mean not me Rolling Eyes

but with the help of the LUG support team, but I would prefer to have this option available from the Configuration Menu!

I'm not sure but don't you ask for the feature which is already available in configuration - "Display only those user items which have a value"?

If I would use this option, it will have an impact on ALL custom fields that do not have any values, but sometimes you want to override this wide site option.

Bottom line: to have on a case by case, the choice to shows up custom fields ... even if empty!

Ok! I admit it! I am pecky! Wink

Ok, now I understand. You wanted to be able to set it for each field separately. Thank you for the suggestion.
