Adding static text before a field

Trying to get Cell Phone before the field Cell Phone.

When it has value, it should look like Cell Phone XXX-XXX-XXXX

When no value, just blank.

Code I have now which is wrong.

if (Field("Cell Phone") == "") {
  return "";
  }
else return Field("Cell Phone") + "Cell Phone " ;

Thanks,

Ryan

Ryan,

If there is only one variable on the line you actually do not need a rule to manage this. Instead, open the frame in the variable text editor window, highlight the line 'Cell: xxx-xxx-xxxx', click the Paragraph button and select suppress 'if containing empty variable' option.

This should do the trick!

I think this will do! Thanks! I was thinking it had to be CODE.

I have a line that looks like this:

«Change phone format Rule_Contact» • «Website»

I need to suppress the bullet if the website is empty. I tried what this thread suggests, but it's not working?

It keeps suppressing the whole entire line? I try and select the bullet and website only, but it checks the entire line including the "Change Phone Format"????

Any ideas what I can do to suppress just the bullet and website?

I have Fusion Pro 7.0p1d, Vista format (yuck) & Abode Pro 9.0

I have a line that looks like this:

«Change phone format Rule_Contact» • «Website»

If the line has something other than a single label and field, you can't use the "Suppress if containing empty variables" setting. You have to write a rule. It's very simple logic though:

if (Field("Website"))
   return "• " + NormalizeEntities(Field("Website"));
//else
return "";

Make sure to check "Treat returned strings as tagged text."

Awesome.

Thanks. I'll try this out
