I tried to find an example of this, but havn't been successful. We have some columns display only on the DetailView. entry:isfile works great for handling the column on the itemview template, but I havn't been able to remove the column header in the PageTemplate. From the documentation, [query:viewtype] appears to be the command to use, but I can't figure out how to query the claue of viewtype so I can change CSS is it's DetailsView. Thanks.

Hi Noah, Sorry, but the viewtype is confusing here. It is actually a parameter that was introduced to distinguish between looking at folders or categories. I don't think it's used in the viewtemplates. What you should keep in mind is that 'entry' in the page template is the entry that is currently being viewed (i.e. the one referenced in the querystring). This can be a folder (collection), file or hyperlink. The 'entry' in the itemtemplate is the entry being enumerated underneath the entry of the page template. Naturally this is only used for folders. I hope this helps. Peter

Do you have any other suggestions for how I can hide the column header on the non-file lists? Here are links to the three views. I need to hide the 'Last Modified' column on the first two views. http://www.spectracomcorp...id/1192/Default.aspx http://www.spectracomcorp...ault.aspx?EntryId=22 http://www.spectracomcorp...ault.aspx?EntryId=24

Hi Noah, This would be very hard. In fact what you're after is detecting that a folder only has child folders and no child documents. In the former you'd like to suppress the column that is only meaningful for files. That would require quite a bit of new logic to be made. Like Windows Explorer, you get the columns regardless of the list underneath. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
