conditionals in print templates

[criszalo1997]

hello devs me again, practicing with totum took me with a limitation owell I didn't find an answer in the documentation when creating a print template I wanted to make "if" conditionals so that depending on the result condition it shows or hides a similar part of the template to what they use to hide unwanted columns, is it possible to do that?? at the template level because doing it in the print button code would be very long, also how can you access the visibility status of the columns??, it would be great to have that function and it would greatly save development time

Our lead thinks that it can be done with CSS in the template. I asked her about some examples, and I will post them here when they are ready.

You can do this with the <style>-part in print template. You can add it with the {...} variable and hide the item in the template with display: none. For example:

{style}

<table id="print_table">
  <thead><tr><td>test1</td><td>test2</td><td>test3</td></tr></thead>
  <tbody>
  <tr><td>test1</td><td>test2</td><td>test3</td></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

<style>
  #print_table td{
  	border: 1px solid black;
  }
	#print_table td:nth-child(2){
  	display: none
  }
</style>
<table id="print_table">
  <thead><tr><td>test1</td><td>test2</td><td>test3</td></tr></thead>
  <tbody>
  <tr><td>test1</td><td>test2</td><td>test3</td></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Hello and thanks for answering me, the implementation you just sent is good, but I don't think it solves the problem as I told you at the beginning. It would be great to get the status of the visibility of the columns of this element that you manage, through some variable in the printing template

and that through the printing template conditions can be made in this way:

<table id="print_table">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      { @if(columName.isVisible == true) }
        <td>test1</td>
      { @endif }
      <td>test2</td>
      <td>test3</td>
    </tr>
   </thead>
  <tbody>
       <tr>
      { @if(columName.isVisible == true) }
        <td>test1</td>
      { @endif }
        <td>test2</td>
        <td>test3</td>
       </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

This capacity would give a lot of flexibility to make quite dynamic and flexible reports, it is my humble opinion, greetings.

Ok. I understand that our standard print gets the field visibility variable, but linkToPrint doesn't get it.

We will add this variable into the button when the button placed by printbuttons. But we won't make {if in html} in the nearest time.
