Field Formatter Doesn't Allow for Empty Field Labels

Same here.

same problem

it's not possible to handle (hide) empty fields (drupal basics) -> major

Same here! how can we solve it?
It would be good to fix it - because the other it works...

Hey,

Sorry for the delay, can you try this patch?

I have not had time to put myself in Git.

Replace this function in download_file.module:

function download_file_field_formatter_view($entity_type, $entity, $field, $instance, $langcode, $items, $display) {
  $element = array();

  switch ($display['type']) {
    case 'direct_download':
      $element[0] = array(
        '#theme' => 'download_file_formatter_direct_download',
        '#items' => $items
      );
      break;

    case 'direct_download_icon':
      $element[0] = array(
        '#theme' => 'download_file_formatter_direct_download_icon',
        '#items' => $items
      );
      break;

    case 'direct_download_accessible':
      $element[0] = array(
        '#theme' => 'download_file_formatter_direct_download_accessible',
        '#items' => $items
      );
      break;

    case 'direct_download_accessible_icon':
      $element[0] = array(
        '#theme' => 'download_file_formatter_direct_download_accessible_icon',
        '#items' => $items
      );
      break;
  }

  return $element;
}

with this one:

function download_file_field_formatter_view($entity_type, $entity, $field, $instance, $langcode, $items, $display) {
  $element = array();
  
  if ($items) {
    switch ($display['type']) {
      case 'direct_download':
        $element[0] = array(
          '#theme' => 'download_file_formatter_direct_download',
          '#items' => $items
        );
        break;

      case 'direct_download_icon':
        $element[0] = array(
          '#theme' => 'download_file_formatter_direct_download_icon',
          '#items' => $items
        );
        break;

      case 'direct_download_accessible':
        $element[0] = array(
          '#theme' => 'download_file_formatter_direct_download_accessible',
          '#items' => $items
        );
        break;

      case 'direct_download_accessible_icon':
        $element[0] = array(
          '#theme' => 'download_file_formatter_direct_download_accessible_icon',
          '#items' => $items
        );
        break;
    }
  }

  return $element;
}

Thank you

Matthieu

I've tested the code and it works for me!
thank you very much, Matthieu!

I am still sorry for the delay.

I'll try to put myself in Git to generate a patch.

Why has this been marked 'fixed' if there have been no commits in over a year? Clearly the solution that's been posted here is yet to be commited.

@xMATTx
Can you make a patch from #5. Then we can set the contribution as RTBC.
Thanks!

Here are the changes in #5 as a patch. The code itself does work for me.

Works great, thank you!

code committed & changing the status to fixed.
