Pawtucket title [BLANK]

hdace

Would someone be so kind as to let me know the code to get rid of [BLANK] titles? Some of our records have titles and some don't. When they don't, it would be nice if the space on the page wasn't even there.

in ca_objects_default_html.php I have the code setup like this (not sure where it starts and stops but the relevant title is the perferred, not the nonpreferred which is always present):
`?>

		</div><!-- end col -->
		
		<div class='col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-5'>
			{{{<ifdef code="ca_objects.preferred_labels.name">
				<H1>^ca_objects.preferred_labels.name</H1>
			</ifdef>}}}	

			{{{<ifdef code="ca_objects.nonpreferred_labels">
				<H2>^ca_objects.nonpreferred_labels</H2>
			</ifdef>}}}	

			<HR>

`
This works well for us except for the [BLANK]. I have tried using ifdef / else / endif arguments but I am not trained in html php coding so I'm doing it wrong. Any advice? Thanks!

Hi, did you read the following post?

darrigan yes I read that but I'm not proficient at html php coding so I couldn't figure it out. slightly different case, too. I also realized that there has to be text there in order to be a link in Pawtucket. So I've decided the best course is to replace blank entries in the original Excel data file with "untitled", which looks better

Hi,
Here's how to handle [BLANK] in case anyone else has the same issue 🇦

<if rule='^ca_objects.preferred_labels.name =~ /[BLANK]/'><h1>untitled</h1></if>
<if rule='^ca_objects.preferred_labels.name !~ /[BLANK]/'><h1>^ca_objects.preferred_labels.name</h1></if>

darrigan I messed around with the code and eventually found removing the brackets around BLANK did the trick! I have no idea why but it's working now so thanks very much!!

When I saw your code I could see how it worked so I tried it. Unfortunately, the second line doesn't seem to work. Every record outputs "untitled" including the ones that do have titles. I'm baffled because I thought it would work.
