Views- how can I hide one specific value of a series of checkboxes displayed in views?

Question

On my user profile, I am displaying a field that looks like this:

Choose your favorite fruits:

• Apples
• Strawberries
• Bananas
• Grapes
• Click to enter your own

Using the Conditional Fields module, clicking "Click to enter your own" displays a text field where the user can input whatever they like. This all works great.

However, if a user chooses "Apples", "Strawberries", and "Click to enter your own", when I display the user profile in views by adding the "favorite fruits" field, it looks like this:

Fruits I like: Apples, Strawberries, Click to enter your own

Needless to say this is very ugly and I want to hide "Click to enter your own"-- and that's all I want to do, hide that text. Is there an easy way to do that?

EDIT: I'm attempting to find the values for my site for ($view->field['my-field-name']['my-field-value']. Using print_r, it appears that the value I want to remove is: [field_purpose]['und'][0]['o']; "o" is the value of the checkbox for other in the field_purpose field. However, when I use this code: ($view->field['field_purpose']['und'][0]['o'], I get this error: Fatal error: Cannot use object of type views_handler_field_field as array mymodule on line 325

Perhaps I have the value wrong? When I use dpm instead of print_r (dpm($view->field['field_purpose']); I don't see the values of the checkboxes stored anywhere...

The dpm output is as follows:

Answer 1

You can remove it with jQuery. Find that element by the value and just do .remove().

Even though this is not the perfect solution, it needs least amount of time and you can use it in the short term.

[EDIT]

Check Views selective filters. They can limit the options only to the ones available in the results; all others will be hidden.

Answer 2

To delete an element from an array you could simply execute something like this (copying from the previous answer):

unset($view->field['value'];

If you are not able to debug the module, use print_r. To the previous answer should be useful also to check the display:

function mymodulename_views_pre_render(&$view) {
  if ($view->name == 'my-view-id-name' && $view->display == 'my-display') {
     unset($view->field['my-field-name']['my-field-value']);
  }
}

Check obviously every name and variable used in the function :)

Sorry, I think that there is no easy way. My solution would be to do it programatically. Create your own module and add a hook function for the prerender view function. This is how I would do it in drupal 7.

Something like this:

function mymodulename_views_pre_render(&$view) {
  if ($view->name == 'my-view-id-name'){
     unset($view->field['my-field-name']['my-field-value']); //not sure about the correct construct of this fields array, 
       //but print_r it and you'll find out, maybe an if and setting it to '' would be better, but pop should work too
  }
}

Answer 4

The best approach is to use Select (or other) field in user profile instead of two fields (select and textfield to enter custom value)

In this case all values that are entered by user will be available in view filter and "Click to enter your own" option will not be shown in exposed filters.

Answer 5

In view edit your filter criteria settings for field "Fruits I like".

In popup window you will see list of all available options for this field- check all options except "Click to enter your own" and under this list check "Limit list to selected items".

Thats all.

Ultimately, I solved this as described here: https://drupal.stackexchange.com/a/38624/5147

It turns out that using a views template file is a much easier, more maintainable, less complicated solution.
