Attachement icon/symbol...hide/unhide?

Is it possible to hide the attachement symbol of for example an attached pdf file in a body field? so only the filename is visible?

And also the other way round.

Is it possible to hide the attached file filename so only the symbol/icon is visible?

Any code…formula etc.

Appreciated

Thank you

  1. First hide the attached file name. Search for $V2AttachmenOptions on this forum. Than create a computed for display field with the value @AttachmentNames

  2. Have the icon, but no file name. If you know it will be a pdf no problem. If you have different file types, a little bit of a problem. Do the same as #1 to hide the attached file. Then scrape the pdf icon from someplace or use the document icon from the view selections vwicn041.gif. Play around with this formula on your form. I use something like it in views. It should get you on the right track. Of course replace the braces with brackets.

ATT := @AttachmentNames;

DBName := @Subset(@DbName;-1);

LD := @Left(DBName;“.nsf”);

DBPath := @ReplaceSubstring(LD; “\”; “/”) + “.nsf”;

“{<a href = "/” + DBPath + “/0/” + DocID + “$File/"><img src = "/” + DBPath + “/vwicn041.gif" border="0" width=15 alt="Link to CAR">}”

Replace the vwicn041.gif with the pdf icon if that is what you want to use. This is not the exact answer, but I think it will get you on the right track. I have to leave some fun for you.

Hi damian

Thank you - great answer

I forgot to tell you that it is in the notes client and NOT the web.

I got the first one working with @attachementnames formula.

Do you have any ideas for the second one…hiding the text from an attached file and just displaying the icon?

Thanks
