hiding field based on condition

Hello,

I have a pageBlockTable on visualForce like below.
 
<apex:pageblock id="PB2">
                    <apex:pageblocktable value="{!pList}" var="item">
                        <apex:column headervalue="User with Skill">
                            {!item.User.FirstName}&nbsp;{!item.User.LastName}
                        </apex:column>
                        <apex:column headervalue="Skill Name">
                            {!item.ProfileSkill.Name}
                        </apex:column>                     
                    </apex:pageblocktable>
                </apex:pageblock>

I will have many Users.  I am ordering it as per user name. I want to just display the first name and hid the repeated names.

Is there way to achieve my use case using CSS or javascript.

Thank you

Hi Simrin, Yes if you want to do this on the UI layer, Yes this can be done, Below is the detailed code for the VF page and controller. Hope this helps! I have done this using Jquery.
 
<apex:page sidebar="false" controller="HideRepeatingController">
<apex:includeScript value="{!URLFOR($Resource.JqGrid, 'js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js')}"/>

<script type="text/javascript">   
    var jq = jQuery.noConflict();
    function HideCallstoJs() {
        var seen = {};
        jq("td[id*='Fname']").each(function() {
            var key = jq(this).index() +  jq(this).text();
            if (seen[key]) {
                jq(this).text('');
            }
            else {
                seen[key] = true;
            }
        });
        }
      jq( document ).ready(function(){
            HideCallstoJs();
      }); // end of DOM load
</script>

    <apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!conLst}" var="cl">
            <apex:column value="{!cl.FirstName}" id="Fname"/>
            <apex:column value="{!cl.LastName}"/>
        </apex:pageBlockTable>    
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>
public with sharing class HideRepeatingController {
 public List<Contact> conLst{get;set;}
 
 public HideRepeatingController(){
     conLst = new List<Contact>([select id,name, FirstName, LastName from Contact LIMIT 1000]);
 }

}
You can copy pase this code and give it a try in your Org. I have just hidden the First names i.e. first column. Whenever there is a duplicate values in Row that gets automatically hidden from the Jquery.

Hi Simrin,

This is possible through javascript , but doing it through its controller is way easy .
Please paste your controller code.

Please look into below link as well.

Hi Ashish,

Thanks for reply.

My code like this..
 
transient public List<ProfileSkillUser> pList{get;set;}  

public void initSearchTable() {
  pList = [SELECT User.FirstName, User.LastName, ProfileSkill.Name
                        FROM ProfileSkillUser ORDER BY UserId ];
}
 
<apex:pageblock id="PB2">
      <apex:pageblocktable value="{!pList}" var="item">
           <apex:column headervalue="User with Skill">
                    {!item.User.FirstName}&nbsp;{!item.User.LastName}
            </apex:column>
            <apex:column headervalue="Skill Name">
                   {!item.ProfileSkill.Name}
            </apex:column>                     
      </apex:pageblocktable>
</apex:pageblock>


<apex:commandButton value="Search" reRender="PB2"  action="{!initSearchTable)}"> 
</apex:commandButton>

what you can do is just add some code in  the controller:


public void initSearchTable() {
  pList = [SELECT User.FirstName, User.LastName, ProfileSkill.Name
                         FROM ProfileSkillUser ORDER BY UserId ];
  displayOrNot();
}
public void displayOrNot()
{  
    for(Integer i=1;i<pList.size();i++)
    {
        if(pList[i].User.FirstName==pList[i-1].User.FirstName && pList[i].User.LastName==pList[i-1].User.LastName){
              pList[i].User.FirstName='';
              pList[i].User.LastName=";
        }
     }
}

if you still need to use the pList in the future, I recommand you can create another variable to store the whole value~
Let me know if this helpes~
