Hiding Column on a List View with Grouping

Question

I have a list that I need to dynamically hide columns on based on user. Sort of a rudimentary Column Level security type deal. This is being done through Javascript and JQuery to simply not display certain columns when certain logic is met.

Here's the code I currently use to hide a column:

var index = $("tr.ms-viewheadertr th:contains('"+ colName +"')").first().index()+1;
$('th:nth-child('+index+'),td:nth-child('+index+')').hide();

This works perfectly for List views without grouping, but several of the views have multiple groupings and I can't figure out how to make it hide in those sub groups. Anyone know of a work around?

Answer 1

I have the same problem that you have and the solution for your problem is here

To it i used the codes below:

<script src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function(){$('td:nth-child(Column Number),th:nth-child(Column Number)').hide();});</script>

And:

<style type="text/css">.ms-vb-title{display:none !important;}</style>
