Conditional fields are a convenient way to handle empty values. It is often desireable to drop leading or trailing texts in signatures if a field is not defined or empty in Active Directory. Adolsign supports five directives in field definitions:
--prefix text Adds text in front of the field if it is not empty --postfix text Adds text at the end of the field if it is not empty --ignoreline Drops the whole line if the field is empty. NB! option ignoreline has limited support for html signatures (removes br / tag only) and rtf signatures (remove \par tag only). --default text Use text as default if the field is empty --case directive ... Use directive for case manipulation. Allowed directives are lowercase, uppercase, lowerfirst, upperfirst. Multiple directives are allowed and they will be processed in the specified order. --anchor type Generate HTML code for dynamic links. As an example --anchor http creates an http link. --format format Formats the value according to the format. As an example, --format "%s%s *** %s%s" produces 12 *** 34 for the value 1234.
Conditional directives can be defined by using the following syntax:
scancode( one or more conditional directives )scancode
Examples:
Produces Tel: +11111111 if the telephone number is +11111111. Produces nothing if it is empty.
Produces Department: Sales if the department is Sales. Produces nothing and removes the whole line if it is empty.
Converts the homepage to lowercase. Produces www.default.com if the homepage is not defined.
