Conditionally Hide fields from Content Editor

Question

In one of my projects in Sitecore 10.2, I am using one base template in other child templates. My requirement is that I want to hide some base template fields in some child templates. For that, I am referring

https://andrey-vinda.tech.blog/2017/10/30/sitecore-hide-fields-from-content-editor/.

In the above example, we have to inherit Sitecore.Shell.Applications.ContentEditor.Pipelines.GetContentEditorFields.GetFields

But I am not able to access it. Any idea how we can get this namespace in Sitecore 10.2 Version?

Answer 1

You have to use Sitecore.Client dll reference in your project, after that you will be able to access Sitecore.Shell.Applications.ContentEditor.Pipelines.GetContentEditorFields.GetFields Below is the pipeline processor for this

 <processor type="Sitecore.Shell.Applications.ContentEditor.Pipelines.
 GetContentEditorFields.GetFields, Sitecore.Client" >
 </processor>
 </getContentEditorFields>```

Hope this helps.

After extracting the DLL Sitecore.Client, I found that it exists in the same DLL. Please refer the screenshot.

And the namespace is also the same. So you have to use this DLL to access the Sitecore.Shell.Applications.ContentEditor.Pipelines.GetContentEditorFields.GetFields

namespace Sitecore.Shell.Applications.ContentEditor.Pipelines.GetContentEditorFields
{
  /// <summary>Implements the Render Field pipeline.</summary>
  public class GetFields
  {
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets a value indicating whether the <see cref="T:Sitecore.Shell.Applications.ContentEditor.Pipelines.GetContentEditorFields.GetFields" /> shows the data fields only.
    /// </summary>
    /// <value>
    ///   <c>true</c> if the <see cref="T:Sitecore.Shell.Applications.ContentEditor.Pipelines.GetContentEditorFields.GetFields" /> shows the data fields only; otherwise, <c>false</c>.
    /// </value>
    public bool ShowDataFieldsOnly { get; private set; }
