Conditional fields

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 eight 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 (no support for rtf-signatures!)
--format format	Formats the value according to the format. As an example, --format "%s%s *** %s%s" produces 12 *** 34 for the value 1234.
--lookup lookup-table	Checks if there is a section in the configuration file named lookup-table. If it exists, checks further if the field value (case-insensitive) does exist as a parameter in this section, replaces the field value by the parameter value.

Conditional directives can be defined by using the following syntax:
