Hide empty collections

BWPanda I was wondering if you might be able to help me in my situation. I created a new case but have not had any feedback. Here it is for your reference: http://drupal.org/node/1708258

When I choose the "Table of field collection items" for the field I have the issue above in that the thead with labels is suddenly printed inside the tbody thus printing the labels when the table should actually not print. I applied your patch in the hope that this may have fixed the issue - but no luck.

Any ideas or solutions would be very helpful.

There was a typo in the patch ([elements] -> [element])

Rerolled.

Works ok for me, thanks @BWPanda

OK makes all the difference.
I now see the option inside views and once applied it works like a charm.
Thanks for the re-roll.

Works beautifully! +1 for adding to core module.

Patch failed and called out trailing whitespace.

Patch in #3 worked for me on 7.x-1.0-beta1.

I've added the hide collection setting to the summary info.

Thanks, that works perfectly for me, look forward to seeing this in the release.

Patches dont work for me.. I see empty collections titles.

Trying apply to stable release..

patch works
please commit!

Thanks @BWPanda any chance we can get this committed?

I committed this patch and works again just like before! RTBC

Just to re-confirm: patch works perfectly and it would be good to have this pushed on next version, as having the label on the page when there are no items is quite annoying :( .

Thanks!

Actually to be correct a hook_field_formatter_view should always return the $element array(), in this case as empty.

The patch just swaps:

return;

with

return $elements;

Patch re-rolled and tested: works well!
