Consistency in documentation

One of the aspects gleaned from reading the disparate bits of documentation SC and others provide is the lack of consistency, which only seems to lead to frustration and confusion.

I have had issues trying to optionally display fields using an AJAX event triggered by the change in another field. Eventually I tracked it down to the sc_field_display macro I was trying to use. Reading up on it I find that there are at least FOUR documented syntaxes for it’s use [LIST=1]

  • sc_field_display({company_name}, off);
  • sc_field_display({company_name}, "off");
  • sc_field_display("company_name", "off");
  • sc_field_display(company_name, off); [/LIST] Now, given that none do what I expect and want, and given that I have tried variations of the above without success, which, if any, is correct?

    And really, if I wanted a definitive answer from the SC support team, should I really have to pay to get clarification on SC’s awful proof reading their documentation?

    Way to keep customers, SC… NOT!
