Custom fields display depending on chosen category

Would be nice, if there would be option to, Turn off or turn off some custom fields to articles, or categories.
If I save article under category, Trees, then there are only custom fields, which ar turned on for Trees category.

Re: Custom fields display depending on chosen category

It should be doable already with bot_wtc or some other admin side plugin (by jm?) which allows you to insert jQuery code into the Write panel, something like:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	$(document).ready(function() {
		$("#advanced").show();
		$("select#category-1.list").change(function(){
			$("#custom-1").show();
			var value = $("select#category-1.list").val();
			if (value=="your_cat_1_value"){
				$("#custom-1").hide();
			}

		}).change();
	});
</script>

This code is absolutely untested, just copied from a local install (where I hide metas based on the section) and tried to adapt for a custom_field + category-1 relation. If it doesn’t work offhand, hide a custom_field in one/several section(s) with bot_wtc and adapt the jQuery code for your categories accordingly.
