Based on the information you provided (not enough): One possible solution is to have a separate Element to create the link, when the database contains the specific record. The element will use requestAction to query the database for the specific record, and display/not display the link depending on the reply.
Turn on cache for the element, so that the requestAction is only used once in each session. Enjoy, John On Nov 2, 5:40 pm, dtirer <dti...@gmail.com> wrote: > So here's my scenario.
