Hi there.
I have this annoying problem with a site I am working on.
The code below is the part of my view where it displays the Absentee bid form link. The absentee bid form is a field belonging to Sale which is the parent of Auction lot. The auction lots are displayed din the view.
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-end-date-datetime) gt 'TODAY' )" evaluate="false"]
<br><b>Absentee Bid Form: </b><a href"[types field="absentee-bid-form" id="$sale" title="Download"] [/types]"></a>[/wpv-conditional]
The conditional output works fine except for the stray "> at the end of the link.
Now obviously if I remove the "> from after [/types] it breaks the code.
I also notice that it is appearing on previous sales where wpcf-end-date-datetime is in the past.
Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
Regards.
Josh
Update:
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-end-date-datetime) gt 'TODAY()' )" evaluate="false" debug="true"]
<br><b>Absentee Bid Form: </b><a href="[types field="absentee-bid-form" id="$sale" title="Download"] [/types]"></a>[/wpv-conditional]
Looking deeper into the problem there are two things I am trying to accomplish:
1)
Display "absentee-bid-form" if "wpcf-end-date-datetime" is in the future.
"absentee-bid-form" is a field on the parent post "sale"
"wpcf-end-date-datetime" is a field on the parent post "sale"
Am I missing something to specify that "wpcf-end-date-datetime" belongs to the parent "sale"?
2)
If I break it down, the url works fine with:
<br><b>Absentee Bid Form: </b><a href="[types field="absentee-bid-form" id="$sale" title="Download"] [/types]"></a>
However displays with like this:
Absentee Bid Form: Download">
if I remove the "> from the code, it breaks.
In the simplest terms possible "display the absentee bidder form hyperlink only if the end date of the sale is greater than today.
Dear josh,
I assume the custom field "end-date-datetime" is a date field created with Types plugin
and the custom field "absentee-bid-form" is a URL field created with Types plugin
1) Display "absentee-bid-form" if "wpcf-end-date-datetime" is in the future.
That means the value of field "end-date-datetime" is larger than Today(), so your codes should be like this:
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-end-date-datetime) gt 'TODAY()' )" ]
...
[/wpv-conditional]
Without the attribute evaluate="false"
2) To display the URL link in the HTML a tag, you will need to use raw output in the Types shortcode, for example:
<br><b>Absentee Bid Form: </b><a href='[types field="absentee-bid-form" output="raw"][/types]'>Absentee Bid Form</a>
See below test site:
hidden link
user/pass: xgren/111111
Use below codes:
hidden link
end-date-datetime: [types field="end-date-datetime" style="text" format="Y-m-d"][/types]
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-end-date-datetime) gt 'TODAY()' )"]
<br><b>Absentee Bid Form: </b><a href='[types field="absentee-bid-form" output="raw"][/types]'>Absentee Bid Form</a>
[/wpv-conditional]
Hope it help
HI Luo
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately the code above doesnt help.
I inserted the code above and got the following output:
hidden link
I removed the first line because all I am trying to use the field "end-date-datetime" to display the field "absentee-bid-form" if the date is in the future.
This is what the admin dashboard of the sale looks like:
hidden link
I know there is no problem with the field because I am able to display the hyperlink to the absentee bid form on another page that only shows the CPT "sale":
hidden link
The condition i used on the above screenshot is:
[wpv-conditional if="( NOT(empty($(absentee-bid-form))) )"]
<br>[types field="absentee-bid-form" title="Absentee bid form download"][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]
Which leads me to believe that the problem lies in displaying a field belonging to the parent.
Is there somewhere in this code that we should be specifying that the fields "absentee-bid-form" and "wpcf-end-date-datetime" belongs to the parent $sale?
I guess I could move the fields from sale to auction lot CPT but I think that would be redundant as we have 10 000+ lots on the site already with about 30 000 more to come which will have a big impact on the database which is why i would prefer to use the parent fields.
regards,
Josh
You can use the parent field in the wpv-conditional shortcode, for example:
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-field name="wpcf-end-date-datetime" id="$sale"]' gt 'TODAY()' )"]
Here display the Absentee Bid Form
[/wpv-conditional]
see the demo site:

And front-end:

Thank you so much Luo!
Makes perfect sense to use wpv-post-field name
That works perfectly.
