I am trying to: Hide a link if a custom date field value is after today.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: enlace oculto

I expected to see: a link for the first blocks at the bottom with the title "Drogen".

Instead, I got: nothing. The condition is always false.

The values are rendered correctly as can be seen on enlace oculto.
But the comparing does not what I expect it to do.

I use the following view template:

[cf_date_today]<br>
[types field='start-datum' output='raw']

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='start-datum' output='raw']' lt '[cf_date_today]')"]

and the following php code

function cf_date_today_func($atts) {
    $timestamp = strtotime('now');
    return $timestamp;
}
add_shortcode('cf_date_today', 'cf_date_today_func');

Hi Christian

If you use non-Toolset shortcodes in your conditions you must register them at Toolset > Settings > Front-end Content in the relevant section.

You shouldn't need to use a custom shortcode, though, you can use NOW() and other date-related values (https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/date-filters/) as described here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/checking-types-fields-and-custom-fields/#using-fields-together-with-date-filters
