I'm trying to conditionally show a field within a shortcode:

[bgc_generate_chart year="[types field='year-of-birth' output='raw'][/types]" month="[types field='month-of-birth' output='raw'][/types]" day="CODE BELOW SHOULD GO HERE" hour="[types field='hour-of-birth' output='raw'][/types]" minutes="[types field='minutes-of-birth' output='raw'][/types]" timezone="Europe/London"]

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-month-of-birth) eq '02' )"][types field='day-of-birth-29' output='raw'][/types][/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-month-of-birth) eq '01' ) OR ( $(wpcf-month-of-birth) eq '03' ) OR ( $(wpcf-month-of-birth) eq '05' ) OR ( $(wpcf-month-of-birth) eq '07' ) OR ( $(wpcf-month-of-birth) eq '08' ) OR ( $(wpcf-month-of-birth) eq '10' ) OR ( $(wpcf-month-of-birth) eq '12' )"][types field='day-of-birth-31' output='raw'][/types][/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-month-of-birth) eq '03' ) OR ( $(wpcf-month-of-birth) eq '06' ) OR ( $(wpcf-month-of-birth) eq '09' ) OR ( $(wpcf-month-of-birth) eq '11' )"][types field='day-of-birth-30' output='raw'][/types][/wpv-conditional]

However, it breaks the process because of the "" - I've tried day='CONDITIONAL CODE GOES HERE'

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Kyle

Hi Kyle,

First, you need to register the third-party shortcode in Toolset:

https://toolset.com/documentation/legacy-features/views-plugin/shortcodes-within-shortcodes/

Then, to avoid mixup of the content when it comes to usage of " and ', try to create a custom shortcode that incorporated all the conditionals inside that shortcode:

https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/adding-custom-code/how-to-create-a-custom-shortcode/

Now you will have a clean shortcode that shows the correct data all the time and you can embed it inside an attribute.

If I miss something or did not understand the issue, I'd appreciate it if you can create a separate page with the shortcodes in question and give login information on the next reply with mode details. Make sure you set the next reply as private.

Thanks.
