Hi,

I have a couple of questions about using a custom field and conditional formatting but in PHP code as opposed to using the visual editor to do it.

I have a field with the field slug "is-the-offer-a-gambling-offer", it is a select field with the contents of the field set to 1 or 2.

The code I am trying to use is relatively simple but its not working:

if ($wpcf-is-the-offer-a-gambling-offer = 2)
  echo "Some text";

Do I need to do something else to be able to call the field? Am I missing something.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - you should use the Types fields API PHP function types_render_field() to get the value of your custom field.

For example:

$value = types_render_field("is-the-offer-a-gambling-offer", array("output"=>"raw"));

if ($value == 2){
   // add something here
}
