[Resolved] Can I use custom shortcodes that take parameters in conditional outputs?

Is something like this (below) possible?

[wpv-conditional if="( '[is_author user_id="[wpv-user field=\"ID\"]"]' eq '1' )"]Yes[/wpv-conditional]

I have a custom shortcode that takes a user_id param, which works fine and returns a 1 or 0, but I'd like to use it inside a conditional block to show/hide checkboxes inside a view/form, and so I need to pass in a field from within a loop.

Hi Mel,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Yes this is possible but in order for you to add your shortcode to work in our views plugin you will need to go to Toolset > Settings > Frontend and then add your shortcode name to your views 3rd party shortcode arguments.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane

I already registered the custom shortcode, but it's still not liking the tags, could it be the single quote / double quote stuff - it looks fairly messy - what's the accepted way to write these tags in this way?

(
Worth noting this is:
Current user ID shortcode inside a:
Registered custom shortcode inside a:
Conditional output shortcode
)

Hi Mel,

Yes i believe its the quotations as well.

Try this format.

[wpv-conditional if="( '[is_author user_id="[wpv-user field='ID']"]' eq '1' )"]Yes[/wpv-conditional]

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

That worked! Thank you!

Is there an "else" block for the conditional output that will avoid having two calls to the shortcut codes?

Hi Mel,

Awesome i'm happy I was able to help you.

Unfortunately we don't have an else statement so multiple Conditionals will be required.

Thanks,
Shane
