Conditional display field

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
A non-Types custom field is used in a conditional shortcode, but test fails when the value of the field includes a apostrophe in the string.

Solution:
Inserting the conditional shortcode using the GUI will add the field condition in the required format which works, namely:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(notre_avis) ne '' )"]

Hello
When I use :

<h4>NOTRE AVIS</h4>
[wpv-post-field name='notre_avis']

The field is displayed in the front but when I use :

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-field name=notre_avis]' ne '' )"]
[vc_column_text]
<h4>NOTRE AVIS</h4>
[/vc_column_text]
[vc_empty_space height="15px"][vc_column_text][wpv-post-field name='notre_avis'][/vc_column_text]
[/wpv-conditional]

The field is not displayed !!

Thank you for your help

In the line with your conditional shortcode you are missing single quotes around the name of the field, i.e.

[wpv-post-field name=notre_avis]

... should be...

[wpv-post-field name='notre_avis']

There is still a problem with your condition

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-field name="notre_avis"]' ne '' )"]

You need to use single quotes everywhere inside the if="" test.

But! Even so, in that format where your field includes an apostrophe in the value it doesn't work.

But! I just tested this, and if you insert the conditional shortcode using the GUI then it inserts it in this format:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(notre_avis) ne '' )"]

And in that case it does work correctly, if you want to try that.
