[Resolved] Conditional logic with repeatable field groups

I have a simple View that displays ticket prices for our events. There may be many pricing tiers, so ticket data is in a repeating field group. I've set up a View to loop through all the tickets for a given event, and everything works as expected.

Example:
Members — $0
Associate Members — $25
Guests — $65

As in the above example, some events are free for our members. Instead of "$0" I would like to say "FREE", but there doesn't seem to be any conditional logic available to do this in the loop template editor. It seems to be a strange limitation. Is this by design, and is there a workaround you can suggest?

Hello,

You can use [wpv-conditional] shortcode to check the custom field value, and display what you want, see below test site:
Login URL: hidden link

1) Setup the [wpv-conditional] shortcode as below:
hidden link

[wpv-conditional if=" ('[types field="ticket-price"][/types]' EQ '0') "]FREE[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if=" ('[types field="ticket-price"][/types]' NQ '0') "][types field="ticket-price"][/types][/wpv-conditional]

2) Test it in frontend:
hidden link
It works fine.

Thank you, that worked! However I wanted to mention that the price field isn't available in the "Insert conditional shortcode" dialog so I thought it wasn't recognized. I didn't realize that I could enter it manually.

Yes, you are right, since the ticket price field is in repeatable field groups, you need to setup the condition manually, for example:

				[wpv-conditional if=" ('[types field="ticket-price"][/types]' EQ '0') "]FREE[/wpv-conditional]
				[wpv-conditional if=" ('[types field="ticket-price"][/types]' NE '0') "][types field="ticket-price"][/types][/wpv-conditional]

Good to know. I'm a designer more than a coder, so the Toolset UI is very helpful for me to accomplish many things on my own, without the expense of an expert . I'm an early Toolset adopter, and glad that I purchased a Lifetime membership years ago, because your support is superb. My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
