[Resolved] Conditional logic within shortcodes

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am displaying a Type by using a shortcode. This is the HTML:
<p><i class="fas fa-map-marker-alt">[types field='city'][/types], [types field='state-or-province'][/types], [types field='country'][/types]</p>
Right now, if there is no value for [types field='city'][/types], it will still show a comma before the next field value. That is a bit weird, and I want to make that comma conditional. It should only follow [types field='city'][/types] if there is a value in there. If that value is empty, the comma should also not show.

I've tried to use the below HTML to achieve this, but it doesn't work, it still shows the commas even if the values are empty.

<p><i class="fas fa-map-marker-alt">
[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='city' output='raw'][/types]' ne '' )"]
[types field='city'][/types]
[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='state-or-province' output='raw'][/types]' ne '' )"], [/wpv-conditional]
[/wpv-conditional]

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='state-or-province' output='raw'][/types]' ne '' )"]
[types field='state-or-province'][/types]
[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='country' output='raw'][/types]' ne '' )"], [/wpv-conditional]
[/wpv-conditional]

[types field='country'][/types]
</p>

Can you help me with this?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please try to use the following conditoinal shortcode and check if that help you to resolve your issue:

<p><i class="fas fa-map-marker-alt">[types field='city'][/types], [types field='state-or-province'][/types], [types field='country'][/types]</p>

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='city' output='raw'][/types]' ne '' )"]
[types field='city'][/types],
[/wpv-conditional]

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='state-or-province' output='raw'][/types]' ne '' )"]
[types field='state-or-province'][/types],
[/wpv-conditional]

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='country' output='raw'][/types]' ne '' )"]
[types field='country'][/types] 
[/wpv-conditional]

Hello. Thanks for your reply. I've tried your suggestion, but it is still not resolved. I still see the redundant comma, and on top of that that information shows up twice now. Please see attached screenshot. I've changed it back to the original version for now. Do you have another suggestion that I can follow?

That is strange. Can you please share problem URL and admin access details.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

I've enable the legacy view so we can build content template in legacy mode:
=> https://toolset.com/course-lesson/enabling-legacy-version-of-toolset-views/

I've created the following content template and added the conditional code as given under:
=> hidden link

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='city' output='raw'][/types]' ne '' )"]<p><i class="fas fa-map-marker-alt"></i>[types field='city'][/types],[/wpv-conditional][wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='state-or-province' output='raw'][/types]' ne '' )"][types field='state-or-province'][/types],[/wpv-conditional][wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='country' output='raw'][/types]' ne '' )"][types field='country'][/types] [/wpv-conditional]</p>

I can see its working as expected:
- hidden link

Thanks for your help! This is indeed working, also on the production site.
