I want to make a conditional output, based on url query param. So, if URL of page like this:
hidden link
then I want to show some content if ABS param is speciafied or not specified or it is exactly 152

I try to make it like this:

[wpv-conditional if="(get_query_var( 'abs', 0 ) eq '0' )" ]

[/wpv-conditional]

but it always show "ABS is not set" on page, not depend on 'abs' param is really set in URL or not.

Hi there

Did you register the function get_query_var to be able to use it inside conditional shortcodes at Toolset > Settings > Front-end Content?

You could also try using the Views shortcode wpv-search-term with the param attribute set to abs, which would output the value of a URL parameter 'abs'. (https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-search-term)

If that doesn't help let me know and I can investigate further.

Hi Nigel,

Yes, I registered this function. And it is still doesn't work.

But wpv-search-term works well, so problem solved.
