Hello

I have a CPT 'User Will' wth fields 'about-yourself-status', 'financial-assets-status', 'residuary-estate-status', 'executors-status' and 'guardians-status'

I also have a custom shortcode [child_func] which if ==1 tells me that the user has children.

What I want to achieve is to display the text 'VIEW NOW' but only if the fields above ( 'about-yourself-status', 'financial-assets-status', 'residuary-estate-status', 'executors-status' and 'guardians-status') all equal 'Yes' however I only want 'guardians-status' to equal 'Yes' if the shortcode [child_func] ==1

This happens on the template page for the CPT 'User Will' so al the fields are present on the page...

I can manage the conditional part for the first 5 fields but not for the 'guardians-status'

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-about-yourself-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-financial-assets-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-residuary-estate-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-executors-status) eq 'Yes' )"] VIEW NOW [/wpv-conditional]

Hope that makes sense..
Many thanks

Geoff

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - as I understand you want two conditions?

First case:
( 'about-yourself-status', 'financial-assets-status', 'residuary-estate-status', 'executors-status' and 'guardians-status') all equal 'Yes'

Second case:
guardians-status equal 'Yes' and shortcode [child_func] ==1

If yes, what how you want to connect the first case with the second case
- First case AND Second case
- First case OR Second case

Can you please share the above information.

#1208120

Hi Minesh

Thank you for your speedy response... and yes you're correct with the two cases...and they both need to happen at the same time i.e. First case AND Second case

Many thanks

Geoff

What if you try to use the following code:

.
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-about-yourself-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-financial-assets-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-residuary-estate-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-executors-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND (  [child_func] eq '1' )"] 

VIEW NOW 

[/wpv-conditional]

Where:
- Please do not forget to register the shortcode child_func at:
=> Toolset => Settings => Front-end content => Third-party shortcode arguments

#1208271

Hi Minesh

I only want to include AND ( $(wpcf-guardians-status eq 'Yes' ) in the argument if [child_func] eq '1' )"] so as I've tried to demonstrate below..but I don't think this will work

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-about-yourself-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-financial-assets-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-residuary-estate-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-executors-status) eq 'Yes' )

AND IF( [child_func] eq '1' )"] AND ( $(wpcf-guardians-status eq 'Yes' )

So to simplify:
IF
'about-yourself-status'
'financial-assets-status'
'residuary-estate-status'
'executors-status'
ALL = 'Yes'

AND ONLY IF [child_func] = 1
AND
'guardians-status'
= 'Yes'

RETURN TRUE

So Example #1 for returning true:

'about-yourself-status' = 'Yes'
'financial-assets-status' = 'Yes'
'residuary-estate-status' = 'Yes'
'executors-status' = 'Yes'
'guardians-status' = 'Yes'
[child_func] = 1
TRUE

Example #2 for returning True:
'about-yourself-status' = 'Yes'
'financial-assets-status' = 'Yes'
'residuary-estate-status' = 'Yes'
'executors-status' = 'Yes'
'guardians-status' = 'Yes'
[child_func] = 0
TRUE

Can I see where you try to apply this condition?

Could you please share problem URL and 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.

Could you please check now. I've added the following conditional statement:

[wpv-conditional if="(( $(wpcf-about-yourself-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-financial-assets-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-residuary-estate-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-executors-status) eq 'Yes' )) AND ((  [child_func] eq '1' ) AND ( $(wpcf-guardians-status) eq 'Yes' ))"]
 <p>VIEW NOW </p>
[/wpv-conditional]

Hi Minesh

Thanks for looking into this..

This only works if the person has the guardians section active and complete (5) however if the user doesn't have children then this section doesn't show for them and [child_func] = 0

So I need it to be something like:

IF
[wpv-conditional if="(( $(wpcf-about-yourself-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-financial-assets-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-residuary-estate-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-executors-status) eq 'Yes' )) AND [child_func] not equal 1

OR

[wpv-conditional if="(( $(wpcf-about-yourself-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-financial-assets-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-residuary-estate-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-executors-status) eq 'Yes' )) AND [child_func] equal to 1 AND ( $(wpcf-guardians-status) eq 'Yes' )

Best regards Minesh

Well - do you mean that you want to apply OR clause?

Or you want to have two different conditional statements?

#1208576

Hi Minesh

Yes, I think it would have to be 2 different statements with an OR function..so

IF Condition 1 OR Condition 2 is met then return TRUE

Many thanks

I do not understand this - because when you use OR - it will give you TRUE in both cases - do you want that? If yes:

Please use the following conditional statemenets:

[wpv-conditional if="(( $(wpcf-about-yourself-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-financial-assets-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-residuary-estate-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-executors-status) eq 'Yes' )) AND ((  [child_func] ne '1' ) )"]
 <p>VIEW NOW </p>
[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="(( $(wpcf-about-yourself-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-financial-assets-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-residuary-estate-status) eq 'Yes' ) AND ( $(wpcf-executors-status) eq 'Yes' )) AND ((  [child_func] eq '1' ) AND ( $(wpcf-guardians-status) eq 'Yes' ))"]
 <p>VIEW NOW </p>
[/wpv-conditional]
#1208587

Yes but how do I include both true conditions using an OR?

So to simplify I need

if 1 + 1 = 2

OR

if 2+2 =4

THEN

#1208609

Hi Minesh

That worked a treat!...Thank you..

I have a couple of other small issues that you may be able to help with quickly:

1. When I use a date field with a pop up date select calendar, it takes a few seconds to show the date when it's been selected..why is there this delay? An example page is here:
hidden link

2. After setting up my site, every url seems to have the prefix index.php/ for some reason...e.g hidden link name.com/index.php/the-page-i-need rather than hidden link name.com/the-page-i-need Why is this?

Best regards

Geoff
