I am trying to:
Display the field by 3 conditions:
1) Specific post id (20)
2) Specific post type ($info)
3) Field not empty
I am using one of posts as preferences of main site page. This post has link, if this link is empty - not show the button.

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='single-line' id='15' id='$my_post_type'][/types]' ne '' "]show me[/wpv-conditional]

As I mentioned here https://toolset.com/forums/topic/conditional-display-if-a-custom-field-in-a-specified-post-has-a-certain-value/#post-1131055, Post ID is something absolutely unique in WordPress, it cannot be doubled by Post Types or similar.
If you call a Post ID you already have the most precise, and unique, data that a Post can own.

However, seen from a broader view, in ShortCodes you can add all attributes that are available from the GUI, so if the GUI supports a post type attribute you can add it, if not, then it's not available.

The field can be checked if empty or not with HTML conditions:

Thank you for fast reply, Beda. So, construction like this must work:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='single-line' id='15' ][/types]' ne '' "]show me[/wpv-conditional]

But it is not working 🙁

[Beda]

You need to use the GUI to create conditionals, and it will not result in that shortcode, instead, it will result in:
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-single-line) ne '' )"]things to show if not empty[/wpv-conditional]

Please use the GUI or our DOC:

Okay, i need to display SPECIFIC POST ID on conditional.

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-internet-shop-link id='20') ne '' )"]test[/wpv-conditional] - not work
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-internet-shop-link) id='20' ne '' )"]test[/wpv-conditional] - not work
[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='internet-shop-link' id='20' ][/types]' ne '' "]test[/wpv-conditional] - not work

How to add specific post id, using the GUI?

[Beda]

You could try this:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-field).id(15) ne '' )"][types field='field' item='15'][/types][/wpv-conditional]

(change 15, to match the Post ID)

It's actually not in the GUI (only related posts can be added as id) and I reported that to be added.

I apologise, this does not work.
I am not sure why it should, it did yesterday, however, I might have fooled myself here with a logic mistake, today i tried this again and I cannot check if a field of a specific post is empty.

I however then made it work like this:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='toolset-single-line' item='21'][/types]' ne '' )"]
[types field='toolset-single-line' item='21'][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]

I reported this issues.

Hello, Beda. Thank you for reply. I did try this code too, but it's not work 🙁

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='internet-shop-link' item='20'][/types]' ne '' )"]
[types field='internet-shop-link' item='20'][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]

It is not good solution, but i solved my promblem - i added new field - checkbox and did new conditional code:

                [types field='check-not-show-link' item='20' state="checked"]
                   <!-- Show nothing -->
                [/types]
                [types field='check-not-show-link' item='20' state="unchecked"]
                   [types field='internet-shop-link' item='20'][/types]
                [/types]

If the new checkbox is checked - the the field is not showing, if checkbox is not checked - the field is showing

[Beda]

Can you grant me access to the site, share the link with the post where the field is stored, and where you check up on the field?
I can then have a look and edit it there if you agree.

[Beda]

Please share the login url, since you modified the native WordPress login-paths. I end up in 404's everywhere.

I'm sorry, updated the private message

[Beda]

That's not a single line but a URL field?
Try to compare against raw values, in those cases.

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='internet-shop-link' item='20' raw='true'][/types]' ne '' )"]
[types field='internet-shop-link' item='20'][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]

Thank you, Beda! You are awesome! It works, and now i know: to compare fields - they must be raw. Thank you and have a good day! Best support team ever!

Great, then we can close here.
