[Closed] Conditionals based on parent custom field

I can't get it to work:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='downpayment-type' output='raw' item='$development-extras.parent'][/types}}' eq 'Dollar Amount' )"]
$[types field='listing-financing-downpayment' item='@development-extras.parent' output='raw'][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]

I tried using the fix suggested here: https://toolset.com/errata/wpv-conditionals-populated-with-types-fields-not-from-current-post-as-at-a-origin-will-fall-back-to-the-current-post-data/

I tried it with "$" and "@" within the conditional for item. I also previously tried the usual method, with if='(wpcf-downpayment-type)' as well.

I must have the syntax wrong somewhere. What's the proper way to do this?

Hi John,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Can you let me know what displays when you just use the shortcode alone.

Parent Field - [types field='downpayment-type' output='raw' item='@development-extras.parent'][/types}}

Add the the above to your page and let me if anything displays.

Secondly if it does display try the conditional like this and enable the debug and send me the debug output that will be printed on the frontend.

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='downpayment-type' output='raw' item='@development-extras.parent'][/types}}' eq 'Dollar Amount' )" debug='true']
[types field='listing-financing-downpayment' item='@development-extras.parent' output='raw'][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane, when I put in the first bit of shortcode, the info displays.

However, when I put in the other shortcode, nothing shows up. And there's no debug info appearing either.

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='downpayment-type' item='@development-extras.parent'][/types]' eq 'Percentage' )" debug='true']
[types field='financing-percentage' item='@development-extras.parent'][/types]%[/wpv-conditional]

You can see it in the financing section part way down this page: hidden link

Downpayment type shows, but not amount. (Don't know if it makes any difference, but the custom field "Amount" is conditional on the "Type".)

Any further suggestions?

Hi John,

Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the page that you are running this test on so that I can have a look to see what is happening here?

I've enabled the private fields for your next response.

Thanks,

Actually, it appears the issue is with shortcodes nested within shorcodes. I'm using Thrive Themes Architect to build my page: a Types field shortcode on its own displays, as does a View.

However, when I try to use a conditional or other shortcode that references a Types CF, it doesn't work. So no shortcode within another shortcode.

I tried plugging the conditional into a content template and inserted that code into the page builder, but still nothing.

I know you can't provide help as it relates to 3rd-party apps, but is there a more general reason why this might be happening and a possible solution to try?

In other words, is there something I can do at the Toolset end that might solve this?

Hi John,

Thank you for the information, would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the site so that I can see the setup exactly ?

I tried plugging the conditional into a content template and inserted that code into the page builder, but still nothing.

This is mainly my concern as if you add the conditional to a content template it should work. I've enabled the private fields for your next response.
Also please send me the page where you are testing this out so that I can know exactly where to look.

Thanks,
Shane
