Hi, I have a job website with 'Job' post types. It contains various custom fields. There are two custom fields with url links. It often happens that both of my url links in the same post type is same. Hence I want to hide the second url link where the two url links are same. How can I achieve it through conditional output? Please help.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please tell me how you added both of those fields that is having links?

Normally, you can use Types shortcode with conditional shortcode:

For example:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='your-field-1'][/types]' eq '[types field='your-field-2'][/types]' )"]
[types field='your-field-1'][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='your-field-1'][/types]' ne '[types field='your-field-2'][/types]' )"]
Field 1: [types field='your-field-1'][/types]
Field 2: [types field='your-field-2'][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]

See, in my job post I usually put two links at the bottom of the post- one for 'Job notification' and the other for 'Apply Online' and both are compulsory fields.
There are certain circumstances where the hiring company doesn't provide online application facility and since these are compulsory fields we put the 'Detailed Notification' link in the 'Apply Online' so that it doesn't show validation error while saving the Job post.
I don't know whether this validation can be made optional from post to post. But I found that a condition logic by matching the values in the custom URL fields would help me to hide the duplicate link.
Here I am giving you examples:
Example 1: This link has two buttons at the bottom of the post with two different urls (hidden link) This is OK.

Example 2: This link has two buttons at the bottom of the post with one urls (hidden link). I want to remove the 'Apply Online' button.

The following codes are in use at present.
For Detailed Notification:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-last-date-of-application) gte 'TODAY()')"]
<div id="button-1">[types field='detailed-notification-link' title='Detailed Notification' target='_blank'][/types]</div>
[/wpv-conditional]

For Apply Online:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-last-date-of-application) gte 'TODAY()' ) AND ( $(wpcf-walk-in-interview) ne '1' )"]
<div id="button-2">[types field='apply' title='Apply Now' target='_blank'][/types]</div>
[/wpv-conditional]

Hope I can make you understand my point. Thank you.

Ok - what if you just try to remove the following conditional statement:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-last-date-of-application) gte 'TODAY()' ) AND ( $(wpcf-walk-in-interview) ne '1' ) "]
<div id="button-2">[types field='apply' title='Apply Now' target='_blank'][/types]</div>
[/wpv-conditional]

And replace that with the conditional statement as given under and try to resolve your issue.

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-last-date-of-application) gte 'TODAY()' ) AND ( $(wpcf-walk-in-interview) ne '1' )  AND  ( '[types field='detailed-notification-link' output='raw'][/types]' ne '[types field='apply' output='raw'][/types]' )"]
<div id="button-2">[types field='apply' title='Apply Now' target='_blank'][/types]</div>
[/wpv-conditional]
