Hi,

I am trying to display content using a conditional output based on a Toolset date field.

When an event is more than 30 days away the user has an option to pay a deposit, then pay in full closer to the event.
If the event is in 30 days or less I need to hide any content relating to the deposit option.

Something along the lines of below. Essentially it's just the bit between the ** that I need...

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-event-date) ** > 30 days away ** )"]DEPOSIT AVAILABLE[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-event-date) ** < 30 days away ** )"]DEPOSIT NOT AVAILABLE[/wpv-conditional]

Help much appreciated!

Thanks
James

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - what if you try to use the following shortcodes:

You can use date functions that will help you to compare the custom date field.

If event after 30 days:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-event-date) gte FUTURE_DAY(30) )" debug="true"]
Yes - this is after 30 days
[/wpv-conditional]

If even before 30 days:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-event-date) lte FUTURE_DAY(30) )" debug="true"]
Yes - this is after 30 days
[/wpv-conditional]
