Display Conditional Child View depending on Custtom Field Value of Parent View

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to display a different child view based on a custom field value.

Solution:

This seems like something that can be achieved by using our conditional shortcodes to check the custom field value.

Take a look at our documentation below on our conditional shortcode and let me know if it helps.

Tell us what you are trying to do?

Depending on the Value of a Custom Field in the Parent I want to display a different Child View.

Example: The parent has a Custom Field called event type with 2 possible values:

- Concerts
- Classes

If the value is Concerts it should show a child view that lists the musicians
If the Value is classes it should show a child view that lists the teachers

The main issue for me is that I use Elementor which allows me to select a view and I can easy add a child view, but I somehow got stuck about how I could set up the the condition to show the correct view corresponding to the value in the parent view.

Any hint is very welcome and appreciated 🙂

Hi Shane

thanks for your reply and pointing me into the right direction. I think my main confusion was where to use the the short codes for the conditions in Elementor.

Erroneously I tried to use them in the shortcode- and html module in Elementor but I should have added them just into the text module - after that it worked like a charm.

Thanks again, Peter
