I've noticed that the conditional button is no longer displayed for CRED email notifications. Is this intended? I've had some set up prior to Types 3.0 and they are still working but it occurred to me that maybe this functionality is likely to cease??
Sorry I don't mean conditional statements to control when an email notification is sent, I mean conditional statements within the email body; there used to be a button labelled 'conditional' in the editor toolbar so we could display text/fields using the [wpv-conditional] shortcode.
I just checked on a site with older plugin versions and I don't see it. Do you know a specific CRED version where the conditional button was included?
Are you sure you didn't manually enter the wpv-conditional shortcodes? Or maybe insert them in the form itself then copy and paste them into the notification email body?
It definitely existed pre 1.9.1. I raised an issue with it just over a year ago (https://toolset.com/forums/topic/conditional-button-in-email-notification-set-up-is-inactive/) so did add my conditional statements manually whilst waiting for the update. I didn't ever get to check whether it was actually resolved with 1.9.1 because by then I'd added all the conditional statements I wanted manually!! Now the button's not there at all so I'm wondering whether this is an oversight or an indication that the conditional shortcode isn't supposed to be used in the email body anymore (just concerned my content might end up being incorrect and I'd have no easy way of knowing).
You are right, I went back further in time and found versions of CRED where the button was included (not sure if it worked), and by CRED 1.9.5 it seems to have disappeared.
I know from the internal tickets that there were issues about how buttons were included on the editor, and it may be that was never properly resolved.
But it is not the intention that support for Views shortcodes, including wpv-conditional, inside notification email bodies will be stopped, so your notification conditionals should continue to work, regardless of what happens to the button.
I've escalated this so the developers can take another look, and I'll keep you posted.
I haven't worried about chasing up on this because I've not needed to add any new conditionals to email notifications and even if I did, I can add the code manually even if it's not the quickest method.
However I've now discovered that my existing wpv-conditionals are no longer returning the content they used to. If I roll back to CRED 2.1.1.2, they're fine, with CRED 2.1.2, they're not.
On the form, the user selects one of two options for one custom field (radio select) and other fields are then shown depending on that choice. In the email they are sent on form submission, their choice is confirmed. So this is the code I have in the email notification:-
With CRED 2.1.1.2, the User would see whatever content they added to either custom field 1 or custom field 2. Now they see the actual types shortcode (not the content): [types field='custom-field-1'][/types] or [types field='custom-field-2'][/types].
I received an update from you via a different ticket that the conditional button in the email notification toolbar is being reinstated in the next but one Types upgrade so I'm going to close this but open a new one for the types fields shortcodes as the patch didn't change anything. I'll allocate to you if I can.
