Dear Sir/Madam,

I need to check whether the parent post field contain data and display the parent image via the conditional

In the Loop Output, I put below code

[wpv-conditional debug="true" if="( $(_wpcf_belongs_host-photo_id) ne '' )"]
	[types field="host-photo" size="full" align="center" id="$host"][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]

I got the debug result

####################
wpv-conditional attributes
####################
Array
(
    [debug] => true
    [if] => ( $(_wpcf_belongs_host-photo_id) ne '' )
)

####################
Debug information
####################
--------------------
Original expression: ( $(_wpcf_belongs_host-photo_id) ne '' )
--------------------
--------------------
Converted expression: ( '' ne '' )
--------------------

Below shortcode I can retrieve the parent field host-photo if I don't put into the conditional, host-photo is an image type field

[types field="host-photo" size="full" align="center" id="$host"][/types]

What should I get from the converted expression normally?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I think you put wrong parent post slug. You have used field slug instead of parent post slug. Could you please try following code:

[wpv-conditional debug="true" if="( $(_wpcf_belongs_host_id) ne '' )"]
    [types field="host-photo" size="full" align="center" id="$host"][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]

I hope above solution help you to resolve your issue.

Dear Minesh,

Thanks for your reply. As mentioned, I need to check whether the parent post field contain data, {host} is parent post slug and {host-photo} is the field slug.

The page will firstly query the program and then query the host associated with the program

there is an intermediary post program-and-host is the child post of program and host. In the view, I query the program-and-host with filter "Select posts that are children of the Post where this View is shown."

If you check the $(_wpcf_belongs_host_id) , it is always existed. I need to check whether the parent post's host-photo field is set.

Best regards,

Kelvin

I understand now. you want to check "host-photo" field has assigned value or not.

Could you please try following code:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field="host-photo" id="$host"][/types]' ne '' )"]
    [types field="host-photo" size="full" align="center" id="$host"][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]

I hope above solution will help you to resolve your issue.

Dear MInesh,

Yes, I should directly get the field content rather than check the parent id. Problem is fixed.

Best regards,

Kelvin.
