[Resolved] Toolset block: ok when a lot of conditional, shortcode and relationship stuff?

I am trying to upgrade my existing View code to Toolset block, this the condition that I had in a View:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[can_user_see_unreleased_content]' eq 'yes' OR '[types field='release-date' output='raw'][/types]' <= '[now_time_toolset]')"]

Now with the conditional block I can only do that on the visual editor, check the image capture attached to that message. So I can't tell my Date field to display in raw format which is something that I find missing, then I tried to changed it to the advanced editor, and I copied the conditional that was working but it doesn't want to accept it:

  ( ( '[can_user_see_unreleased_content  ]' = 'yes' ) OR ( '[types field='release-date' output='raw'][/types]' <= '[now_time_toolset  ]' ) ) 

It says: Please, complete all the conditions or remove them.

So how am I suppose to do it ?

And when you want to use that:

<a class="interview-one-name" href="[wpv-post-url item="@person-1min-interview.parent"]">[wpv-post-title item="@person-1min-interview.parent"]</a>

How do you do it with Toolset Blocks?

And when you have a code with that much conditional is it really worth trying to use Toolset Block ?
I'm trying to see if there would be any benefits for that or if I should separate the code in different part and use Fields and Text for exemple because it doesn't work and if I use the HTML block it doesn't work either.
Well, I guess, it's a general question on how do build a "complex" layout with a lot of conditions with your new system and if it was thought to handle that can of stuff. Is it better to stick with the old View stuff ?

[philippeK]

and if you want to add a Fontawesome icon before your Heading block, how do you do that ? Beside going to HTML ?

[Luo Yang]

Hello,

Q1) [wpv-conditional] shortcodes...
I can see the problem you mentioned above, and I have escalated this issue to our 2nd tier supporters.

Currently, I suggest you try "Shortcodes Block", for example setup two shortcodes blocks, with below codes:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[can_user_see_unreleased_content]' eq 'yes' OR '[types field='release-date' output='raw'][/types]' <= '[now_time_toolset]')"]

And

[/wpv-conditional]

Use above blocks to wrap other contents.

Q2) Parent post link ...
This should be possible within Blocks UI, for example, you can add a block: Toolset-> Single field, in right "Block" tab, choose the post type relationship and post title + your custom CSS class name.

However, there will be some manual works to migrate old Views shortcode to new Blocks, same as above, you can also try the HTML block or shortcodes block, just copy/paste the contents, the old Views shortcodes will be able to work too.

Q3) add a Fontawesome icon before your Heading block

There isn't such a feature within Toolset plugins, you might consider other plugins, for example:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/font-awesome/
You can try to add inline codes insider the heading block, see above link, section "USAGE"

[Luo Yang]

Here is the errata link:
https://toolset.com/errata/cant-insert-a-conditional-block-using-the-advanced-editor/

Currently, the workaround is:
When you use Conditional block, avoid using the literal comparison operators like eq, ne and use the traditional operators like =,!=, <.

[Luo Yang]

Hello,

This is fixed in the latest version of Toolset Blocks plugin 1.1.0, you can download it here:
https://toolset.com/account/downloads/

Please test it and feedback if the problem is fixed, thanks
