[Resolved] wpv-conditional with CONTAINS operator

Hi, I am trying to use a CONTAINS operator inside the wpv-conditional shortcode. Here's my example:
[wpv-conditional if="('[types usermeta='my-custom-user-checkboxlist' separator=', ' current_user='true'][/types]' CONTAINS '[wpv-post-taxonomy type='my-custom-post-taxonomy' separator=', ' format='slug']')"]...[/wpv-conditional]

Unfortunately that does not work. Is there a way to achieve that with the wpv-conditional shortcode? Please see my attached debug information.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Here is the Doc that shows information about how you can check the specific taxonomy term assigned:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/legacy-features/views-plugin/displaying-taxonomies-conditionally/#specific

Do you see above Doc helps and you can adjust the conditional shortcode as shown with the example:

[wpv-conditional if="( CONTAINS(#(foreign-language),'chinese') )"]
<p>This consultant speaks Chinese!</p>
[/wpv-conditional]

Hi Minesh, thank you for this piece of information. I was able to do build my condition as follows:

[wpv-conditional if="( CONTAINS(#(ausbildungsmodul),'[types usermeta='user-ausbildungsmodule' option="0" current_user='true'][/types]') OR CONTAINS(#(ausbildungsmodul),'[types usermeta='user-ausbildungsmodule' option="1" current_user='true'][/types]') OR CONTAINS(#(ausbildungsmodul),'[types usermeta='user-ausbildungsmodule' option="2" current_user='true'][/types]') OR CONTAINS(#(ausbildungsmodul),'[types usermeta='user-ausbildungsmodule' option="3" current_user='true'][/types]') OR CONTAINS(#(ausbildungsmodul),'[types usermeta='user-ausbildungsmodule' option="4" current_user='true'][/types]') )"]<p>...</p>[/wpv-conditional]

This way I check if the post taxonomy contains a certain term which comes from a custom user field from the current_user. As this custom user field is a list of checkboxes I need to check each option with an OR operator. It works for me. One last question: Do you see a more elegant/shorter way to achieve this?

No- there is no other workaround. Maybe another possible solution should be custom shortcode but again that you will need to write the custom shortcode code as per your requirement.
