Conditional w/ radio and checkboxes

  • I have a conditional statement which only shows data if the user selected items in a checkbox list. I have another section that does this for radio buttons.

    The problem I’m having is when I try to display the data on the front end (if the user selected any checkboxes), it just outputs the word “array”. Here’s my code:

    <?php if (!((get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpcf-exterior-types', TRUE))=='')) {
	echo '<p><strong>Exterior Types: </strong>'.get_post_meta($post->ID,'wpcf-exterior-types',TRUE).'</p>';
	} ?>

    How can I write the code so that it will only echo the above code if the user selected any checkbox data?

    The problem I’m having with the radio buttons is a little different. It just outputs either “1” or “2” depending on if the user selected “yes” or “no” radio in the back end. When creating the custom meta field, I even tried changing the values that showed either 1 or 2, to the actual words “yes” and “no”, but it still shows 1 or 2 on the front end. Here’s my code for that:

    <?php if (!((get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpcf-foreclosure', TRUE))=='')) {
	echo '<p><strong>Foreclosure: </strong>'.get_post_meta($post->ID,'wpcf-forecosure',TRUE).'</p>';
	} ?>

    Any ideas on either of these two issues?

  • Hi Matt,

    To debugging the issue please let me know which WordPress hook you are using for achieving these conditions.

    Hope you are using WordPress 3.5.1 and Types 1.2.1.

    Bigul,

    What do you mean by what hook I am using? I’m not much of a developer, so I apologize for this. I am using the most recent versions of WordPress and the Types plugin.

    Hi Mat,

    I mean where you have put the following code and how you apply check boxes condition(On select).
    <?php if (!((get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘wpcf-exterior-types’, TRUE))==”)) {
    echo ‘<p>Exterior Types: ‘.get_post_meta($post->ID,’wpcf-exterior-types’,TRUE).'</p>’;
    } ?>

    Hey Matt – if those are actual copy/paste of code, the second example has foreclosure misspelled in the second reference. Don’t know why the statement is failing but that might be something…

    Hi Mat,

    Any Updates.

    Is there a way to have a conditional field (a text field) that is triggered based when a specified radio button within in a radio/select group is selected?
