custom fields and custom post type conditional

  • Hello fellow people.

    I am gonna start right away:

    Setup explanation:
    I have 2 portfolio categories (using Avada theme) and I have two different sets of custom fields for each category. I have managed to properly show the correct set of field for the two different categories thus far.

    <?php
$fields = get_field_objects(); 

if ( $fields ) { ?>

<table class="cf-table" width="auto">
  <thead><th style="float: left;">HEADING 1</th></thead>
    <tbody>

      <?php foreach ( $fields as $field_name => $field ) {
         if ($field['type'] == 'true_false') { ?>
            <tr>
               <td>
                 <?php echo $field['label']; ?></td><td>✓
               </td>
            </tr>
         <?php }
      } ?>

    </tbody>
</table>

<?php } ?>

    Problem
    What i want to do now is to show a different < thead > based upon the category the post belongs in. I know that this would normally be achieved by using something like:

    `<?php
    $fields = get_field_objects();

    if ( $fields ) { ?>

    <table class=”cf-table” width=”auto”>

    <?php if (is_category(4)) { ?>
    <thead><th style=”float: left;”>HEADING 1</th></thead>
    <?php } else { ?>
    <thead><th style=”float: left;”>HEADING 2</th></thead>
    <tbody>
    <?php } ?>

    <?php foreach ( $fields as $field_name => $field ) {
    if ($field[‘type’] == ‘true_false’) { ?>
    <tr>
    <td>
    <?php echo $field[‘label’]; ?></td><td>✓
    </td>
    </tr>
    <?php }
    } ?>

    </tbody>
    </table>

    <?php } ?>

    Question

    So my questions are:
    1) Since is_category is not used for custom posts like avada portfolio, which is the correct equivalent ?

    2) Is this syntax correct?

    All tips are appreciated! ??

    Thank you

          } ?>

    </tbody>
  </table>
<?php } ?>

    Hi Pete,

    How would you alter this code to display logo1 versus logo2 depending on the page in Avada? Or just to have a different color scheme depending on the type of page?

    Many thanks,
    Diana
