Using condition in dynamic data retrieve

How To
1

Hello!

I am working on a project where the field called “featured” for one of the post types is of boolean type (that is, it can be turned on and off). If I use the dynamic data query to display the field content, it naturally returns 0 and 1.

How could it be solved that if a value of 1 is returned, then the field should return the text “Featured” and if it is 0, it should return an empty string element.

I’ve tried searching online and Bricks Builder related materials, but I haven’t found anything useful.

I take care of this:

if ({some_field_data} == 1) {echo: “Featured” } else {echo: “”}

Thanks in advance for the ideas and information!

What kind of field, ACF, Metabox, WP Custom Field? Is it a toggle, radio, checkbox?
If you set a checkbox in ACF you can set label to Featured and return that.
If it’s just your own field, or can only return 0/1 you could add a basic text element and set conditions: if {cf_featured} is 0 (or 1) to display (or hide).

Hello!
Thanks for the reply. I don’t know what kind of field it is. The extension is called Essential Real estate

https://wordpress.org/plugins/essential-real-estate/

I made two screenshots, one of which switches the Featured setting in the property list (on and off).

err_properties_list
err_properties_list1378×170 29.2 KB

err_bricksbuilder_template_features_field
err_bricksbuilder_template_features_field687×574 70.9 KB

The other is to display the fields after querying the property list. Here I ran into a problem with the Features field, because it returns either 0 or 1 value (off or on).

Here, I would like to resolve that if the returned value should return an empty string (or not return any results, not even the field itself), if 1, then the text “Featured”.

I hope I have described it clearly.

Thank you

As I said, create a basic text element, then add a condition. Condition = Dynamic data, {cf_real_estate_property_featured}, =, 1
It will only display if 1 (or true) is returned.

Thanks for the reply. I finally managed to solve it. I placed the simple code below in the functions.php file of the child theme.

So the

call: {echo:conditionally_featured_text()}

dynamic data returns text instead of number.

// Essential Real Estate plugin - Bricks: If the property is highlighted, it returns "Featured" text, otherwise "Normal" text. 

// call: {echo:conditionally_featured_text()}

function conditionally_featured_text() {
  $field_featured = bricks_render_dynamic_data( '{cf_real_estate_property_featured}' );

  // You can get more parameters as you like

  if ( $field_featured == 1 ) {
    return 'Featured';
  } else {
    return 'Normal ';
  }
}
