Conditional for custom profile fields.......

[Buczilla]

I'm pretty sure this one requires hacking, but I might as well ask.....

I have several things in mind (for custom profile fields) that require conditionals. For example, a gender field. I would want to have 3 options....... Male, Female, and Not Specified. If it is Not Specified, it currently shows up in postbit as 'Not Specified'. I was wondering if you could use a conditional for this.

<if condition="$post[fieldx] == 'Male'">Male</if>
<if condition="$post[fieldx] == 'Female'">Female</if>

Anyone have any advice? Thanks

Try the following:

<if condition="$post[fieldx]">$post[fieldx]</if>

That'll only show if it's set or not, otherwise it won't show at all.

Yes, I've got that down....it's just, the Gender thing is a radio group........so there is always a value for it.

Sorry for not being clear, and thanks for the help

What you posted in your first post would work.

Hmmmmmm........I had tried it earlier, and it did not work. Let me double check. Maybe I forgot a quote or something.

Edit: Sure enough, I forgot a quote......instead of:

<if condition="$post[fieldx] == 'Male'">Male</if>

It should be:

<if condition="$post['fieldx'] == 'Male'">Male</if>


Thanks Freddie
