Displaying Extra Fields using "if" statements

I am trying to use extra fields on my product page. I want to be able to call each extra field individually in different locations and only show them if there is a "value" for that particular extra field.

For example: I have an extra field called "texture", it is the 3rd field from the top (so it is number "2"), below you will see the code I am using, it works just fine to show the field and it's value, but it doesn't go away when the field is left blank like I want it to. Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong here? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Code:



{section name=texture}

{if $extra_fields[texture].active eq "Y" && $extra_fields[texture].field_value}

<strong>{$extra_fields[2].field}:</strong> {$extra_fields[2].field_value}

{/if}

{/section}

Re: Displaying Extra Fields using "if" statements

I've done something like this in XC 4.1.12 to control just one extra field:

Code:

{if $active_modules.Extra_Fields ne ""}

{if $extra_fields[0].field_value eq "y"}

*** Display your html/fields here ***

{/if}                                                

{/if}

Re: Displaying Extra Fields using "if" statements

If anyone else wants to accomplish something similar, I just figured it out. :mrgreen:

The extra field number needed to be used in "if"statement as well.

This code works -

Code:



{section name=brand}

{if $extra_fields[6].active eq "Y" && $extra_fields[6].field_value}

<strong>{$extra_fields[6].field}:</strong> {$extra_fields[6].field_value}

<br>

{/if}

{/section}

Re: Displaying Extra Fields using "if" statements

Yes this code snippet was helpful, for some reason I was typing a similar code and it didn't work, I tried 6 variations of the code.

Then I just simply copied and pasted your code and it worked, then I finally modified it and everything works as expected.

Much appreciation to you for this! (Only took me 4 hours to get it work) :S LOL
