    Hi, could someone correct the code below? I’m trying to use an if/then statement to display content based on whether the specific custom field value exists. I’ve gotten it to work, but I can’t get the get_post_meta info to echo within the link:

    <?php
$facebook = get_post_custom_values("FB");

if ($facebook == '')  {
     echo '<li id="facebook">','<a href="',get_post_meta($post->ID, FB, true),'" target="_blank">','Facebook','</a>','</li>';
     }
else {  

     }
?>

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    <?php
$facebook = get_post_custom_values("FB");
if ($facebook == '') :?>
     <li id="facebook"><a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, FB, true);?>" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li>
<?php else : ?>

<?php endif;?>
?>

    Thanks so much esmi, but it still doesn’t seem to work. I do notice an errant ?> in the outputted html. Perhaps there’s a typo in your syntax?

    Sorry, it was my syntax! lol. Cleared it up but it’s still not pulling the value in the URL. It does pull the value in HTML, though. Any thoughts?
