Conditional visibility of field/tan and rendering of shortcodes

Hi @daddiofaddio,

What theme are you using? If you are using one of our new themes it has more condtionals built in.

1. Making fields/tabs only visible to listing owners/authors. – as mentioned above, if you are using one of our new themes this is built-in, however, i do like that idea and i’ll add a task for this to be added to our dynamic content element. https://github.com/AyeCode/geodirectory/issues/2630
2. If using tabs with a few fields your best bet is to use the shortcode tab, this will only dispaly if there is content, so you could add multiple fields and it will only show it there is output.
   You should be able to control the output easier also. And if you need to add custom labels you can wrap the whole thing in a dyanmic content shortcode, so for this you have have shortcodes inside the synamic content shortcode.
3. This can technically could be done with a few dyanic content shortcodes (depending on the amount of avaialble values) It could also be done via a filter. (let me know if you need this explaind more).

Hopefully i unerstood your points, sometimes its best to describe what you need it to do rather than how you think you should do it, and i can describe the best way to achive the end goal ??

Thanks,

Stiofan

Thank you for the quick response!

I use a custom theme built on an html directory template, found here: https://themes.getbootstrap.com/product/directory-directory-listing-bootstrap-4-theme/

I will check out your themes.

As for what I’m trying to accomplish:

I host a professional listings/membership directory where members select a subscription package during signup. As part of the different subscription levels offered, members choose different digital badges at the time of registration. After successfully registering, the members then have access to download the badges for the life the the subscription. I use the WP File Download plugin as the digital downloads manager. In my current setup using another directory plugin, I created a custom multiselect field and set it up as described in the last part of my post above (another separate field that has default value of the WPFD shortcode “[wpfd_single_file id='{ }’]”. When the options are selected, they are entered into the default value and the short codes are rendered dynamically on the profile details page in a separate tab). Although WPFD has user-level content restriction options for its native display options, I can’t apply those options for the directory since the files are dynamically selected and I’m using the same file for multiple users. The content restrictions of the directory plugin, however, separately allows for user-level conditional options, and I have set the option to allow for conditional visibility of the tab only for that member. I would like to accomplish the same with GeoDirectory.

As a side note, many of the professionals in my directory are older and not computer savvy at all. Initially, despite multiple thorough FAQs about downloading the digital files and a very obvious menu link to download the files in their member dashboard/Woocommerce My Account page, etc., the single most common email question my support team still received from members was asking where they could find their badges. I found this setup crucial to stop all the support requests. I could see the functionality also applying to a number of different user cases, so thank you for adding it!

Ok, thanks for the info. As mentioned above, the release later today will have user content restriction in the dynamic content shortcode. This should allow you to do what you want by limiting it to the listing owner and wrapping your other shortcode in that dyanmic content call.

If your not sure what i mean, just let me know and i can explain further.

Thanks,

Stiofan

Awesome, thanks for including the feature! Works great!!
