Need Help Understanding How to Hide a Custom Attribute

    Hello all – I have successfully been able to follow instructions provided in the documentation for adding custom attributes to a new event form but need to be able to add a conditional placeholder to three of my custom attributes.

    I have created the following custom attributes and added them to the events attribute box here Events > Settings > General > Pages: 

    #_ATT{Open To The Public?}{Yes|No|}
#_ATT{Coordinator Name}
#_ATT{Phone}
#_ATT{Email}

    I’ve tried to add the following code to the ‘Default Single Event’ here: Events > Settings > Formatting > Default Single Event Box

    <div style="float:right; margin:0px 0px 15px 15px;">#_LOCATIONMAP</div>
<p>
	<strong>Date/Time</strong><br/>
	Date(s) - #_EVENTDATES<br /><i>#_EVENTTIMES</i>
</p>
{has_location}
<p>
	<strong>Location</strong><br/>
	#_LOCATIONLINK
</p>
{/has_location}
<p>
<strong>Event Details</strong><br />
Open To The Public - #_ATT{Open To The Public?}{Yes|No|}<br />
{has_coordinator_name}
Coordinator Name - #_ATT{Coordinator Name}<br />
{/has_coordinator_name}
{has_phone}Phone - #_ATT{Phone}<br />
{/has_phone}
{has_email}
Email - #_ATT{Email}<br />
{/has_email}
</p>
<p>
	<strong>Categories</strong>
	#_CATEGORIES
</p>
<br style="clear:both" />
#_EVENTNOTES
{has_bookings}
<h3>Bookings</h3>
#_BOOKINGFORM
{/has_bookings}

    It is hiding the custom attribute fields I created. Am I formatting the html incorrectly, do I need to add some php somewhere, or all of the above?

    Thank you.

    the conditional placeholders you’re wrapping them around (e.g. {has_coordinator_name}) don’t exist.

    if you’ve tried to create these using PHP, maybe that’s the problem and they’re not showing due to that.

    Hi Marcus,

    I have not tried to create those using PHP. Are you familiar with creating new conditional placeholders?

    I did find this tutorial and tried to add the code to my template to see if it works via the mu-plugin option but it keeps bringing up errors.

    I don’t need to create ‘Style’ specific pages, only create the placeholders.

    Would you mind taking a quick look to see what steps I need to complete in order to create the conditional placeholders I need to use?

    The link is below. I’m confused after 45 minutes of tinkering around.

    What do the errors you mentioned say?

    Morning, Caimin_nwl. I decided to employ the alternate text option to my custom attribute instead of tackle understanding/teaching myself how to make this PHP work at this time. It was the simplest solution and helps maintain the layout of the page, spatially.

    In the general options:
    #_ATT{Email}{n/a}

    Events > Settings > Formatting > Default Single Event Box:

    <br style="clear:both" />
<div>#_LOCATIONMAP</div>
<br style="clear:both" />
<p>
	<strong>Date/Time</strong><br/>
	Date(s) - #_EVENTDATES<br /><i>#_EVENTTIMES</i>
</p>
{has_location}
<p>
	<strong>Location</strong><br/>
	#_LOCATIONLINK
</p>
{/has_location}
<p>
<strong>Event Details</strong><br />
Open To The Public - #_ATT{Open To The Public?}{Yes|No|}<br />
Coordinator Name - #_ATT{Coordinator Name}{ Coordinator Name:  n/a}<br />
Event Phone:  #_ATT{Event Phone}{n/a}<br />
Event Email:  #_ATT{Event Email}{n/a}<br />
Event Registration URL:  #_ATT{Event Registration URL}{n/a}
</p>
<p>
	<strong>Categories</strong>
	#_CATEGORIES
</p>
<br style="clear:both" />
<h5>Event Description</h5>
#_EVENTNOTES
{has_bookings}
<h5>Bookings</h5>
#_BOOKINGFORM
{/has_bookings}

    Thank you both for taking the time to help me.
