Conditional Placeholders
RSDirectory! offers the possibility to set up conditional placeholders. This allows you to display any information (for example add some text, other field's placeholders) only if a value was submitted in a certain field. You'll need to use the following syntax:
{if field-name}Add any information here, including field placeholders: {another-field}{/if}
This syntax is available in all RSDirectory! areas where the use of placeholders is possible:
- The Email Messages tab
- Per form - the Layouts, Messages and Contact tabs
Example:
{if {field_name_1} == {field_name_2}} This text will be displayed if the field_name_1 is matching field_name_2 value{/if}
{if {field_name} == Your desired value} this text gets displayed only if the placeholder has the "Your desired value" value {/if}.
{if value == {field_name}} this text gets displayed only if the placeholder has the "Your desired value" value {/if}.
{if {field_name}} This text will be displayed if there is a value added {/if} - The string found within the {if} syntax will not show if the field has no value.
For older versions, the syntax would be:{if field_name} This text will be displayed if there is a value added {/if} - The string found within the {if} syntax will not show if the field has no value.
The {if} clause also accept the following operators:<= , >=, <>, <, >, !=, =,==,===, <-, ->
Nested conditionals
These special {if} conditions can be nested, as in the following example:
{if field-name-1}
{if field-name-2}Add your information here{/if}
{/if}
Note: Make sure to replace field-name with your field's actual internal name.
