ParticipantHi,
Did I miss something or is it impossible to test for values with shortcodes?For ACF this works:
[wpbb-if post:acf type='text' name='string_value' exp='equals' value='try me out']
True: ACF field called string_value equals the test value "try me out".<br>
string_value is "[wpbb post:acf type='text' name='string_value']"
[wpbb-else]False: ACF field called string_value does not equal the test value "try me out".<br>
string_value is "[wpbb post:acf type='text' name='string_value']"
[/wpbb-if]The following doesn't work. Looks like name is not detected. I also tried id to no avail
[wpbb-if post:meta_box type='text' name='string_value' exp='equals' value='try me out']
True: Meta Box field called string_value equals the test value "try me out".<br>
string_value is "[wpbb post:meta_box type='text' field='string_value']"
[wpbb-else]False: Meta Box field called string_value does not equal the test value "try me out".<br>
string_value is "[wpbb post:meta_box type='text' field='string_value']"
[/wpbb-if]Thanks,

ModeratorHi,
Thank you for reaching out.
I'm not sure the way Beaver shortcode logic works but if you want to use the Beaver conditional logic, please follow this article https://metabox.io/introducing-beaver-themer-conditional-logic-integration/.

March 26, 2021 at 4:22 PM #26723ParticipantHi Long,
thanks for your answer.Sure I know how to use Beaver Themer's conditional logic feature.
The reason why I ask is that the shortcode way provides a second layer of conditionals for ACF and Pods, which is sometimes very helpful.Interestingly testing for presence of field content works:
[wpbb-if post:meta_box type='text' field='string_value']
Content of the field:[wpbb post:meta_box type='text' field='string_value']
[/wbpp-if]
The content only shows if the field has any.Please dive into this and take it as a feature request – I'm confident that it's not asking for rocket science to make it work also for Meta Box.
Kind regards,

Thanks for your feedback.
I will inform the development team to consider adding it to the roadmap of this extension to support Beaver conditional shortcode.
