Remove Container Condition question

Hi,
Sorry it took so long for me to get back to this one.
Both codes work…in a way. The issue that I’m having is that if I use the code on the page that I linked to, either with a checkbox or with text, the container is visible when the checkbox is unchecked or the text field is not filled in.

I want to show it if the checkbox is checked or the text field is filled in, and hide the container when it’s not.

I’ve tried revising the code a bit without success. If I change the “false” to “true” it messes up my entire layout.

How can I revise the code on that page so it hides the container when the box is unchecked or the text is not filled?

Hi, thanks.

That sort of works. What I was going for were separate issues — one where I could check an ACF checkbox and then the content inside the container would show.

And a different area where I could have a container show based on if text was in a field or not.

To test out the code you provided just now, instead of putting the desired content inside the container, I added it as the preset text in the ACF text field and then put that in a text block inside the container, with the checkbox linked to whether the container showed or not to test it. I also put some other default content inside the container.

What happens is this: If the text field is not filled in, but I check the checkbox, the container does not show. If anything, including the prefilled information, is in the text field but I do not check the checkbox the container does not show.

So it works if I have default information in the text field and then use the checkbox. It would be simpler just to have a text block inside the container with the container showing if I check the checkbox — but it was doing the opposite before.

Thanks

Yes. My original question was how to modify the code to use a text field instead of a checkbox. But then I found where I wanted to use a checkbox to show or hide a particular container.

However, the code did the opposite: it was showing the contents of the container when I unchecked the checkbox and was hiding it if I checked the box.
Thanks

Hi, thanks.
Again, for some reason, if I have the checkbox empty it does NOT show the container. Maybe I should just make “do not show” checkboxes and have them checked by default, but that seems backwards. But I can try that if necessary. My goal was to have a container with some content. Then be able to check a box if I want to show that container and hide it if the box is not checked.

And have a separate code for showing a container based on whether some text was in a particular field.

That’s weird. OK.

Here’s my code; I removed the text field:

add_filter( 'render_block', function( $block_content, $block ) { 
	if ( 
		! is_admin() && 
		! empty( $block['attrs']['className'] ) && 
		strpos( $block['attrs']['className'], 'editorial-use-container' ) !== false 
	) {           
		$checkbox   = get_field( 'is_editorial_use_only' );

		// If checkbox is checked or text field is filled, hide the block
		if ( $checkbox ) {
			return '';
		}

		// If checkbox is not checked AND text is empty, show the block
		return $block_content;
	}

	// Return original content if conditions aren't met
	return $block_content;
}, 10, 2 );

My checkbox field name (as an example, if this works, I’ll do it with other checkboxes) is is_editorial_use_only

In the Additional CSS Classes for the container, I have editorial-use-container, and I have some text inside that container that I want to conditionally show if the checkbox is checked.

What is still happening is that it shows up when the checkbox is NOT checked.

Right now, this is on a staging site and not something I can link to.

Well, thanks. I did some of that and was getting the same result. I ended up using this:

add_filter('render_block', function($block_content, $block) {
    // Check if we're not in admin and block has className attribute
    if (!is_admin() && !empty($block['attrs']['className'])) {
        
        // Check for first condition/element
        if (strpos($block['attrs']['className'], 'all-rights-reserved-container') !== false) {
            $checkbox1 = get_field('not_all_rights_reserved');
            if ($checkbox1) {
                return ''; // Hide this element if checkbox1 is true
            }
        }
        
        // Check for second condition/element
        if (strpos($block['attrs']['className'], 'royalty-free-container') !== false) {
            $checkbox2 = get_field('not_royalty_free');
            if ($checkbox2) {
                return ''; // Hide this element if checkbox2 is true
            }
        }
        
        // Check for third condition/element
        if (strpos($block['attrs']['className'], 'editorial-use-container') !== false) {
            $checkbox3 = get_field('not_editorial_use_only');
            if ($checkbox3) {
                return ''; // Hide this element if checkbox3 is true
            }
        }
    }
    
    // Return original content if no conditions are met
    return $block_content;
}, 10, 2);

and then setting all of my checkboxes to “true” as the default value so the checkboxes are checked and the containers do not show by default, and then unchecking the box when I want a container to show.
That works, I just need to remember it’s backward from how I’d normally think about doing it:)
