Random question here.
Is there a way to use an if statement based on field type?
Example: say i want to call an array like below for only radio buttons, but not text fields??
$map = array(
'yes' => '<i class="icon-ok"></i>',
'no' => '<i class="icon-remove"></i>'
);
So would something like this work (assuming the correct calling of a field type:
if ($fields = [select]) {
$map = array(
'yes' => '<i class="icon-ok"></i>',
'no' => '<i class="icon-remove"></i>'
);
} else {
};
Figured it out!!
I took a chance and made an if statement based on what I thought was the radio button type (turned out to be ‘choices’) and it actually worked.
Here’s the code i used. So this calls all fields within a group, takes out any that doesn’t have a value, then puts an icon instead of a ‘yes or ‘no’ for the radio button, yet keeps all other fields loading like they normally do:
$group_ID = 6817;
$fields = array();
$fields = apply_filters('acf/field_group/get_fields', $fields, $group_ID);
if( $fields )
{
foreach( $fields as $field_name => $field )
{
$value = get_field( $field['name'] );
if ($field['choices']){
$map = array(
'yes' => '<i class="icon-ok"></i>',
'no' => '<i class="icon-remove"></i>'
);
$value = $map[ $value ];
} else {
}
if( $value ) {
echo '<li><b> ' . $field['label'] . '</b> ' . $value . '</li>';
}
}
Now to find an if statement to remove any radio buttons that have ‘no’ as their selection…
Would it be possible to use an if statement like:
if( $value == 'yes' ) {
//post the value
??
Or would it need to call an array first then use a $yes as the code?
Hi @aaronrobb
Perhaps instead of if ($field['choices']){, you could look at the type as suggested in your topic title like so:
if ($field['type'] == 'radio'){
As for the yes / no question, I’m completely lost as to what you are trying to achieve. Would you mind explaining the result you want?
Thanks

Definitely:
I have a number of radio button fields. They all have either ‘yes’ or ‘no’ as the value. Is there a way to say ‘if value = yes then *do whatever*’, meaning if the value is ‘no’ i dont want it to show at all.
DOes that make sense?
Hi @aaronrobb
of course, you could achieve this with an if statement like so:
if( get_field('field_name') == 'yes' )
{
// do this
}
else
{
// do that
}
Does that help?
