Hello,

I´m trying to build a solution with ACF and need some advise if this solution is possible to build.

I have two custom fields, 1: Custom Format and 2: Custom infotext

1 = Custom format have two options.
2 = Custom infotext is just a textbox that the user can write in

I know how to show the custom infotext value by using get_field and the_field.

                   <?php if( get_field ('custom_infotext') ) : ?>
                    <p class="custominfo">
                    <?php the_field('custom_infotext'); ?>
                    </p>
                    <?php endif; ?>

But I want this custom infotext to only by visible if the custom format have the value option2.

How should I do? Can I wrap the code above in a new if-loop or should I use something else?

THANKS!

if you talk about frontend, than place your code inside a if-loop like that:

<?php 
$custom_format = get_field('custom_format');
if($custom_format == "option2"){
 if( get_field ('custom_infotext') ) : ?>;
  <p class="custominfo">
   <?php the_field('custom_infotext'); ?>
  </p>
 <?php endif; 
}?>

replace custom_format with your fieldname, and option2 with the value of option2
