Thank you very much James. With your help I figured it out. 😀
I created a True/False field and called it “view_profile”, and added this block of code into my array in the acf.php file:
array (
'key' => 'field_57467a65db91f',
'label' => 'View Profile',
'name' => 'view_profile',
'type' => 'true_false',
'message' => 'Show biography?',
'default_value' => 0,
),
This displays the checkbox option in the backend.
Finally, I used conditional statements to determine if a user wants to link a profile or not in my archive-employee.php.
<div class="entry-content">
<?php
while($employee->have_posts())
{
$employee->the_post();
?>
<div class="team-roster">
<?php if ( get_field( 'view_profile' ) ): ?>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($id); ?>">
<div class="title"><?php echo get_field('name', $id); ?></div>
<div class="subtitle"><?php echo get_field('job_title', $id); ?></div>
<div class="button">View Profile</div>
</a>
<?php else : ?>
<a href="#">
<div class="title"><?php echo get_field('name', $id); ?></div>
<div class="subtitle"><?php echo get_field('job_title', $id); ?></div>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>
<img src="<?php echo get_field('employee_featured_image', $id); ?>" alt="<?php echo the_title(); ?>" />
<img src="<?php echo get_field('employee_featured_image_hover' ,$id); ?>" alt="<?php echo the_title(); ?>" />
</div>
<?php
}
?>
</div>
Awesome!
