hide if custom field is empty

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to hide some code if the custom field of that item is empty.
Ex. if "telefoon_concert" is not present it should hide the code:

<span class="label">T:</span> <?php $key="telefoon_concert"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?><br />

This is the full code:



<div class="information">

				<span class="label">Aanvang:</span> <?php $key="aanvang_concert"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?><br />

				<span class="label">T:</span> <?php $key="telefoon_concert"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?><br />

				<span class="label">E:</span> <a href="mailto:<?php $key="email"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>"><?php $key="email"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?></a><br />

				<span class="label">W:</span> <a href="http://<?php $key="website"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>" target="new"><?php $key="website"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?></a>

			</div>

This should be applicable for the other custom fields also if they are empty

This question has been answered.

did you replace the $key to you meta key?

ex:

<?php if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'telefoon_concert', true) != "") : ?>

         <span class="label">T:</span> <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'telefoon_concert', true); ?><br />

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if (!empty($key)) { ?>



<span class="label">T:</span> <?php $key="telefoon_concert"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?><br />



<?php } ?>

It means if the $key is not empty, then show it.

<?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true) != "" ) {

<span class="label">T:</span><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?><br />

  Mine solution should work as I have declared the custom field name before checking it is empty or not.

Dave Holowiski says:

You'll need to set key first, before you use the if statements. Depending on which side of the div tag you put the php if statement you can have it not even show the div if it's empty.



<?php $key="aanvang_concert"; ?>

<?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true)) { ?>

<div class="information">



<span class="label">Aanvang:</span> <?php $key="aanvang_concert"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?><br />



				<span class="label">T:</span> <?php $key="telefoon_concert"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?><br />



				<span class="label">E:</span> <a href="mailto:<?php $key="email"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>"><?php $key="email"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?></a><br />



				<span class="label">W:</span> <a href="http://<?php $key="website"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>" target="new"><?php $key="website"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?></a>

John Cotton says:

Since you're using several custom fields, it would be more efficient to do this:



 $custom_fields = get_post_custom($post->ID);

 

 

 <div class="information">

 	<span class="label">Aanvang:</span><?php echo $custom_fields['aanvang_concert'][0]; ?><br />

 	 <?php if ( $custom_fields['telefoon_concert'][0] <> '' ) { ?>

	<span class="label">T:</span><?php echo $custom_fields['telefoon_concert'][0]; ?><br />

	<?php } ?>

	<span class="label">E:</span> <a href="mailto:<?php echo $custom_fields['email'][0]; ?>"><?php echo $custom_fields['email'][0]; ?></a><br />

	<span class="label">W:</span> <a href="http://<?php echo $custom_fields['website'][0]; ?>" target="new"><?php echo $custom_fields['website'][0]; ?></a>

</div>

..saves all those multiple database calls...
