I am trying to display a message like "Sorry no information here" if a field is not found and if field is found, no message should appear. I am using the ACF plugin for displaying fields on the front end in a user profile.
This is my code:
<?php $user_ID = get_current_user_id();
$label = 'user_' . $user_ID;
the_field('Information', $label); ?>
If anyone has an idea, I have tried a lot of things but nothing helps. Thanks in advance. Nico
*Update: In fact, with ACF plugin for wordpress, I have created a field to display in user account in the backend of wordpress. So now I want to display this field (information) in the frontend account of the user.
If I need to put a message for my client, I put this message in the wordpress backend user account.
So in the frontend account, if I don't have put any message in this field (information), I want to display an automatic message like: "You don't have information yet"
If I put a message in the field (information) in the wordpress backend user account, I want the automatic message disappear and my message is displayed.
for now the message I put in field (information) in the backend account user is displayed correctly in the frontend user account *

Reset to default 3Are you just looking for a simple if then statement? Assuming that your fields are set up properly, then this code should work:
<?php
$user_ID = get_current_user_id();
$label = 'user_' . $user_ID;
if (get_field('Information', $label)) {
//there is data;
} else {
echo 'Sorry no information here';
}
?>
the_field() echos the field value, while get_field() returns the field value which can be checked using if statement to display a message. Documentation
<?php
$user_ID = get_current_user_id();
$label = 'user_' . $user_ID;
//the_field('Information', $label);
if (! get_field('Information', $label)) {
echo 'Sorry no information here';
}
?>
I finally find the solution, thanks you Rudtek, and thank you Qaisar Feroz for all of your time and code.
So this is the working code:
<?php
$user_ID = get_current_user_id();
$label = 'user_' . $user_ID;
if (get_field('information', $label)) {
//there is data;
echo get_field('galerie', $label);
} else {
echo 'Sorry no information here';
}
?>
