Checkbox field returns display value

[codente]

So if I use either pods_display or use a magic tag and try to display a checkbox field value only if it is checked, I get output of "No" if unchecked.

So I've tried

[wpbb-if post:pods_template template='custom' custom_template='{@indie}'] [wpbb post:pods_template template='custom' custom_template='{@indie}'][/wpbb-if]

and

[wpbb-if post:pods_display field='indie'][wpbb post:pods_display field='indie'][/wpbb-if]

And a combination of these 2 as well and I always get "No" when unchecked.

I need to think about it

• what should a user expect?
• No means the value is set so I can't just always return 0/empty
• hence wpbb-if would need a different behavior as wpbb

Workaround:
Use Pods shortcodes
[pods] [if indie] {@indie} [/if] [pods]

Note: Take a look at the ACF integration

Revisiting this as part of 1.3 Release - still no idea what the best approach would be - the underlying issue is that pods stores values of 0 or 1 but Outputs the corresponding "Labels" per default that is Yes or No

Easiest Fix - Use custom "Label" in Pods Configuration -

i see no real way to change anything about that behavior besides just setting No to an empty string - ideas?

The problem with the custom label for me when I was testing this, is that it can't be blank. So if I don't want anything to appear if it's no, I don't see a way to do it? I change it to be empty (the no label), save, update the Pod and go back in and it still says No.

Well, I guess a hack is to just enter a space.

i think this can be closed as with Themer 1.2 there are more "conditonal" options out there and until then using my example for the [pods] and [if] shortcode should work? @codente
