[Looked through previous related threads but couldn’t find an answer to my question.]<\/p>\n

I have a few Additional Fields in my events; they display in a custom-built Nivo Slider through WP_Query. <\/p>\n

The fields won’t always be used, and I’d only like them displayed when a value has been entered (e.g., there’s one for a Facebook link, one for a Buy Tickets link, etc.).<\/p>\n

I’d initially set the field as a “URL”. With a value of http:\/\/facebook.com, it outputs this HTML:<\/p>\n

<a target="self" href="http:\/\/facebook.com">http:\/\/facebook.com<\/a><\/code><\/p>\n

The good: If no value is entered, nothing is displayed. The bad is that it doesn’t allow me to style the link or add a class. I’d prefer an output of:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/facebook.com<\/code> <\/p>\n

… so I could wrap it in a <a><\/code> tag.<\/p>\n

So, I figured I’d just set the additional fields as Text. That gets me a plain value of http:\/\/facebook.com<\/code> spit out. Here’s the code I’m using:<\/p>\n

<a class="slider-facebook-link" href="<?php $additional_fields = tribe_get_custom_fields(); echo $additional_fields['Facebook Event Link'];?>">Facebook<\/a><\/code><\/p>\n

Is this the best way to achieve what I’d like? If so, how can I set a conditional to only display the field if it has a value?<\/p>\n

My attempt is:<\/p>\n

<?php if($additional_fields = tribe_get_custom_fields(['Facebook Event Link'])) { ?>\n <a class="slider-facebook-link" href="<?php $additional_fields = tribe_get_custom_fields(); echo $additional_fields['Facebook Event Link'];?>">Facebook<\/a>\n<?php } ?><\/code><\/pre>\n
