[SOLVED] Conditional field label in dropdown select

Hi and thanks for CB!

I need to change labels in a dropdown list according to the member’s gender.

I have created a field for member’s gender. I understood how i can use it conditionnaly on the parameters tab of my target field. This tutorial made it very clear. I also read this .

However I don’t understand how to use the "if" test to substitute specifically some labels of my dropdown list.

I’m sure my use case is quite common for languages like French. My dropdown is for the member’s occupation. I simply need the occupation to show in its masculine/feminine form according to the person’s gender. What’s the best way to achieve this ?

Once you've your select field with the values you want you need to add your substitutions to its profile value layout found by editing the field in CB > Field Management then under Parameters > Layouts. Below is an example of a substitution usage to adjust the display based off the fields value. For the purpose of an example i'll use "male" and "female" values and name the field "cb_gender".

[cb:if cb_gender="male"]I am Male[/cb:if]
[cb:if cb_gender="female"]I am Female[/cb:if]

What text you supply is entirely up to you. You can even use HTML if you like. So for example if I wanted an image instead I'd use the below.

[cb:if cb_gender="male"][/cb:if]
[cb:if cb_gender="female"][/cb:if]

Next if you need to alter a select field values based off their gender you can use the below for example.

[cb:if cb_gender="male" and cb_occupation="teacher"]
I am a Male Teacher
[/cb:if]

[cb:if cb_gender="female" and cb_occupation="teacher"]
I am a FemaleTeacher
[/cb:if]

See the bottom of the below substitution tutorial for further IF usage examples.

Thanks, that works.
