How can I use CB:IF to check for NULL value in a field?

I have a field that is set to 'NULL' if it's not set.
I would like to show a specific text when it's null.
So in the Field I've entered a CB:IF under Parameters in the "Profile Value Layout".

I've tried using:
[cb:if cb_type=NULL]My Text[/cb:if]
[cb:if cb_type=""]My Text[/cb:if]
[cb:if cb_type="-"]My Text[/cb:if]
But I don't see it getting 'replaced', I just see the '-' that is set in the configuration for Empty Field Text.

[cb:if FIELD_NAME=""]NULL[/cb:if] will match empty string and NULL. Have confirmed this working fine in Custom HTML field.

There does appear to be an issue with content plugins being parsed before substitutions in field layouts though, which could be causing your IF substitution working on the viewing user instead of displayed. If you've CB Content Bot installed try disabling it and seeing if your condition then works. Am fixing the execution order for next nightly.

Where do I then place the text I want it to show instead of the empty string?

Where NULL is. If you want to display something if a field is empty you'd use the below.

[cb:if FIELD_NAME=""]This field is empty![/cb:if]

If you're doing it with a layout then the below would probably be best.

[cb:if FIELD_NAME=""]This field is empty![/cb:if]
[cb:if FIELD_NAME!=""][value][/cb:if]

Note latest CB 2.x nightly and CB Content Bot 4.0.1 solves the execution order bug mentioned above which could be affecting layouts.

Hi Kyle

I did exactly that in the Field Management, under "Profile Value Layout" (it's just when viewing the profile I want it changed), I entered '[cb:if cb_type=""]Ikke medlem[/cb:if]' (which should do that if the field is empty, it should write 'not a member').

The reason is that when a new user is created, and he/she is not yet a member of the club, the field is empty (ie. no member status).
I would like the field to show the text, instead of the 'empty field'.

But I can't make it work.
The field is a single-select dropdown field, if I look in the DB, it is shown as NULL.
Btw. the field is also Ajax editable (if that makes any difference).

Please ensure you've installed CB Content Bot 4.0.1 if CB Content Bot is installed. Also ensure you've latest CB 2.x nightly. There's a known bug where the layout substitution usage could become based off the viewing user and not the displayed, which is fixed by those 2 releases.
