query field setup

IF substitutions are described in detail at the bottom of the substitution tutorial below.

Example as follows.

Thank you for your reply Krileon

<div>[cb:userfield field="formatname" reason="list" /] [cb:if cb_gender="male"]M[/cb:if] [cb:if cb_gender="female"]F[/cb:if]</div>

returns nothing!

What returns what we need is

[cb:userfield field="formatname" reason="list" /] [cb:userfield field="gender" reason="list" /]

This returns...

[formatname] Male
[formatname] Female
...etc

We need to condition the Male and Female values so that when it is Male to sow just an M and not the whole Male. The cb online module is at the sidebar right position and we do not have much space there.

I've no idea what the name of your gender field is or its values. My example is just that an example. You need to adjust it to fit whatever field behavior you've setup. IF conditions are for example what you're wanting to do. If it really is named "gender" (not sure how you pulled this off? It should be prefixed with cb_) then the below for example would be what you'd use.

Thank you for your patience Krileon!

Actualy we are talking about The CB Online module / User-text field

Is there a chance that something like the following might work in CB Online module / User-text field?

[cb:if [cb:userfield field="cb_gender" reason="list" /]="Male"]M[/cb:if] [cb:if [cb:userfield field="cb_gender" reason="list" /]="Female"]F[/cb:if]

No, it will work fine there.

[cb:if [cb:userfield field="cb_gender" reason="list" /]="Male"]M[/cb:if] [cb:if [cb:userfield field="cb_gender" reason="list" /]="Female"]F[/cb:if]

That is not a valid substitution syntax. I've given you multiple examples above showing valid syntax as well as the tutorial showing the exact syntax. Based off this information you'd have the below.
