Need some help with "else"

[Divvy]

I need some little help, if someone can help me I really appreciate

I have this code:

<?php echo $post_external_link = (get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true))?'<a href="'.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true).'" '.$nofollow_tag.'>'.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true).'</a>':'#'; ?>

I want to display:

'.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true).'

Or else:

'.get_post_meta($post->ID, 'domaintag', true).'

How I put in the code?
I tried this but didn't worked:

'.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true).' } else { '.get_post_meta($post->ID, 'domaintag', true).'

Can someone help me? Thanks!

Only shows domaintag...

Your code doesn't makes much sense, but I think this is mainly a syntax problem.

Try this:

<?php
    if (get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true)) {
        echo '<a href="'.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true).'" '.$nofollow_tag.'>';
    } else if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'domaintag', true)) {
        echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'domaintag', true);
    }
?>

Hey buddy, thank you for your reply and for trying to help me


I tried that but didnt worked....

I also tried the following code:

<?php echo $post_external_link = (get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true))?'<a href="'.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true).'" '.$nofollow_tag.'>'.get_post_meta($post->ID, 'domaintag', true).'</a>':'<a href="'.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true).'" '.$nofollow_tag.'>'.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true).'</a>'; ?>

Only the first <a> is working... after the : is not working... but if I switch 2nd <a> with the first, worked fine :/
What could be?

Ok, I'm going to explain better what I want to do, I think that is better for a better understanding


With this code:

<?php echo $post_external_link = (get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true))?'<a href="'.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true).'" '.$nofollow_tag.'>'.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true).'</a>':'#'; ?>

Appears like this:

And with this code:

<?php echo $post_external_link = (get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true))?'<a href="'.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true).'" '.$nofollow_tag.'>'.get_post_meta($post->ID, 'domaintag', true).'</a>':'#'; ?>

Appears like this:

I want to show always the 1st code get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'post_external_link',true)
But If custom field is added, I want to appear custom field first: get_post_meta($post->ID, 'domaintag', true)

Can you help me?
