      I’m trying to create a conditional field for a settings page that will display a preview of the post chosen, but couldn’t find a way to add a condition for something != none.

      Here’s what I have:

         piklist('field', array(
     'type' => 'select'
     ,'field' => 'featured_post_id'
     ,'label' => 'Choose post to feature'
     ,'columns' => 6
     ,'choices' => array('none' => '-') + piklist(
       get_posts(
          array(
           'post_type' => 'post'
           ,'orderby' => 'post_date'
          )
          ,'objects'
        )
        ,array(
          'ID'
          ,'post_title'
        )
     )
   ));

   piklist('field', array(
     'type' => 'html'
     ,'label' => 'Post Selected'
     ,'field' => 'featured_post_preview'
     ,'description' => 'The selected post to be featured'
     ,'value' => '<img src="Post image"/><h2>Post Title</h2><p>Excerpt</p>' // How do I access these fields from the get_posts for the chosen featured_post_id?
     ,'conditions' => array(
       array(
         'field' => 'featured_post_id'
         ,'value' => !'none' // how do I conditionally display based on when the value is not equal to none?
       )
     )
   ));

      Thank you for any help you can provide!

      @Rachel-

      Check out the compare option for conditions, I think that’s what your looking for.

      Thanks,

      Great! That worked, now I just need to replace the image, title, and excerpt with the real thing.

       piklist('field', array(
     'type' => 'select'
     ,'field' => 'featured_post_id'
     ,'label' => 'Choose post to feature'
     ,'columns' => 6
     ,'choices' => array('none' => '-') + piklist(
       get_posts(
          array(
           'post_type' => 'post'
           ,'orderby' => 'post_date'
          )
          ,'objects'
        )
        ,array(
          'ID'
          ,'post_title'
        )
     )
   ));

   piklist('field', array(
     'type' => 'html'
     ,'label' => 'Post Selected'
     ,'field' => 'featured_post_preview'
     ,'description' => 'The selected post to be featured'
     ,'value' => '<img src="Post image"/><h2>Post Title</h2><p>Excerpt</p>'
     ,'conditions' => array(
       array(
         'field' => 'featured_post_id'
         ,'value' => 'none'
         ,'compare' => '!='
       )
     )
   ));

      How would I go about replacing them with the selected post title, image, and excerpt?

      @rcantor– I’m not sure I’m 100% clear on your request, so I hope this makes sense.

      After the user selects featured_post_id, they would need to save the page. Then you can use get_posts() to pull in the data you need.

        That makes sense. I was trying to see if part of the condition could get the post info once the select option changes.
