Question

I have a site that is using custom fields, and I want to either show the content for the field if the field is being used, and if the field is not being used per a Post then of course don’t show the contents of the fields.

Seems my code below is not correct, as it is showing the content in the else block when the Post is not using any of the custom fields.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the Post in question:

Here is the Post Edit showing that the field I am calling in my code are not being used (http://screencast.com/t/aBjt1drIw).

I have confirmed that when I do input the value for the custom field is it being outputted in the Post.

Here is the code I am using:

<?php
    $pdfurl = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pdf', true);
    $wordurl = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'word', true);
    if( !empty($pdf) || !empty($word) ){
    ?>
    <?php /* show nothing then */ } else { ?>
    <div id="post_downloads_box">
        <h3 class="single_related_footer">Dfownload Now</h3>
        <div id="post_downloads_box_left">
            <a target="_blank" href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pdf', true); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/post_pdf_icon.jpg" /></a>
        </div>
        <div id="post_downloads_box_right">
            <a target="_blank" href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'word', true); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/post_word_icon.jpg" /></a>
        </div>
    </div>
    <?php } ?>

Seems this is better:

<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("pdf"); if (isset($values[0])) {?>
    <div id="post_downloads_box">
        <h3 class="single_related_footer">Dfownload Now</h3>
        <div id="post_downloads_box_left">
            <a target="_blank" href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pdf', true); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/post_pdf_icon.jpg" /></a>
        </div>
        <div id="post_downloads_box_right">
            <a target="_blank" href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'word', true); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/post_word_icon.jpg" /></a>
        </div>
    </div>
    <?php } else {} ?>
