How to write if statements with text boxes containing URLs

Hey,

We have a great tutorial that shows you how to hide a video player on a page if the video field for an item in a database is empty.

You could follow this tutorial and change it to suit your needs to show a hidden button if the field has a value.

Corvid Tutorial: Hiding a Video Player When There Is No Video to Play

It could end up looking something like this:

$w.onReady(() => {
    $w("#myDataset").onReady(() => {
 // Gets the current item properties and stores them in a variable called item
 const item = $w("#myDataset").getCurrentItem();
 // Checks if the current item has a value in the "url" field
 if (item.url) {
 // Shows the button if there is a value for "url"
            $w("#button").show();
        }
    });
});

You could also do closer to the tutorial and set the button to show on load and then only hide it if the URL field is empty.

Hope this helps!
