   Hi folks,

   I've got a conditional checking for the existence of a custom field called "hide_sub_navigation". Now you've probably got a good idea of what this custom field is meant to do, if the field exists hide the sub menu.

   Here's why it's strange (either that or I haven't fully woken up yet), going by my code it's working but the wrong way round if you get what I mean. Get a load of this:

   <?php if(post_custom('hide_sub_navigation')) {?>
   <ul id="sub_navigation">
   <?php
   // Code to load sub level navigation.
   ?>
   </ul>
   <?php
   } else {
   // do nothing
   }?>

   This code actually hides it when the field is true, whereas when I read the code it should actually show it when it's true.

   Can anybody see what's going on there? It appears to be contradicting itself.

   Cheers,
   Robert

   OK, it turns out that it's not actually working at all. It's ignoring the custom field and I'm really confused.

   Bugger it, I've just gone back to the old way of doing it and it's working as expected now.

   Enjoy

   <?php
   $hide_sub_navigation = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'hide_sub_navigation', true);
   if($hide_sub_navigation == FALSE) {
   ?>
   <ul id="sub_navigation">
   <?php
   // Code to load sub level navigation.
   ?>
   </ul>
   <?php
   } else {
   // do nothing
   }
   ?>

   I was having exactly the same problem too, but your final method fixed it just fine. Thanks!
