Conditional tag question

    Hi,

    I couldn’t find anything that quite related to this on the forums, and I am fairly limited in my coding knowledge. I’m looking to set up some sort of condition such that if the author of a post is “admin” then a custom field I have designated as “hpbyline” is displayed. Otherwise, the designated author is displayed.

    I have something close already, that works this way: If the author is “admin”, then NOTHING is displayed. How would I modify it so that
    <?php echo c2c_get_custom(‘hpbyline’); ?> is displayed instead?

    Thanks for the help! 

    <?php
                               $auth = get_the_author();
                           if ($auth != 'admin') :
                           ?>
                  <div class="byline">
                           By <?php if(function_exists('coauthors_posts_links'))
                                   coauthors_posts_links();
                           else
                              the_author_posts_link(); ?>
                  </div>

                  <div class="bytitle">
                            <?php echo c2c_get_custom('Bytitle'); ?>
                  </div>
                            <?php endif; ?>

    <div class="byline">
<?php
$auth = get_the_author();
if ($auth == 'admin') { ?>
  echo c2c_get_custom('hpbyline');
} else {
  the_author_posts_link();
?>
</div>

<div class="bytitle">
    <?php echo c2c_get_custom('Bytitle'); ?>
</div>

    correction:

    <div class="byline">
<?php
$auth = get_the_author();
if ($auth == 'admin') {
  echo c2c_get_custom('hpbyline');
} else {
  the_author_posts_link();
?>
</div>

<div class="bytitle">
    <?php echo c2c_get_custom('Bytitle'); ?>
</div>

    Thanks for the reply, stvwif, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Here’s what it spits back. 

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in /home1/thecolm1/public_html/wp-content/themes/revolution_news-21/archive.php on line 44

    I was also wondering whether it was possible to integrate the “Co-authors” plugin I have activated into your solution. Essentially, if the post author IS NOT “admin” go through these commands (below). There are a lot of if/else statements in this, and I don’t know how to properly code it.

    <?php if(function_exists('coauthors_posts_links'))
                                   coauthors_posts_links();
                           else
                              the_author_posts_link(); ?>

    Can anyone build on stvwif’s response?

    <?php
if (!$auth == 'admin') {
   if(function_exists('coauthors_posts_links')) {
      coauthors_posts_links();
   } else {
      the_author_posts_link();
   }
} ?>

    Here’s the final solution, after some messing around with code. I’ve tested and it works. Thanks for the help, stvwlf.

    <?php
$auth = get_the_author();
if ($auth == 'admin') {
  echo c2c_get_custom('hpbyline');
} else {
      if(function_exists('coauthors_posts_links')) {
           coauthors_posts_links();
      } else {
           the_author_posts_link();
     }
   }
?>
