How do I code to hide if field is empty in delimiter?
lets say you have,
Hi my age is [cb_age] and I live at home.
If the user doesn't fill that field in profile [cb_age] the sentence wont appear in the delimiter field in the cb tab.
I want to hide the sentence if [cb_age] field is empty

thanks

Use an IF substitution around your content. See the bottom of the substitution tutorial below for examples.

I see but I cant seem to hide the sentence if [cb_age] field is empty
I want If [cb_age]  field is empty in the sentence do not display sentence.

[cb:if user="#displayed" username="admin"]This is  [username] my age is #: [cb_age] .[/cb:if]
That works but it uses username="admin.

It hides if username is different but I dont want anything to do with username=
I want all users to see even PUBLIC.
I want it to display at all times except if the user hasn't filled in that particular field.
Can you see the function I need?

Thanks

If cb_date is a date or datetime field then it's unlikely to be empty. It'll be 0000-00-00 for date fields or 0000-00-00 00:00:00 for datetime fields if nothing is selected.

I understand date field but I need,
This is [username] my age is [cb_age]
I want If [cb_age] field is empty in the sentence do not display sentence.
its not a date field. its a text field.

What would be the code [cb:if statement that you suggested in an earlier post.

I want all users to see even PUBLIC. unless [cb_age] field is empty. then do not display sentence.
Thanks

You need to surround it with an IF substitution as suggested above. Example as follows.

[cb:if cb_age!=""]DISPLAYS IF AGE IS NOT EMPTY[/cb:if]

See the substitution tutorial below for further usage information.
