php if, elseif code

Hi guys,

Im working on a website with multiple signupforms, depending on the wp-post the user is on, I want to display different signup forms. Im using bootstrap with wordpress and setup the following code in my footer.php:

            <div class="modal fade" id="inschrijfformulier">
          <div class="modal-dialog">
            <div class="modal-content">
              <div class="modal-header">
                <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>
                <h2 style="text-align:center;" class="modal-title">Schrijf u hier in</h2>
              </div>
              <div class="modal-body">

                <?php
                    if ($is_single( 'de-franse-keuken' ) ) {
                      echo do_shortcode("[ninja_forms_display_form id=3]");
                    } 

                    elseif ($is_single( 'de-mediterraanse-keuken' ) ) {
                      echo do_shortcode("[ninja_forms_display_form id=4]");
                    } 

                    else {
                      echo "error!";
                    }
                ?>

              </div>
              <div class="modal-footer">
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Sluiten</button>
              </div>
            </div><!-- /.modal-content -->
          </div><!-- /.modal-dialog -->
        </div><!-- /.modal -->

I included only 2 forms so far, but need to work to ten different forms. So the situation is: one modal called "#inschrijfformulier" and the body content is decided by the wp-post the user is currently on! I use this button on each post that requires the form:

            <button class="btn btn-success btn-fullwidth" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#inschrijfformulier">Schrijf U nu in</button>

But it gives me a empty modal window when the button is clicked, what am I missing?

Thanks!

First, try removing the $ from the is_single() function. See if that works.

I'm guessing the modal is empty because $post is empty at the time it's called.

Try adding the WP_Query object in each page to set your $post to the current page for each post when it's called. Make sure you reset your post data. I hope this helps.

<?php

  // query for the page
  $your_query = new WP_Query( 'pagename=your_page_goes_here' ); 

  // "loop" through query (even though it's just one page) ?>
  <?php while ( $your_query->have_posts() ) : $your_query->the_post(); ?>

     Enter code here

<?php endwhile; 
// reset post data (important!)
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

Thanks for your help! can you please elaborate a little bit more? Im do not understand where to add this code, should this be placed in the "if" statement for each if?

Thanks!
