Advanced Custom Fields from Category - IF statement

Question

Please if someone could help ill be very greatful.

I know how to use the if statement using Advanced Custom Fields on posts - but this time I want to pull the value from the Advanced Custom Fields in the category, I have managed to put this code together - but can't work out how to make it an if statement.

This code pulls the value from the category custom field - how can i convert it to if value empty do "X" if true do "Z"

<?php
    $queried_object = get_queried_object();
    $taxonomy       = $queried_object->taxonomy;
    $term_id        = $queried_object->term_id;
    the_field( 'logo_src', $taxonomy . '_' . $term_id );
?>

My failed attempt:

<?php
    $queried_object = get_queried_object();
    $taxonomy       = $queried_object->taxonomy;
    $term_id        = $queried_object->term_id;
    if ( get_field('logo_src', 'true', $taxonomy . '_' . $term_id ) ) {
?>
  do x 
<?php } else { ?>
   do z 
<?php } ?>

Thanks in advance!

You're on the right track.

However your parameters for get_field() are incorrect in your example. The second value should be an ID or false (true is not valid):

// Incorrect. Uses 'true' as second parameter:
if ( get_field('logo_src', 'true', $taxonomy . '_' . $term_id ) ) {

Try this. Use get_field() to return the value of the field in your conditional statement argument. Use the_field() to print the value of the field:

$queried_object = get_queried_object();
$taxonomy       = $queried_object->taxonomy;
$term_id        = $queried_object->term_id;

if ( get_field( 'logo_src', $taxonomy . '_' . $term_id ) )
{
    the_field( 'logo_src', $taxonomy . '_' . $term_id );
}
else
{
    echo 'Nope.';
}
