I have a website that displays books information.
I want to add Schema.org microdata markup to the posts containing books.
I created a set of custom fields using the plugin called WP Types so I can add the required markup values in these fields.
Then I created a function to show the information table in the single.php.
My problem is that not every book has the same amount of microdata. (for example, some books are not translated, so they don't have a translator). This leads to a poor outcome as the posts will display tables with lots of unfilled data.
I want to modify the function to say this logic:
if this custom field has value, echo this row
then I can apply this modification to each row, so the end results will be a meaningful table each post, that contains only the available data.
Is there a way to apply the logic above in my code?
Here is the code I created:
/* Schema.Org Book Microdata For Books Page Template */
function add_schema_book_microdata () {
if ( in_category('downloads') ) {
echo '<div class="schema_book_microdata_container">';
echo '<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Book">';
echo '<h3>'; echo 'Book Identification Card'; echo '</h3>';
echo '<table class="schema_book_microdata_table">';
echo '<tr>';
echo '<th class="schema-book-table-initial-column">'; echo 'Data'; echo '</th>';
echo '<th>';echo 'Details'; echo '</th>';
echo '</tr>';
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>'; echo'Author'; echo '</td>';
