Reply To: Post object inside a repeater field

Turns out – as usual with me – it was much simpler. I used a Woo shortcode that displays products (the way i wanted, with all the product details) and put it inside the loop that gets the PostID for the three products, set the PostID to a var, and it is almost working.

It is working, except i need to adjust the loops syntax somehow:

 // check if the repeater field has rows of data
    if( have_rows('products_to_display_repeater') ):

        // loop through the rows of data
        while ( have_rows('products_to_display_repeater') ) : the_row();

            // vars
            $product_id = get_sub_field('product_complete_the_look');
            
            // get IDs from vars for Woo shortcode
            echo do_shortcode("[products ids='$product_id' limit='1' columns='1' orderby='date' order='desc']");

            // display a sub field value
            ?> 
            <?php the_sub_field('product_complete_the_look'); ?>
            <br>
            <?php 

        endwhile;

    else :

        // no rows found

    endif;

The above works but because of echo do_shortcode("[products ids='$product_id' limit='1' columns='1' orderby='date' order='desc']"); I get three products each as 1 column and 1 row. I need one row with three columns.

So the shortcode is being looped and called three times, once for each PostID. I need to only call the shortcode once and loop only the '$product_id' within the shortcode, thereby have three PostIds in the shortcode. Oh and they need to be comma separated.

If anyone has input that’s great but I might figure it out…
