Reply To: Repeater w/ 4 Groups, cannot get field values

This is a solution for using GROUPS within a REPEATER. These are located in a Flexible Content field of Comparison – omit this IF statement if you’re not using within a Flexible Content field.

Specifically, I have a REPEATER named ‘comparison_rows’ containing 4 Groups
(The groups are named column_1, column_2, column_3 and column_4)

This is so the user can create a comparison table, with the fields for each cell grouped together. Each cell contains an image, text and specific CSS class (which I use ‘type’ to change)

Column_1 has these fields: text1, type1 and image1
Column_2 has these fields: text2, type2 and image2
and so on…

The fields in each group are:
text (text fields, go figure)
type (select fields, with a list of classes, used to change classes on the elements)
image (image fields returning the URL)

Here’s is what worked:

<?php elseif (get_row_layout() == 'comparison'): ?>
	<?php if(have_rows('comparison_rows')): ?>
		<?php while(have_rows('comparison_rows')): the_row(); ?>
			<?php
			$column_1 = get_sub_field('column_1'); // name of group 1
			$column_2 = get_sub_field('column_2'); // name of group 2.. and so on			$column_3 = get_sub_field('column_3');
			$column_4 = get_sub_field('column_4');
			?>						
				<div class="<?php echo $column_1['type1']; ?>">
					<?php if ($column_1['image1'] ): ?>
						<img src="<?php echo $column_1['image1']; ?>"  class="comparison-img"  />
					<?php endif; ?>
					<p><?php echo $column_1['text1']; ?></p>
				</div>
				
				<div class="<?php echo $column_2['type2']; ?>">
					<?php if ($column_2['image2'] ): ?>
						<img src="<?php echo $column_2['image2']; ?>"  class="comparison-img" />
					<?php endif; ?>
					<p><?php echo $column_2['text2']; ?></p>
				</div>
				
				<div class="<?php echo $column_3['type3']; ?>">
					<?php if ($column_3['image3'] ): ?>
						<img src="<?php echo $column_3['image3']; ?>"  class="comparison-img" />
					<?php endif; ?>								
					<p><?php echo $column_3['text3']; ?></p>
				</div>
				
				<div class="<?php echo $column_4['type4']; ?>">
					<?php if ($column_4['image4'] ): ?>
						<img src="<?php echo $column_4['image4']; ?>"  class="comparison-img" />
					<?php endif; ?>								
					<p><?php echo $column_4['text4']; ?></p>
				</div>
					
			<?php endwhile; ?> 
	<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Maybe this will help someone down the road.
