Thank you John.
So, this technically solved the problem I posted, but a little context is in order.
The three repeaters are in different sections of the site, so they are relatively independent of each other. The content for the third repeater will always be on the options page. The content for the first repeater may or may not be. So, a function I have does something like this:
if(have_rows('custom_modules')){
while(have_rows('custom_modules')){
function_which_accesses_modules();
}
}
elseif (have_rows('custom_modules', 'options'))
{
while(have_rows('custom_modules', 'options'){
function_which_accesses_modules();
}
}
The modules are defined in seperate files. In theory, I could write in every single module something like
if($is_inside_options_page){
while(have_rows('social_icons', 'options'){
// Get social icons
}
} else {
while(have_rows('social_icons') {
// Get social icons
}
}
Or even wrap something like that inside a function, called something like have_options_rows() which runs have_rows() the correct way, depending on where the first have_rows() is pulling from. But I am creating the modules so that people who are only familiar with WordPress, ACF, & some of my options fields, but not my specific functions, can write modules.
