For 1) and 2)
Are you restricted on old browser supports? cause i’d 100% suggest you just use the css columns to do that layout. it’s supported on all browser last 2 latest version now.
http://caniuse.com/#search=column
Example:
<ul class="items">
<?php while (have_rows('appetizers')): the_row(); ?>
<li>
<h4><?php the_sub_field('item'); ?></h4>
<p><?php the_sub_field('desc'); ?>$<?php the_sub_field('price'); ?></p>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<style>
.items {
column-count: 2;
column-gap: 20px;
}
</style>
If you can’t or don’t wanna use the css way, this is a cleaner way to split them:
<?php
// get repeater values as array
$appetizers = get_field('appetizers');
// calculate how many items first
$items_count = count($appetizers);
// calculate how much half is, round up
$items_half = ceil($items_count / 2);
// split the repeater
$appetizers_chunks = array_chunk($appetizers, $items_half);
?>
<div class="section">
<div class="secthead"><?php the_title( '<h2>', '</h2>' ); ?></div>
<?php foreach ($appetizers_chunks as $chunk): ?>
<div class="items">
<ul>
<?php foreach ($chunk as $value): ?>
<li>
<h4><?php echo $value['item']; ?></h4>
<p><?php echo $value['desc']; ?> $<?php echo $value['price']; ?></p>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
3) i’m not sure if i understand the question. Is your repeater field not already set on the category edit? where’s the repeater field at?
Cheers
