Hi elliot,
thanks for your fast reply as usual 😉 .
Your mention of ‘either a post or ID’ hinted me to the right way. What I did so far: use a repeater field and let the user add a row for each related posts with a select. It was a post objects subfield which I thought to be the right one to go. Now I swiped the repeater field and took a relation field – which is much more sexy since you can see and rearrange your posts in a list. I finally got it working this way!
My code, if anyone interested:
<?php while(the_flexible_field('factsheet')): ?>
<?php if( get_row_layout() == 'factsheet' ): ?>
<?php $posts = get_sub_field('related_posts');
if( $posts ): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( $posts as $post):
setup_postdata($post); ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?></a>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Thanks again, and good to know you’re around ;).
Best

Edit: cleaned the code for it to display properly.
