Sorry for the lack of detail Elliot and thanks for the reply. This isn’t an ACF issue. It’s more of a general PHP question and I was hoping to tap the ACF community. If that sort of a question doesn’t belong here let me know and I can post elsewhere. That being said…
The code above works. I just know there’s a better way to do it and I couldn’t figure it out. The 3 sets of “column” field names (examples: cb_3_col_main_header, cb_3_col_1_link) are templated so to speak with the second number going from 1-3 within each column set. I should have done this in the first place but below I’ve simplified the code where you can see how the sub field names increment 1-3 within each <div> .columns set. Is there a way to do this with a loop, array(s) and a counter so the _1_, _2_, _3_ portions of the field names are all dynamic.
Wow this feels like I’m not doing a good job of explaining. 😐 Hopefully the simplified code below is much easier in terms of demonstrating my question.
<?php if(get_row_layout() == '3_column_layout'): ?>
<div class="row">
<div class="small-12 large-4 columns">
<dl>
<dt><?php the_sub_field('cb_3_col_1_header'); ?></dt>
<dd><?php the_sub_field('cb_3_col_1_copy'); ?></dd>
<dd><?php the_sub_field('cb_3_col_1_link'); ?></dd>
</dl>
</div>
<div class="small-12 large-4 columns">
<dl>
<dt><?php the_sub_field('cb_3_col_2_header'); ?></dt>
<dd><?php the_sub_field('cb_3_col_2_copy'); ?></dd>
<dd><?php the_sub_field('cb_3_col_2_link'); ?></dd>
</dl>
</div>
<div class="small-12 large-4 columns">
<dl>
<dt><?php the_sub_field('cb_3_col_3_header'); ?></dt>
<dd><?php the_sub_field('cb_3_col_3_copy'); ?></dd>
<dd><?php the_sub_field('cb_3_col_3_link'); ?></dd>
</dl>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
