Search Results for 'remove comma'

Hi, I have read many answers about using “implode” to solve the issue about arrays and commas. Those where applied on a template file or code. But my case is that I am calling the value via [acf field="myfield"], which is inserted on a WordPress Post.

I was able to create and display the value, however, the outcome shows a comma right after each value. How can I remove it, or is there any other way to do it other than CheckBox? Here is an example of my output:

This is sentence one.,
This is sentence two.,
This is sentence three.

How can I remove those commas?

Thanks in advanced.

I want to remove the comma separator and make each name/object in the repeater field separated per line. Is that possible to do?

I would love to hear some thoughts on this one.

I have multiple blocks on which I have a custom field for adding width classes to the block (I don’t like Gutenbergs approach, I need my own). The selected class is appended to the blocks other regular css classes on the object.

On my ACF blocks I use get_block_wrapper_attributes() to get the classes and then add them to a wrapper div. Apparently these classes is also added to the preview wrapping div in admin which means I get a double effect of my css rules.

It removes the attribute classes on the inner div whenever clicking on the block but it’s back again whenever I reload the page.

Anyone got a clue on why this happens and how I can solve it (my soultion mught be bad, I’m of course open for other totally different solutions)? This worked fine, as far as I know, before the summer (just got back to work and discovered this after updating WP 6.2.2 -> 6.3. and ACF 6.1.7 -> 6.2.0).

Preferably I would not want these classes on the preview wrapping div, however they should in that case not be removed on the inner div when clicking on the preview.

My block code:

<?php
$custom_wrapper_classes = 'my-block';
include_once (get_stylesheet_directory() . '/includes/blocks/block-functions.php');

if (function_exists('hest_get_wrapper_attr')) :
	$wrapper_attributes = hest_get_wrapper_attr($block, $custom_wrapper_classes);
endif;

$posts = get_field('my_relationship_field');

if( $posts ): ?>

	<div <?php echo wp_kses_data($wrapper_attributes); ?>>	

		<div class="my-grid">
			<?php
			global $post;
			foreach( $posts as $post): 
				setup_postdata($post);?>

				 <!-- Code for outputting data -->
			<?php
			endforeach; ?>
		</div><!-- .my-grid -->

	</div><!-- .wrapper -->

	<?php
	wp_reset_postdata();

endif; ?>

hest_get_wrapper_attr() looks like this:

I’m using ACF Pro to create a Learning Management System. I’ve only recently started having problems. The main one that’s giving me the most trouble is that update_field() is not actually updating the field, despite me giving it accurate information and it working on a local environment (but not a WP Engine Dev environment).

Currently I’m allowing the user to create a new Course (or “Module”), based on a previous one, specifically for their class. They choose which students they’ll be including, the Module to use a template, then the Chapters (or “Documents”) from that Module.

Then, on the final screen, they review information, and the “Submit” button starts through a series of AJAX calls that sends the information to the server, sends back the pertinent info, then moves on to the next step.

I’m sending back the results from each delete_field() and update_field command. When replacing values, I am deleting the current value (with delete_field()) before using update_field(). This has helped some of my issues, but not all.

Here is the pertinent PHP code:

<?php
// I've made the CPT "Module" its own Class to contain its helper methods 
$module = new ACF_Module( intval($module_id) );

// I store the Documents (or "Chapters") for each Module (or "Course") as a 
//     repeater field containing the document_id and the order it should 
//     appear within the Module.
$document_ids = json_decode( $_POST['document_ids']);
$documents_field = [];
$count = 1;

foreach( $document_ids as $document_id ) {
    $documents_field[] = [
        'document_id' => intval($document_id),
        'order' => floatval($count),
    ];
    $count++;
}

// In JS, $documents_field_deleted = (bool) true
$documents_field_deleted = delete_field($module->documents_field, $module->ID);

// In JS, $documents_field_updated = (int) 625785,, or a similarly large number,
//     which does not correlate to ANY existing post ID or user ID, as the 
//     newest post_id in this example is 43113 and largest user ID is 1126
$documents_field_updated = update_field($module->documents_field, $documents_field, $module->ID);

I don’t know that this will matter, but just in case, here’s my JS doing the AJAX calls:

// Triggered when clicking submit button labelled "Next"
$('#submit').click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();

    // I'm just storing values in hidden <code><input></code> fields. Since these 
    //     classes are all taken on a job-site, where the student is 
    //     monitored, I'm not concerned as much for the user being able to 
    //     change these.
    var nextAction = '';
    actionStep = $('input[name="acf_action_step"]').val();

    var payload = {
        action: 'acf_action_function_name',
        action_step: actionStep,
        agency_id: parseInt($('input[name="acf_agency_id"').val()),
        module_id: parseInt($('input[name="acf_module"]').val())
    };

    switch (actionStep) {
        case 'module':
            payload.module_title = $('input[name="acf_module_title"]').val();
            nextAction = 'chapters';
            break;

            if( user_object.length == 1 ) {
                nextAction = 'finish';
            }

            payload.user_id = parseInt( user_object.shift() );

        success: function(response) {
            var response_object = JSON.parse(response);
            progress.append(response_object.message);

            if( response_object.new_module_id ) {
                $('input[name="acf_module"]').val( parseInt(response_object.new_module_id) );

Hi everyone,
I know that the problem has often been asked on the forum but despite having tried everything I do not understand how to remove the commas on the front when using checkboxes.
I am not a developer and I have trouble understanding how to do it.
Could someone help me? 🙂

Thanks in advance !

Hi there,

I’m sure this is quite trivial for your but I’m not a coder eh eh…

I’ve manage to achieve what I want but I think it can be improved.

I have a checkbox field, and I want to retrieve both label and value and want to separate them with a comma. This part is working fine. However, I want to remove the comma from the last item. I can add the comma in a span and then target the last span with CSS and remove it but I want it to be better.

This is what I came up with by reading the docs and searching other topics

<?php

$plans = get_field('plans');
if ( $plans) : ?>
<div>
<?php foreach( $plans as $plan ): ?>
       <a target="_blank" title="<?php echo $plan['label']; ?>" href="<?php echo $plan['value']; ?>"><?php echo $plan['label']; ?></a><span>,</span>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

How To remove commas when using checkboxes
I am trying to insert some custom tags for each product in my website. I use checkboxes in order to select tags and display on frontend. But the tags are displayed each item seperated with a comma (,). Can someone advice to how to remove this?

hello, I’m making a website for a real estate company, and I’m registering the leisure areas, such as soccer fields, gyms, pet places, these things … but when I look at the website, these elements are separated by commas and I want to remove these commas, is there any way other than by PHP? I don’t know anything about programming and I need to remove these commas. If the only solution is for PHP, send me the code already ready and the directory where I must insert this code.

Multiple Select Field – remove commas on elementor?

Hi!

I use this code with my checkbox, but would like to remove the commas.

`
<p class=”shop-link”><?php the_field(‘shop’); ?></p>
`
I’ve searched the forum and tried different codes without any luck.

For example, this didn’t work so I appreciate all help!

`
<p class=”shop-link”><?php $values = get_field(‘checkbox’);
if ($values) {
foreach ($values as $value) {
echo str_replace(‘, ‘, ‘<br />’, $value);
}
} the_field(‘shop’); ?></p>
`

Thank you,

I have an ACF repeater field field_5f71d4eaaf381 for email addresses and I want to output a comma separate list of the sub field values (measurement_extra_email_address) to create a $to for the WordPress mail function.

			$values			  = $_POST['acf'];
			$extra_recipients = $_POST['acf']['field_5f71d4eaaf381'];

			if ( $extra_recipients ) {
				$list = array();
				foreach( $extra_recipients as $extra_recipient ) {
					$list[] = $extra_recipient['measurement_extra_email_address'];
				}
				$to = implode(',', $list);
			}

I thought above code should/would do it but no email is being send so I guess the code is incorrect..?

Just a note: When I remove above part of the code and just try $to = '[email protected]'; an email is being send so the error should be in there…

Ok i have updated the code and now it works but somehow you need to have atleast one layout in flexible content for dragging to work.

Hello,

I have the same problem and I read all the posts about this, have you found a solution please ?
I’am using the checkox ACF and elementor to display it, and I only need to remove the comma between the values. I don’t want to execute JS to do this if it is possible.
Regards,

• In reply to ACF conditional logic hide output in a foreach loop

• August 9, 2022 at 4:48 am

I have solved several issues using the following:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

1 – ACF Field Setup

I have setup fields as FILED TYPE > LAYOUT > GROUP
https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/group/

This allows us to target the fields with a given ACF field group using the field group name.

        if( have_rows('group_name')){
            while(have_rows('group_name')){
                the_row();  

                if( $subfields = get_row()) {

I am outputting the custom post type, ACF data, to a table using a foreach loop.
The code is then displayed on our post using a [shortcode]

<?php

class CUSTOM_SHORTCODES {

			public static function register_shortcodes() {
				add_shortcode( 'custom_specs', array( __CLASS__, 'boat_specs' ) );
			}

public static function custom_specs($atts) {
  
		$out = '';
		$out .= '<div>';
		$out .= '<table>';
		$out .= '<tbody>';

		$subfields = get_row();
		$field = get_sub_field_object( $key );
		if( have_rows('specifications')){
			while(have_rows('specifications')){
				the_row();  
				if( $subfields = get_row()) {
					foreach ($subfields as $key => $value) {
						if ( !empty($value) ) {

							if(is_array($value)) {
							$value = @implode(', ', $value);
							}
							$field = get_sub_field_object($key);
								$out .= '<tr class="tb-row"><td class="tb-cell"><span class="acf-label">' . $field['label'] . '</span></td><td class="tb-cell"><span class="acf-value">' . $value . '</span></td></tr>';
						}
					}  
				}
			}
		}
		$out .= '</tbody></table></div>';

		return $out;
	}	
		
}
CUSTOM_SHORTCODES::register_shortcodes();

In this instance, the demo shortcode is [custom_specs]

In our foreach loop, we can check to see if a field has value. If it has no value i.e. null then the field does not show in our for each loop.

if ( !empty($value) ) {
OR
https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/hiding-empty-fields/

If the returned value is an array, we can convert the array to a comma list.

if(is_array($value)) {
$value = @implode(', ', $value);
}

Using this method, we can segment our ACF data into different foreach loop shortcodes for our use case scenario.

Specifications = [custom_specs]
Standard Features = [custom_feat]
Options = [custom_opt]

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
2 – Omit / Remove ACF field from the foreach loop.

The ‘price’ is recorded as an ACF field in our field group ‘specifications’.
However, the client does not want to show the ‘price’ field on the table on the front end.

How do we remove the ACF field ‘price’ from our ‘specifications’ foreach loop?

OPTION 1 – “SIMPLE”
Move the ACF field ‘price’ out of the current field group ‘specifications’ so it’s not returned in the shortcode loop [custom_specs].

If OPTION 1 does not fit your requirements, then try this alternative.

OPTION 2 – “ACF continue”
ACF Support has come back with the following. Interestingly, there is no mention of this in the current ACF documentation.

if( have_rows('specifications')){
            while(have_rows('specifications')){
                the_row();  

                if( $subfields = get_row()) {

                    foreach ($subfields as $key => $value) {

                            // Omit 'price' sub field - enter the field key
                            if ($key == 'field_123456789') { //skip this!
                                                continue;
                            }

Using the ACF field key and continue; we can now remove any ACF field inside our foreach loop.

Fantastic!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

3 – Removing Conditional Logic Parent > Child ACF fields from our foreach loop.

In this scenario, we have the PARENT FIELD1 and the CHILD FIELD2
The fields can be any ACF field Type: Select, Checkbox, Radio Button, Button Group.

PARENT FIELD1 (*Required? = Yes)
( ) ABC
( ) MNO
( ) XYZ > Show CHILD FIELD2

CHILD FIELD2 (*Required? = Yes + Allow Null? = Yes )
( ) Choice 1
( ) Choice 2
( ) Choice 3

We have conditional logic CHILD FIELD2
Show this field if <PARENT FIELD1> Value is equal to <XYZ>

Great!
If PARENT FIELD1 (•) XYZ is selected, we expect CHILD FIELD2 Choices to show.
If PARENT FIELD1 ( ) XYZ is de-selected, we can expect FIELD2 to hide.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Now, this is where it gets tricky.

As part of our strategy, we want to make it easy for the Client to update the data without making things worse.

The Client Selects <PARENT FIELD1>(•) XYZ
CHILD FIELD2 choices are shown.
All choices are null – they are empty.
The Client doesn’t make a selection from CHILD FIELD2 and updates the post.
We get a validation warning – CHILD FIELD2 is set to (*Required) so now we have to make a selection.
The Client selects CHILD FIELD2 (•) Choice 2
We validate, and the post is saved.

CHILD FIELD2 > Choice 2 is saved to the database.

We run our shortcode loop and CHILD FIELD2 is output into our table.

The Client decides, no, actually I didn’t want (•) XYZ, I really wanted ( ) ABC
The Client de-selects ( ) XYZ and selects (•) ABC
CHILD FIELD2 is hidden.

Even though <PARENT FIELD1>( )XYZ is not selected, our foreach loop is still outputting CHILD FIELD2 in the table.

Why ! – you ask?

In the database CHILD FIELD2 still has a saved value = Choice 2.
Our foreach loop condition is “only include fields that have value”.
So CHILD FIELD2 is still showing.

This stems from core ACF functionality – If the field is set to (*Required) ignore the null.
https://github.com/elliotcondon/acf/issues/591

How do we fix this?
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
METHOD 1 – On all CHILD FIELD(s) disable (*Required)
(*Required? = No)
Each CHILD FIELD2 choice can be toggled ON or OFF. Allowing us to de-select our previous selected option. The post can be validated and saved without having a choice selected. The Database value is cleared on Post Update.

But wait – this now requires the Client to understand that the CHILD FIELD2 needs to be un-selected before unselecting the PARENT FIELD1.

LOL
Sometimes the simplest of workflow solutions are the hardest for clients to remember.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
METHOD 2 – JQuery

Use jQuery to null the CHILD FIELD when the PARENT FIELD is un-selected.

This improves our Method 1 workflow, as the Client doesn’t have to remember to unselect the CHILD FIELD2. Our jQuery Function will handle this.

For this to work, I changed my CHILD FIELD2 field Type to a ‘select’.
When the Field Type ‘select’ is set to (Allow Null? = Yes) a null choice is added to the top of the dropdown select “-Select-“.
https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/select/
I used JQuery to select the first item on the CHILD FIELD2 ‘select’ list
when the Parent is de-selected.

In my WordPress Child theme functions.php file I am loading a JS file when is_admin()

define( 'CHILD_THEM_URI', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() );
define( 'CHILD_THEM_DIR', get_stylesheet_directory() );
// register scripts for the wp_admin section
add_action( 'admin_head', 'register_admin_scripts' );
function register_admin_scripts() {
    if ( is_admin() ) {
        wp_enqueue_script( 'admin_js', CHILD_THEM_URI . '/includes/admin.js', array( 'jquery' ) );

    }
}

In the JS File I have the following simple click function.

jQuery(document).ready (function ($) {

$('#parent_field_id').on('click',function () {
                if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
                    //alert('You have Checked it');
                } else {
                    //alert('You Un-Checked it');
                    // Set Conditional Select to null  - First Item on the list
                    $("#child_field_id").prop("selectedIndex", 0);

                }
            });
});

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

METHOD 3 – delete_field()

We could write a custom function if PARENT FIELD1 is de-selected then dynamically delete the conditional logic CHILD FIELD2 value from the database. Seems heavy to me!

delete_field()
delete_sub_field()

Someone with better PHP skills than me may wish to provide a solution.
I look forward to your responses.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

METHOD 4 – FUNCTION REQUEST

Have an additional toggle option on the ACF CHILD FIELD next to the (AllowNull? = Yes) to turn ON or OFF the required functionality.

If conditional logic PARENT Field is un-selected – return CHILD FIELD VALUES to the default Null State.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

I think thats covers everything for now.

Hopefully this helps someone else in the future

Hi,
Please see this for better understanding: https://infoobox.com/person/sunil-butolia

Currently user can fill their parents details in single text box but I want to create separate for mother and father and want to show in single line as mentioned in above link.

But what if someone only fills one details mother or father then how to remove ‘comma’.

Yes, if I remove the function below I don’t have any error :

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'my_pre_get_posts'); 
function my_pre_get_posts( $query ) {

	$meta_query = $query->get('meta_query');
	
	if( isset($_GET['coup_de_coeur']) )
	{
		$meta_query[] = array(
			'key' => 'coup_de_coeur',
			'value' => $_GET['coup_de_coeur'],
			'compare' => 'LIKE',
		);
	}
	$query->set('meta_query', $meta_query);
	return;

}

I checked and it seems like everything is correctly closed, no comma missing…
Unfortunatelu the critical error doesn’t provide any line of code so I’m a bit in the dark…
I tried to put WP Debug to true but no luck either.

Saw something funny happening to the quotes so used decimal code for quotes:

// Variables
$number_of_events = get_field( 'number_of_events' );
// print_r($number_of_events);
$terms = get_field('events_category');
// print_r($terms);
// $term_slugs = $terms()->slug;
$term_slugs ='';
foreach ( $terms as $term ):
    $term_slugs .= "＇" . esc_html( $term->slug ) . "＇" . ',';
    endforeach;
$term_slugs = substr($term_slugs, 0, -1); //Removes very last comma.
// print_r($term_slugs);
// local,virtual,

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'event',
    'posts_per_page' => $number_of_events,
    // 'event_category' => $term_slugs
    'tax_query' => [
        'taxonomy'         => 'event_category',
        'include_children' => false,
        'field'            => 'name',
        // 'terms'            => array_values($term_slugs),
    ],
);

still no filtering on event category..
