Hi I’m having a problem that i am curious if it is possible with repeater field. please see illustration below. Basically my maximum item should be 6 items so
if i have input only 2 items the output should be:
[1] [2]
then if i have 3 only:
[1] [3]
[2]
if i have 4 only:
[1] [3]
[2] [4]
if 5 only:
[1] [4]
[2] [5]
[3]
and finally if i have 6 items which is the maximum, this should display:
[1] [4]
[2] [5]
[3] [6]
any help for them to display inside table with 2 columns? Please help me. thank you
You’re not going to be able to do this without some extremely complex coding.
Is there a reason that you’re using a table?
If a table is the only way you can do this then I would suggest putting each row of the repeater into html and then output that html in the order you want based on the number of rows.
$row_html = array();
while(have_rows('repeater')) {
the_row();
$index = get_row_index();
$row_html[$index] = '<div>';
$row_html[$index] .= get_sub_field('my_sub_field');
$row_html[$index] .= '</div>';
}
You’ll still need some creative logic, but at least you won’t be trying to do it inside of the loop.
yes because i am creating a generator for newsletter. i hope there were possible solutions
hi I’m wondering why code won’t work when I put else if? I’m planning to do it manually since it will only have maximum of 6 items
<?php $row_html = array();
while(have_rows('repeater')) {
the_row();
$index = get_row_index();
$row_html[$index] = '<div>';
$row_html[$index] .= get_sub_field('repeater_sub');
$row_html[$index] .= '</div>';
} ?>
<?php if (($row_html[$index])<=2) {
echo 'test 2 items';
} else if (($row_html[$index])<=3) {
echo 'test 3 items';
} else {
echo 'Test';
} ?>
please help. Thank you
Your if/else should look something like this
if (count($row_html) <= 2) {
echo 'test 2 items';
} elseif (count($row_html) <= 3) {
echo 'test 3 items';
} else {
echo 'test';
}
you could make that simpler to type and read by doing
$count = count($row_html);
if ($count <= 2) {
echo 'test 2 items';
} elseif ($count <= 3) {
echo 'test 3 items';
} else {
echo 'test';
}
you can simplify it more by using a switch statement which is easier to read when you have a lot of conditions than an if/elseif statement
switch (count($row_html) {
case 1:
echo '1 block';
break;
case 2:
echo '2 blocks';
break;
case 3:
echo '3 blocks';
break;
case 4:
echo '4 blocks';
break;
case 5:
echo '5 blocks';
break;
case 6:
echo '6 blocks';
break;
}
Hi thank you. but I’m wondering, even if I have more than 2 items , the output is still 2? even though I set a condition if there are 3 items but still at your example it echoed 2. also switch case seem not working for count function. I don’t know but I really tried count function for repeater but doesn’t show correct output. it always shows “1” even if i have multiple rows. please help me. More important is that it counts the repeater rows then get each item that will put manually. thanks
Hi Finally figured it out. I realized that mistyped repeater sub name. Anyway since it’s only 6 items, for now this is my solution. Thank you for helping to start!
<?php
$row_html = array();
while(have_rows('repeater')) {
the_row();
$index = get_row_index();
$row_html[$index] = get_sub_field('repeatersub');
}
$count = count($row_html);
if($count==1) {
echo 'Im 1';
}
elseif($count==2){
echo 'Im 2';
echo $row_html[2];
echo $row_html[1];
}
elseif($count==3){
echo 'Im 3';
echo $row_html[3];
echo $row_html[1];
echo $row_html[2];
}
elseif($count==4){
echo 'Im 4';
echo $row_html[4];
echo $row_html[1];
echo $row_html[2];
echo $row_html[3];
}
elseif($count==5){
echo 'Im 5';
echo $row_html[2];
echo $row_html[4];
echo $row_html[3];
echo $row_html[5];
echo $row_html[1];
}
elseif($count==6){
echo 'Im 6';
echo $row_html[5];
echo $row_html[6];
echo $row_html[3];
echo $row_html[2];
echo $row_html[1];
echo $row_html[4];
}
else {
echo 'None';
}
?>
