Conditional logic for repeatable fields

Hi all,

I am using ACF for some straightforward frontend output, all I am try to do is output a series of clients, some have case studies on my site, some don’t. At the minute, my code always displays a link, even if a case study doesn’t exist. I just need some help in adding some conditional logic so that the link doesn’t show if there isn’t a case study.

<?php if(get_field('clients')): ?>
			<div class="col clients boxed">
					<h3>Clients</h3>
					<ul id="client-list">
				<?php while(has_sub_field('clients')): ?>
						<li>
							<a href="<?php the_sub_field('case_study_page'); ?>">
							<?php the_sub_field('client_name'); ?>
							</a>
						</li>
				<?php endwhile; ?>
					</ul>
			</div>
			<?php endif; ?>

Appreciate any help.

Thanks

Hi @iamjustoneman

A simple if statement will work like so:

<?php if(get_field('clients')): ?>
<div class="col clients boxed">
		<h3>Clients</h3>
		<ul id="client-list">
	<?php while(has_sub_field('clients')): ?>
			<li>
				<?php if( get_sub_field('case_study_page'); ): ?>
					<a href="<?php the_sub_field('case_study_page'); ?>">
						<?php the_sub_field('client_name'); ?>
					</a>
				<?php else: ?>
					<?php the_sub_field('client_name'); ?>
				<?php endif; ?>
			</li>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
		</ul>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

I’m trying to do something fairly similar by adding a linked pdf resume to my heading if one is present, but I can’t get it to work. I tried building my function off of the simple if statement provided above. Here is the function I have written. I feel like I’ve looked over the following function so many times and I cannot figure out why it’s breaking.

<?php 
function sa_staffprof_acfinject() { 
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); 

		if(have_rows('staff_profile')): while(have_rows('staff_profile')) : the_row(); ?>
    	<article class="staff-row">
    		<div class="staff-details">
                <?php if( get_sub_field('resume'); ): ?>
                    <a href="<?php the_sub_field('resume'); ?>">
                        <h1><?php the_sub_field('staff_name'); ?></h1>
                    </a>
                <?php else: ?>
                    <h1><?php the_sub_field('staff_name'); ?></h1>
                <?php endif; ?>
    			<h3><?php the_sub_field('staff_credits'); ?> | <span class="title-role"><?php the_sub_field('job_role'); ?></span></h3>
    			<p><?php the_sub_field('staff_bio'); ?></p>
                
    		</div>
    	</article>
    	<?php
    	endwhile;

    	endif; 

    	endwhile;
}

remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'sa_staffprof_acfinject' );

?>
