Hi everybody
I would like to display how many items are generated in the repeater field on my frontend. How I am gonna do this?
Thanks
I’ve found the solution:
$count = count(get_field("fieldname"));
How would you do a count of the field in a flexible content type?
Looks like $count = count(get_field("fieldname")); is always giving 1
Try this:
<?php echo count( get_field('repeater_field') ); ?>
Are talking about a repeater that’s in a flex field?
<?php echo count( get_sub_field('repeater_field') ); ?>
@deminoodle I’m having the same issue and I’ve tried all the suggestions but I still get 1 as result. Have you found a solution for it?
Having the same issue. Repeater within a flex field and <?php count( get_sub_field('repeater_field') ); ?> always returns 1
Anyone get past this?
I just did a quick test using this code for a nested repeater and it’s working fine for me outputting the number of rows added in each
// repeater
if (have_rows('repeater')) {
while (have_rows('repeater')) {
the_row();
// nested repeater
echo count(get_sub_field('nrepeater')),'<br />';
}
}
I can’t say what’s causing issues for anyone.
Is there any way to count the items in a repeater but to use that value before the while loop?
I am using it with foundation block grid and want to set the number of columns to the number of repeater items instead of hardcoding it:
<?php
// REPEATER NAME
if( have_rows('grid') ):
?>
<div class="grid-x grid-margin-x small-up-1 medium-up-3 large-up-3" data-equalizer>
<?php // REPEATER ROW NAME
while ( have_rows('grid') ) : the_row(); ?>
<!-- BLOCK GRID -->
<?php
$grid_image = get_sub_field('grid_image');
$caption_header = get_sub_field('caption_header');
$caption_content = get_sub_field('caption_content');
$small_size = 'square-small';
$medium_size = 'square-medium';
$small = $grid_image['sizes'][$small_size];
$medium = $grid_image['sizes'][$medium_size];
?>
<div class="cell">
<h5 data-equalizer-watch><?php echo $caption_header; ?></h5>
<img data-interchange="[<?php echo $small; ?>, small], [<?php echo $medium; ?>, medium], [<?php echo $medium; ?>, large], [<?php echo $medium; ?>, xlarge]" alt="<?php echo $grid_image['alt'] ?>" />
<?php echo $caption_content; ?>
</div>
<?php
endwhile; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
// REPEATER NAME
if( have_rows('grid') ):
$row_count = count(get_field('grid');
// OR if this is a sub field
$row_count = count(get_sub_field('grid');
To others who have troubles with repeater fields in flexible content
<?php //Flexible content
if( have_rows('builder') ) :
while ( have_rows('builder') ) : the_row();
if( get_row_layout() == 'shortcuts' ):
//Have to make the count before "have_rows"
//else it will return false
$count = count( get_sub_field('buttons') );
//Repeater field
if( have_rows('buttons') ) :
while ( have_rows('buttons') ) : the_row();
endwhile;
endif;
endif;
endwhile;
endif;
@martinkolle — THANK YOU. This was driving me bonkers (always getting 1 on a nested repeater within a flexible content field. This worked.
