Count taxonomy rows in flexible content

I have created some flexible content and all is fine with one exception. I am having a hard time counting the number or repeater rows within one of the layouts. The same code pattern works fine outside of a flexible content field. I have tried both get_field('product_category_row') and get_sub_field('product_category_row')


if( have_rows('flexible_content') ): ?>

<?php
// loop through the rows of data
while ( have_rows('flexible_content') ) : the_row();

if( get_row_layout() == 'editor' ): ?>
<section class="flex-editor">
<?php the_sub_field('wysiwyg_editor'); ?>

</section>
<?php
elseif( get_row_layout() == 'product_categories' ):?>

<section class="flex-product-category-row">

<?php

if( have_rows('product_category_row') ):

$count= count(get_field('product_category_row'));

if ($count == 1 ){
$class = "full-width";
} elseif ( $count == 2 ) {
$class = "one-half";
} elseif ( $count == 3) {
$class = "one-third";
} elseif ( $count == 4) {
$class = "one-fourth";
} else {
$class = "one-fifth";
}

// loop through the rows of data
while ( have_rows('product_category_row') ) : the_row();

$terms= get_sub_field('product_category_select');

if( $terms ): ?>

<div class="<?php echo $class . ' '. $count; ?>">

<h2><?php echo $terms->name; ?></h2>

</div>
<?php endif;
endwhile; ?>

</section>
<?php

else :

// no rows found

endif;

endif;

endwhile;

else :

// no layouts found

endif;

?>

Hi @mantismamita

Just to be safe try this:

$repeater = get_field('product_category_row');
$count = count($repeater);

Hey, I am having this same problem.
I can count repeater rows normally. But if there is a repeater field inside the Flexible Content it won’t count.

I have tired “get_field” and “get_sub_field” using the code by @jonathan but doesn’t count.

Any luck @mantismamita ?
Thanks

Hi @fazedesigns

Could you post your entire code for this so I can have a look?

Hi @jonathan, this is what I have:

<?php if( have_rows('section') ):

    while ( have_rows('section') ) : the_row();
		
		// Repeater Block
        if ( get_row_layout() == 'content_block_repeater' ):
			
			// Repeater Field
			if( have_rows('repeater') ) :
			$counter = get_sub_field('repeater');
			//$counter = get_field('repeater');
			echo '<div class="repeater_block">';
				// Loop
				while ( have_rows('repeater') ) : the_row();
					$h3 = get_sub_field('repeater_h3');
					$em = get_sub_field('repeater_em');
					$count = count( $counter );
					if ( $count == 3 ) {
						$span = 'span33';
					} elseif ( $count == 2 ) {
						$span = 'span50';
					} else {
						$span = 'span100';
					}
					// Output
					echo '<div class="'. $span .'">';
						echo '<h3>'. $h3 .'</h3>';
						echo '<em>'. $em .'</em>';
					echo '</div>';
					// End Output
				endwhile;
				// End Loop
			echo '</div>';
			endif;
		
		// Text Block
        elseif ( get_row_layout() == 'content_block_text' ): 
        
        	// get_template_part( '/_content/text' );
        
        else :
        	
        	// No Content
 
        endif;
 
    endwhile;
 
endif; ?>

Hi @jonathan, I found the solution.
Im not sure why this would break the count();.
Do you know why?

This is what I had:

if ( have_rows('repeater') ) :
	$counter = get_sub_field('repeater');
	// $counter = get_field('repeater'); if not in Flexible Content
	while ( have_rows('repeater') ) : the_row();
		$count = count( $counter );
		echo $count;
		// HTML goes here
	endwhile;
endif;

And this is what works:

$counter = get_sub_field('repeater');
// $counter = get_field('repeater'); if not in Flexible Content
if ( have_rows('repeater') ) :
	while ( have_rows('repeater') ) : the_row();
		$count = count( $counter );
		echo $count;
		// HTML goes here
	endwhile;
endif;
