Output repeater field with radio button sub fields

  • I have tried working with the various support code examples to output one of my custom fields at the front end of my website, but I can’t figure out the solution.

    I have setup a few custom fields that have a repeater field type and the sub fields are radio buttons. See the image – this is how users of the site fill out the custom field in the WordPress Dashboard. The custom fields are part of a survey.

    Custom field repeater_radio

    Q1: How do I loop through and output all the ‘labels’ of each sub field within a repeater field, and the ‘choice’ of each radio sub field in the front end of my website.

    Q2: How can I output the repeater rows based on the user’s choice – ascending or descending? The radio buttons act as a ranking scale from 1 to 5.

    Any advice on how to achieve these two options is much appreciated.

  • Hi @alibidesigns

    Q1: In order to get the labels you’d have to also fetch the field object.
    this can be done with get_field_object(). It will be an array containing the field label as well as the choices with key => value pairs (and more).

    Q2: I believe what you want is to sort the repeater field based on the radio fields. Have a look at this: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to-sorting-a-repeater-field/

    That might be enough to get you going!

  • Hi Jonathon, Thank you for your assistance.

    To clarify:
    Part 1
    I have put the functions part of the code (from here: sort a repeater field) in my functions.php file. I have replaced the field key with my relevant custom field key.

    The part of this function that I don’t understand is this part:
    add_filter('acf/load_value/name=scores', 'my_acf_load_value', 10, 3);
    What do I need to change here, and to what?
    And, do I repeat this function when I have more than one custom field to sort?

    Part 2
    Then I have put the php code within my single_custom_post_type.php file and replaced ‘repeater’ with my same field key as used in the function.

    <?php if( have_rows('field_5650dfe9c5250') ): ?>
    
    	<ul>
    
    	<?php while( have_rows('field_5650dfe9c5250') ): the_row(); ?>
    
    		<li><?php the_sub_field('id'); ?>. <?php the_sub_field('name'); ?></li>
    
    	<?php endwhile; ?>
    
    	</ul>
    
    <?php endif; ?>

    I am not getting any result?
    Where am I going wrong?
