Hi guys,
I have a custom post type for entering teams (into gaming tournaments), and then using ACF I have customized this post type. One of the fields is to select which players (users) are in the team.
On the front end I am making a custom single-team.php and trying to display each user in the team. I’ve started with <p><?php the_field('select_players'); ?></p> as per the code examples, but it lists all the values associated with the user. I’ve dumped the values and they are:
array(11) { ["ID"]=> int(4) ["user_firstname"]=> string(5) "Chris" ["user_lastname"]=> string(8) "Burchell" ["nickname"]=> string(5) "thrax" ["user_nicename"]=> string(5) "thrax" ["display_name"]=> string(5) "thrax" ["user_email"]=> string(22) "[email protected]" ["user_url"]=> string(0) "" ["user_registered"]=> string(19) "2018-01-02 04:18:15" ["user_description"]=> string(55) "Dad, Gamer, Podcaster, and founder of playtopia.com.au!" ["user_avatar"]=> string(217) "thrax" }
Essentially I want to select each user that has been selected in the ‘selected_players’ ACF and then for each one only pull the [“nickname”] and display it… but I’m a little bit lost on how to put the code together.
Can anyone help? 🙂
$players = get_field('select_players');
if ($players) {
foreach ($players as $player) {
echo $player['nickname'],'<br />';
}
}
Thanks John.. that didn’t quite have the desired effect.. it’s actually listed the first character from each ‘Player’ attribute on a new line as below.

Any ideas?
I was guessing based on what you provided.
The ACF field will return an array of values, you can see what this array looks like by
$players = get_field('select_players');
echo '<pre>'; print_r($players); echo '</pre>';
You need to loop through the returned array and echo the parts that you want to display.
Thanks John, I can see the array but I’m having issues with the syntax to only display one value. I’ve got:
<?php $players = get_field('select_players');
foreach($players as $player) {
echo $player['nickname'];
} ?>
But I still get the same issue of only the 1st character of each value is echo’d:
CBtttt2D<
It’s not selecting the [‘nickname’] only, but it’s doing ‘something’ because without that it prints the whole array. I hope that makes sense.
That’s kinda odd, can you post what this actually outputs
echo '<pre>'; print_r($players); echo '</pre>';
This is the output @hube2
Array
(
[ID] => 4
[user_firstname] => Chris
[user_lastname] => Burchell
[nickname] => thrax
[user_nicename] => thrax
[display_name] => thrax
[user_email] => [email protected]
[user_url] =>
[user_registered] => 2018-01-02 04:18:15
[user_description] => Dad, Gamer, Podcaster, and founder of playtopia.com.au!
[user_avatar] => thrax
)
Hi @hube2 – I’ve solves the issue 😀 It was with the ACF itself and me derping 🙂 Thanks for your assistance. The code was right all along *blush*
I am having the same problem as the OP was originally having, and I can’t seem to fix it, despite reading this thread a thousand times. Also note that I’m using FacetWP to display the listing page, which currently looks like this: https://cl.ly/0P3k250O2W1I
The template in FacetWP currently contains this code: https://cl.ly/1x1U2B3Z1l1B
I fail to see any problem with the code… how did you fix it?
