Hello everyone,
I have created a simple Snippet that works normally for a regular field and returns the number of photos in the gallery and looks like this:
function numberofphotos(){
$photos = count(get_field(‘gallery’));
return $photos;
}
However, as I already mentioned, it only works with a separate field. But when I use gallery field when creating FLEXIBLE FIELD it doesn’t work anymore.
To give an idea, I created a FLEXIBLE FIELD called “flexible_content” and in it I created a layout called “layout_gallery” and within that layout I create a “gallery” field.
But I don’t get the relevant count back using the count() function. It’s either 0 or 1, depending on how I’m trying to enter the field names into the count() function.
I tried writing a function like count(get_field(‘flexible_content_layout_gallery_gallery’));
or using a subfield
count(get_subfield(‘gallery’));
or
count(get_subfield(‘layout_gallery_gallery’));
unfortunately none of this returns the correct number of photos in the gallery.
Could someone advise me what I’m doing wrong?
Thank you very much.
