I’m using a Repeater Field, and am trying to retrieve the label from one of the sub fields instead of the value.
So for example this bit of code:
<?php
$rows = get_field('blend');
if($rows)
{
echo '<ul>';
foreach($rows as $row)
{
echo '<li>' . $row['percentage'] . '% ' . $row['mix'] .'</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
?>
Is returning this:
<ul>
<li>30% blue</li>
<li>70% light_pink</li>
</ul>
Which is almost what I’m trying to achieve, except I’m trying to return the Label instead of the Value. So “light_pink” is “Light Pink”.
Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hi @realph
To load a select field’s label for the selected value, you will need to load the field object.
Becuase this is a sub field, you need to use a function called get_sub_field_object. You can learn more about this function here:
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/functions/get_sub_field_object/
Please note that this function will not work with your current loop. You will need to change your loop to use a have_rows while loop like this:

@elliot I still can’t wrap my head around how to do this. Do I put the get_sub_field_object inside the have_rows while loop like this:
<?php if( have_rows('blend') ): ?>
<ul>
<?php
$select = get_sub_field_object('blend');
$value = the_sub_field('mix');
$myvariable = $select['choices'][ $value ];
while( have_rows('blend') ): the_row();
?>
<li>
<p><?php echo $myvariable; ?></p>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
This is returning en empty unordered list. Not sure if this is a result of working late, or I’m just missing the concept completely.
Hi @realph
Any sub field function such as ‘get_sub_field_object’ needs to be used WITHIN the loop, not outside the loop.
Your code should be changed to this:
<?php if( have_rows('blend') ): ?>
<ul>
<?php while( have_rows('blend') ): the_row();
$select = get_sub_field_object('mix');
$value = get_sub_field('mix');
$myvariable = $select['choices'][ $value ];
?>
<li>
<p><?php echo $myvariable; ?></p>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
I notices quite a few mistakes with your parameters such as ‘blend’ in the get_sub_field_object function. Blend is your repeater field, not your select field.
Hopefully you can read over and understand the code I have posted.
Thanks

@elliot Of course, ‘mix’ can be called upon with get_sub_field_object, and is my select field! Thanks for jogging my tired brain.
Here’s a version to show both the label and value for a sub field in a repeater.
<?php if( have_rows(‘distribution_list’) ): ?>
<div id=”distributors”>
<?php while( have_rows(‘distribution_list’) ): the_row();
$select = get_sub_field_object(‘country’);
$value = get_sub_field(‘country’);
$label = $select[‘choices’][ $value ];
?>
<li class=”<?php echo $value; ?>”><?php echo $label; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
