Hello,

I want to catch all specific sub_fields from flexible content field and make the menu from them.

Here is the code for my flexible content field:

<?php
if( have_rows('modules') ): while ( have_rows('modules') ) : the_row();

if( get_row_layout() == 'photo' ): 

the_sub_field('menu_name')); 
the_sub_field('photo')); 

elseif( get_row_layout() == 'text' ): 

the_sub_field('menu_name')); 
the_sub_field('text')); 

<?php endif; endwhile; else : endif; ?>

I want to get all the_sub_field(‘menu_name’) and to populate menu from that, like this:

<ul>
  <li>1st the_sub_field('menu_name'));</li>
  <li>2st the_sub_field('menu_name'));</li>
  <li>3st the_sub_field('menu_name'));</li>
  <li>4st the_sub_field('menu_name'));</li>
  <li>5st the_sub_field('menu_name'));</li>
</ul>

Any help on that?

Maybe something like:

<?php if( have_rows('modules') ): ?> 
<?php $menu_items = ''; ?>
<?php while ( have_rows('modules') ) : the_row();

if( get_row_layout() == 'photo' ): 

$menu_items .= '<li><img src="' . get_sub_field('photo') . '" alt="' . get_sub_field('menu_name') . '"><li>';

elseif( get_row_layout() == 'text' ): 

$menu_items .= '<li>' . get_sub_field('menu_name') . ' ' . get_sub_field('text') . '</li>';

<?php endif; endwhile; ?>

<ul>
<?php echo $menu_items; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif;  // end modules has rows ?>

Yeahhhh 🙂 Actually it’s pretty simple solution. Just using the same source code and making output of only menu item sub_field, ignoring all other fields.

Thanks ractoon for your help. I will try it and come back if its solved 🙂

My final code for this issue:

<?php if( have_rows('modules') ): ?> 
<ul>

<?php while ( have_rows('modules') ) : the_row();

if( get_row_layout() == 'photo' ): 

echo '<li>'.the_sub_field('menu_name') . '<li>';

elseif( get_row_layout() == 'text' ): 

echo '<li>' . the_sub_field('menu_name') .'</li>';

endif; endwhile; ?>

</ul>
<?php endif;  // end modules has rows ?>

It works perfectly. Thanks ractoon for your help. It was more easier when i was trying to do it 🙂
