Hello,

How to display the number of the row of the repeater field please ?

In my project, one row = one step, so I want to display the left number of the row (in admin) on front office :

row 1 -> step 1
row 2 -> step 2
etc

I hope my explanation is clear.

Thanks in advance !

Hi!

Since you’re probably outputting the repeaterfield in a while loop you can use a counter for the steps:

<?php
$i = 1;
while(has_sub_field('myrepeaterfield')):
?>
<p>Step <?php echo $i; ?></p>

<?php
$i++;
endwhile;
?>

Hi @Manuc

You can also treat the repeater field value as an array:

echo count( get_field('repeater_field') );

This doesn’t seem to work inside a flexible content loop. The return from get_field() is NULL. I tried get_sub_field() and that returns false. Any suggestions?

Do you have it set up like this example?

Hi, What was the resolution to this? I’m having the same issue of getting a null result from a repeater in a flexible content field in a repeater. I’m pretty sure I have it set up correctly…

@zaccety I think I figured out it had something to do with the placement of the function call. See here: https://github.com/solepixel/acf-modules/blob/master/modules/icon-blocks.php#L242

Notice that it’s outside “have_rows”. I’m pretty sure that’s all I needed to do and it returns the correct amount.

Thanks for the reply, looks like you’re doing something a lot more complicated than what I’m trying to achieve :c) turned out I had a rookie syntax error :c|

Hi everyone,
I’d like to go a little further (and more complicated):
Is it possible to count the number of row with a true/false field on “true”.

@meneldil My quick go to your question as I was searching for the answer myself.

if( have_rows('my_repeater') ):
  $i = 0; 
  while( have_rows('my_repeater') ): the_row(); 
    if( get_sub_field('sub_field_boolean') ) $i++;
 endwhile; 
  $tCount = $i;
endif;

($tCount to produce the number of rows with a true field)
