Hello. I am hoping someone can help me with how to display sub fields into groups. I have the following code but am sure I am missing something fundamental. Any help appreciated.
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php if( have_rows(‘repeater’) ): ?>
<?php while( have_rows(‘repeater’) ): the_row(); ?>
<?php
$name = get_sub_field(‘name’); // retrieves; John Joan Ravi Devi Olaf Freya
$fruit = get_sub_field(‘fruit’); // retrieves: apples oranges apples mangoes oranges apples
$arr_fruit[] = $fruit; // array
$arr_unq_fruit = array_unique($arr_fruit); // apples oranges mangoes
$fave_fruit = array();
foreach ($arr_unq_fruit as $key => $val) {
$fave_fruit[] = $val;
}
?>
<?php
$n=0;
while ( $n< count($arr_unq_fruit) ) {
if( $fruit == $fave_fruit[$x] ) {
echo ” . $name . ‘ likes ‘ . $fave_fruit[$x] . ‘. <br/>’ ;
}
$n++;
}
?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
The above matches names with fruits but how to get and display in fruit groups/blocks?
Above result:
John likes apples
Joan likes oranges
Ravi likes apples
Devi likes mangoes
Olaf likes oranges
Freya likes apples
Desired result:
John likes apples
Ravi likes apples
Freya likes apples
Joan likes oranges
Olaf likes oranges
Devi likes mangoes
OK so it’s probably more a regular coding issue than an ACF one but would still be grateful for any suggestions on best way to approach working with rows of sub fields which can be handled in groups (for formatting etc). Multidimensional array maybe?
$name = get_sub_field(‘name’); // John Joan Ravi Devi Olaf Freya
$fruit = get_sub_field(‘fruit’); // apples oranges apples mangoes oranges apples
$when = get_sub_field(‘when’); // breakfast breakfast lunch dinner breakfast lunch
To get this (could be grouped either by fruit or time):
John likes apples at breakfast
Ravi likes apples at lunch
Freya likes apples at lunch
Joan likes oranges at breakfast
Olaf likes oranges at breakfast
Devi likes mangoes at dinner
