Hi friends,
I am using the following repeater:
– video_tutorial
— title
— outline
— embed
–summary
— downloads
And the following code to display each sub field
<?php
// check if the repeater field has rows of data
if( have_rows('video_tutorial') ):
// loop through the rows of data
while ( have_rows('video_tutorial') ) : the_row();
// display a sub field value
the_sub_field('title');
endwhile;
else :
// no rows found
endif;
?>
The thing is that when I add two elements, my visual framework (Headway) does not create a new “video_tutorial” instance . Instead of displaying something like:
– video_tutorial 1
— title 1
— outline 1
— embed 1
–summary 1
— downloads 1
– video_tutorial 2
— title 2
— outline 2
— embed 2
–summary 2
— downloads 2
It displays something like:
– video_tutorial 1
— title 1
— title 2
— outline 1
— outline 2
— embed 1
— embed 2
–summary 1
–summary 2
— downloads 1
— downloads 2
My question is: How can I display this correctly in Headway? Is there a special PHP code I need to enter in the custom code besides what I am already using?
Thanks so much
Are you outputting all of the sub fields in the same loop?
<?php
// check if the repeater field has rows of data
if( have_rows('video_tutorial') ):
// loop through the rows of data
while ( have_rows('video_tutorial') ) : the_row();
// display a sub field value
the_sub_field('title');
echo '<br>';
the_sub_field('outline');
echo '<br>';
the_sub_field('embed');
// etc...
endwhile;
else :
// no rows found
endif;
?>
I’m not. I’m trying to use one “block” (as Headways call it) per subfield. What do you think?
I don’t know anything about blocks in headway, but that’s the reason why you’re getting the output your getting. Basically you’re looping through the repeater and showing all of the values for a single field in all rows, then you’re looping through it again and showing the fields for the rows of the next field.
What you’re going to have to do is show all the values of each row and incorporate the needed HTML into it.
