Hi!
I don’t know if this is possible or advisable, or if I’m barking up the wrong tree…
I have a custom post type where I need to have multiple names, with each name being linked to one or more titles. Names and titles are separate taxonomies:
NAME TITLE
Joe Blow: employee
Jane Doe: owner
William Idol: employee, manager
Mike Smith: contractor, hr
etc…
Each post will have varying name/title combinations – most names will be used in multiple posts, and the title for each name will change for each post.
The taxonomies are in a repeater called People.
I have this working so I can add/delete names/titles, but I can’t get it to display on the front end. I’ve looked at the docs, but can’t figure out what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
To display the rows of a repeater with taxonomy fields as subfields would look something like this.
This code assumes that you are returning term objects from the taxonomy fields
if (have_rows('repeater_field')) {
while (have_rows('repeter_field')) {
the_row();
$name = get_sub_field('name_field');
$title = get_sub_field('title_field');
echo $name->name,': ',$title->name;
}
}
for more information see
have_rows: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/have_rows/
taxonomy field: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/taxonomy/
term object: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_terms
With one small addition it worked:
if (have_rows('repeater_field')) {
while (have_rows('repeater_field')) {
the_row();
$name = get_sub_field('name_field');
$title = get_sub_field('title_field');
echo $name->name,': ',$title[0]->name;
}
}
Each name may have multiple titles, so would there have to be another loop within to get all of those?
Yes, there would need to be something if a taxonomy field can have multiple selections, I missed that in your original post
if (have_rows('repeater_field')) {
while (have_rows('repeater_field')) {
the_row();
$name = get_sub_field('name_field');
$titles = get_sub_field('title_field');
echo $name->name,': ';
$count = 0;
foreach ($titles as $title) {
$count++;
if ($count > 1) {
echo ', ';
}
echo $title->name;
}
echo '<br />';
}
}
Nice, that’s very close to where I got to. Thanks so much!
