Here’s the basics of what I’m doing:
while(has_sub_field("field_name")) {
$path = TEMPLATEPATH . "/included_file.php";
if (file_exists($path)) {
include($path);
}
}
With this I can run “the_sub_field” and “get_sub_field” in the included file. However, nested repeaters do not work with the “has_sub_field” while statement method. I can use a foreach using “get_sub_field” in a variable though.
//this works
foreach(get_sub_field("sub_field_name")){
//do something
}
//this doesn't
while(has_sub_field("sub_field_name")){
//do something
}
Any ideas why the while method wouldn’t work when in an included file like that?
Edit:
Hmmm looking through the documentation some more, I had assumed that nesting a repeater in a Flex field worked the same way as nested repeaters. Ignore the included file aspect, can you use a while has sub field within a flex field?
I just tested your method, and I can confirm it’s working fine;
One thing I did notice is that you should have added a / before ‘included_file.php’ in your path variable. I added it below!
Code within my loop:
<?php while(has_sub_field('nested')): ?>
<?php $path = TEMPLATEPATH . '/included_file.php'; ?>
<?php if (file_exists($path)) {
include($path);
} ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
include_file.php code
<?php the_sub_field('name') ?> (<strong>
<?php while(has_sub_field('list')): ?>
<?php the_sub_field('list_name') ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</strong>)
Are you using two repeaters? I’m trying to call a repeater from inside a Flex field. I actually do that the ‘/’ there in my actual code, I simplified the example code. Thanks!

Indeed i’m using nested repeaters, I will try using a flex field.

Works fine with repeater inside a flex field as well. Make sure you are running this code within the WP loop or a custom loop.
code within loop:
<?php while(has_sub_field('nested')): ?>
<?php $path = TEMPLATEPATH . '/included_file.php'; ?>
<?php if (file_exists($path)) {
include($path);
} ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
include_file.php
<?php if(get_row_layout() == "heading"): //another field ?>
<?php the_sub_field('heading') ?><br>
<?php elseif(get_row_layout() == "repeater"): // repeater ?>
<?php while(has_sub_field('repeater')): ?>
- <?php the_sub_field('name') ?><br>
<?php endwhile ?>
<?php endif; ?>
I suppose that’s my problem, I’m not running it in a loop. I’m running it from a plugin. I will try that, thanks!

Perhaps you could take a look at my plugin directly. I tried running a loop from within the plugin but no luck. Here’s the plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/buckets/
In the main plugin file “buckets.php” the function get_bucket() is where I’m calling the flex field. I call the function from my ACF custom field under “fields/buckets.php”.
Thanks!
