Output multiple select fields in unordered list?

Hi – I’ve successfully outputted the contents of a multiple select field on my web page using following code in page template:

if( have_rows('flexible_content_field_name') ):
   while ( have_rows('flexible_content_field_name') ) : the_row();

		if( get_row_layout() == 'likes' ):
		
			$likes_list = get_sub_field('likes_list');
			echo implode(', ', $likes_list);
        endif;

   endwhile;

endif;

Page output is : item1, item2, item3

I’d like to break up the implode(', ', $likes_list); code so that I can make my the items output into an unordered list:

• item1
• item2
• item3

Any help much appreciated!

Hi @nadgemanforum

It’s just a matter of looping through the values (it’s an array) and output an li for each!

This should do it:

if( have_rows('flexible_content_field_name') ):
   while ( have_rows('flexible_content_field_name') ) : the_row();

		if( get_row_layout() == 'likes' ):
			$likes_list = get_sub_field('likes_list');
			if( $likes_list ):
				echo '<ul>';
				foreach( $likes_list as $like ):
					echo '<li>' . $like . '</li>';
				endforeach;
				echo '</ul>';
			endif;
			echo implode(', ', $likes_list);
        endif;

   endwhile;

endif;

Best of luck in your project!

Thanks for your help Jonathan.

Just one thing: “echo implode(‘, ‘, $likes_list);” no longer required!

Thanks again.

@nadgemanforum

Lol.. I copied your code and forgot to delete it 😉

Anyway, you’re welcome! If you have more questions regarding ACF feel free to write in the forums.

How can I create a bullet list without having to code? I’m new to ACF and using CPT UI to set things up.
