Hello,

i have a little question. I have a table with to Repeaterfields like:

| job | location | <- Static Table
| Developer | Germany | <- Two Fields

Now i want to link the job (here developer) with an attachment (job pdf).

The only Option i found, was a new Repeaterfield with Attachment, but these will seperate displayed after the location. I just want to have 2 things in the table with job is linked with an pdf.

Thank you 🙂

Hi @hartu

Could you please tell me where did you want it to show up?

If it’s on the front end, I believe you can add a new file custom field to the repeater and then add the link to the job text like this:

<?php 

// check if the repeater field has rows of data
if( have_rows('repeater_field_name') ):

 	// loop through the rows of data
    while ( have_rows('repeater_field_name') ) : the_row();

        // display a sub field value
        $file = get_sub_field('file_sub_field');
        if( $file ):
        ?>
        
        <a href="<?php echo $file['url']; ?>"><?php the_sub_field('job_sub_field'); ?></a>
        
        <?php endif;

    endwhile;

else :

    // no rows found

endif;

?>

I’m afraid you can’t do it on the backend, though. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

I hope this helps 🙂

Hello James :-)!

Right it should be show on the Frontend. So i wanna try your Code.
Thats my code at the moment:
(I added your Code as a example)

// Wenn mindestens 1 Datensatz vorhanden ist
	if( have_rows('stellen_ds_en' , 1779) ) {
	echo  '<table width="100%">';
		while( have_rows('stellen_ds_en' , 1779)) : the_row();
			
		

// Bezeichnung aus Feld laden
	$bezeichnung = get_sub_field('bezeichnung');

// Ort aus Feld laden
	$ort = get_sub_field('ort');
//Here goes your Code? 
        if ( $file ):
        ?>

        <a href="<?php echo $file['url']; ?>"><?php the_sub_field('bezeichnung'); ?></a>

// Anhang Text aus Feld laden

	echo "<tr><td width='50%'>$bezeichnung</td><td width='50%'>$ort</td></tr>";

// 3 Felder ausgeben

	endwhile;
	

echo '</table>';
}

?>

Hi @hartu

I’m not sure which one is the file custom field, so forgive me if I’m wrong (please keep in mind that you need to create a new file custom field in your repeater field). If the file custom field is ‘ort’, you need to do it like this:

// Ort aus Feld laden
$ort = get_sub_field('ort');
//Here goes your Code? 
    if ( $ort ):
    ?>

    <a href="<?php echo $ort['url']; ?>"><?php the_sub_field('bezeichnung'); ?></a>
    
    <? endif;

Also, you need to set the return value of your file custom field to “File Array”. I’ve attached a screenshot for your reference.

Hope this helps 🙂
