Hi!

I want to be able to put in how many rows as possible into a repeater field, but I just want to display 5 at the time and randomize these 5 fields every time the page load.

So what I’m looking for is to random repeater field, but limit the output to maximum 5.

I have tried to shuffle between answers from how to random and how to limit but can’t get it to work.

So now I have a code that works, that output maximum 5 rows, even though I have 20 fields.

So how can I random this fields now, but limit to 5?

My code right now is: `<? if( get_field(‘referenser’) ): $i = 0; ?>

<?php while( has_sub_field(‘referenser’) ): $i++;

if( $i > 5 )
{
break;
}

?>

<?php $bilder = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_sub_field(‘referensens_logotype’), ‘full’); ?>

<div class=”referens”><img src=”<?php echo $bilder[0]; ?>”></div>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>`

Hi @Henric Åkesson

To do this, you can’t use the has_sub_field function. Instead, you need to use the more basic PHP foreach loop through the repeater field data.

This way, you can use shuffle to randomize the repeater rows, and then loop through them using a counter to break the loop at row 5.

Good luck
