Hi everyone!
I’ve created a select field with multiple select input.
I would like to get the label as well as the value in a foreach loop.
At the moment I use this code snippet:
$field_name = "md_services";
$field = get_field_object($field_name);
if( $field ){
foreach( $field['choices'] as $k => $v ){
$icon = '<span class="md-service-img"> <img src="' . get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/icons/' . $k . '.png"><span class="md-service-desc">' . $v . '</span></span>';
echo $icon;
}
}
For example the select field “md_services” has 5 choices. I selected 3 of them.
With this code it displays the image and description correctly – but for all 5 possible choices.
If I change $field[‘choices’] to $field[‘value’] it displays only the 3 selected services but not the label. Of course if you check the field_object.
Is it possible to get the value as well as the label of a multi select field?
Thank you so much in advance!
the way to do that the code needs to look something like this:
$field_name = "md_services";
$values = get_field($field_name);
$field = get_field_object($field_name);
if( $values ){
foreach( $values as $value ){
$icon = '<span class="md-service-img"> <img src="' .
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/icons/' .
$value . '.png"><span class="md-service-desc">' .
$field['choices'][$value] . '</span></span>';
echo $icon;
}
}
Recently I have created some function that can do this as well and added them to my library of ACF filters and functions https://github.com/Hube2/acf-filters-and-functions/blob/master/acf-field-label-functions.php
Hey John,
Great, it works perfectly!
Thank you very much.
