Hi I’m setting up an options page called “services”, I have made a field group that contains a repeater made up of service_icon,service_title,service_teaser,service_description
I then populate the services option page with all the rows of data.
What I what to be able to do, it on my pages be able to select a specific row to display
I’m not really sure how to go about this
There are a number of ways you can do this. One would be to have some other identifier and then on the page you want to display them on have a choice field where you select from a list of this other identifier to show only the ones that have it. Another way would be to create a select field that lets you choose them by the service title. https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/dynamically-populate-a-select-fields-choices/
Thanks John
Could you give any more detail on the second option, I tried following the examples but am struggling!
// loading the field
add_action('acf/load_field/name=select_field_name', 'load_select_field_name_choices');
function load_select_field_name_choices($field) {
$choices = array();
if (have_rows('repeater_field_name', 'options')) {
while (have_rows('repeater_field_name', 'options')) {
the_row();
$title = get_sub_field('services_title');
$choices[$title] = $title;
} // end while have rows
} // end if get field
} // end function
// displaying the values
$selections = get_field('select_field_name');
// this is assuming that the select field returns an array of selected values
if (!empty($selections)) {
if (have_rows('repeater_field_name', 'options')) {
while (have_rows('repeater_field_name', 'options')) {
the_row();
$title = get_sub_field('services_title');
if (in_array($title, $selections)) {
// get other sub fields from the repeater and display here
} // end if selection is selected
} // end while have rows
} // end if get field
} // end if !empty
Hi again, I managed to get the select field to dynamically populate, but the I’m not getting and fields to display on the page
did you replace this
// get other sub fields from the repeater and display here
with code to display the contents of the fields from the options page?
I did not include that.
Yes my code is below
<?php // displaying the values
$selections = get_field('service_select');
// this is assuming that the select field returns an array of selected values
if (!empty($selections)) {
if (have_rows('services', 'options')) {
while (have_rows('services', 'options')) {
the_row();
$title = get_sub_field('service_title');
$icon = get_sub_field('service_icon');
$title = get_sub_field('service_title');
$teaser = get_sub_field('service_teaser');
$description = get_sub_field('service_description');
$link = get_sub_field('service_link');
if (in_array($title, $selections)) {
// get other sub fields from the repeater and display here ?>
<div class="callout" data-equalizer-watch="callout">
<img src="<?php echo $icon['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $icon['alt'] ?>" />
<h5 class="text-center"><?php echo $title ?></h5>
<p class="text-center"><?php echo $teaser ?></p>
</div>
<?php } // end if selection is selected
} // end while have rows
} // end if get field
} // end if !empty
?>
Does the field ‘service_select’ allow one value or multiple to be selected?
<?php
// displaying the values
$selection = get_field('service_select');
if (!empty($selections)) {
if (have_rows('services', 'options')) {
while (have_rows('services', 'options')) {
the_row();
$title = get_sub_field('service_title');
if (in_array($title == $selection)) {
// get the other sub fields after checking
// instead of getting values that may not be needed
$icon = get_sub_field('service_icon');
$title = get_sub_field('service_title');
$teaser = get_sub_field('service_teaser');
$description = get_sub_field('service_description');
$link = get_sub_field('service_link');
?>
<div class="callout" data-equalizer-watch="callout">
<img src="<?php echo $icon['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $icon['alt'] ?>" />
<h5 class="text-center"><?php echo $title ?></h5>
<p class="text-center"><?php echo $teaser ?></p>
</div>
<?php
} // end if selection is selected
} // end while have rows
} // end if get field
} // end if !empty
?>
I’m still not getting anything, though I just tried removing the if statements from your code just to check, and it outputs all the repeater row, I don’t know if that helps narrow down where the problem is
ignore me my previous code seems to be working now!
Sorry for bringing this post back again, I am trying this solution, but
if( in_array( $title == $selection ) ) {
Seems to lose my repeater. If I remove it all the repeater rows will show.
The code I am using is below, any feedback on where I’ve gone wrong would be a huge help to me.
<?php
$selection = get_field('author_select');
if( !empty( $selection ) ) {
if( have_rows( 'user_profile', 'option' ) ) {
while( have_rows( 'user_profile', 'option' ) ) {
the_row();
$title = get_sub_field('full_name');
if( in_array( $title == $selection ) ) {
$title = get_sub_field('full_name');
$org = get_sub_field('organization');
$img = get_sub_field('profile_image');
?>
<figure id="author">
<div class="d-grid">
<div class="left-contents">
<h4>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:</h4>
<div id="author-avatar"><img src="<?php echo $img; ?>" alt="<?php echo $title; ?>" /></div>
</div>
<div class="mid-contents">
<h5><?php echo $title; ?> | <?php echo $org; ?></h5>
</div>
</div>
</figure>
<?php
}
}
}
}
?>
Sorry to bring up an old post but I’m having the exact same issue as nateads.
Is anyone able to help with this one?
@pickles can you post your code?
I actually don’t remember what I did to fix my issue but I will look back at my code tomorrow and compare it with what you have.
Yeah I had pretty much used the same code as above as.
<?php
$selection = get_field('sa_select_bookmaker', 'option');
if( !empty( $selection ) ) {
if( have_rows( 'side_ads', 'option' ) ) {
while( have_rows( 'side_ads', 'option' ) ) {
the_row();
$title = get_sub_field('sa_bookmaker');
if( in_array( $title == $selection ) ) {
$title = get_sub_field('sa_bookmaker');
$org = get_sub_field('left_ad');
$img = get_sub_field('right_ad');
?>
<?php echo $title; ?> <?php echo $org; ?> <?php echo $img; ?>
<?php
}
}
}
}
?>
This needs to be changed
if( in_array( $title == $selection ) ) {
to this if $selection is an array
if( in_array( $title, $selection ) ) {
or this if $selection is a single value
if( $title == $selection ) {
Thank you! Appreciate the help 🙂
