Troubles with true/false in repeater

  • Hello ACF Forum members,

    Ive been fiddling with some code for quite some time and Im wondering if someone could help me see what I am doing wrong.

    I am using the repeater field to display a list of links in the sidebar. I had it working just fine using a foreach loop but now I have added an additional true/false link within the repeater so users can check a box to hide the link if it is not executable on a phone or tablet. SO basically I want to inject a css class to the li tag to hide the link title from view on all devices except desktop. This is what I have so far:

    <aside class="widget">
    			<?php
    
    				$rows = get_field('tool_section_links');
    				if($rows)
    				{
    
    					echo '<h2>Tools</h2>';
    					echo '<ul>';
    
    					foreach($rows as $row)
    					{
    					
    						if (get_sub_field ('show_desktop') == true ) {
    					 
    							echo '<li class="show-for-large-up"><a href="'.$row['tool_link'].'">'.$row['tool_link_title'].'</a></li>';
    						}
    						else {
    					 
    							echo '<li><a href="'.$row['tool_link'].'">'.$row['tool_link_title'].'</a></li>';
    						}
    					}
    					
    				 	echo '</ul>';
    				} 
    			?>
    		</aside>

    Ive spent a lot of time looking for examples of true/false usage in the repeater but not much that I could find was much help. It seems like it should be quite basic so I must be missing something simple? Do I need to structure this differently without the foreach loop? thanks in advance.

  • i dont know if true/false has Problem with repeater.
    try if it works when you dont use == true, to ckeck if checked like that:

    if( get_sub_field ('show_desktop') ) {
    ...
    } else {
    ...
    }

    if this also dont work, you could try to replace true/false with a
    Radio Button or Check-Box field with value “yes” (and “no” when you use radio-button) and use code like that.

    $show_desktop = get_sub_field ('show_desktop');
    if ($show_desktop == 'yes'){
    ...
    } else {
    ...
    }

    of course you can replace yes/no with any value you wish when you use radio-button/check-box, just adapt code above

  • Thanks Mediawerk. I had originally tried the checkbox which did not work so I tried true/false. I just tried the radio button but that has no affect either. I can’t get the class in the li tag to appear. Any other suggestions?

  • could you try this (use have_rows and a wile loop instead of your foreach loop) :

    <aside class="widget">
    <?php
    if( have_rows('tool_section_links') ):
    echo '<h2>Tools</h2>';
    echo '<ul>';
    while( have_rows('tool_section_links') ): the_row();
    
    $show_desktop = get_sub_field('show_desktop');
    $tool_link = get_sub_field('tool_link');
    $tool_link_title = get_sub_field('tool_link_title');
    if ($show_desktop == 'yes'){
    echo '<li class="show-for-large-up"><a href="'.$tool_link.'">'.$tool_link_title.'</a></li>';
    } else {
    echo '<li><a href="'.$tool_link.'">'.$tool_link_title.'</a></li>';
    }
    endwhile;
    echo '</ul>';
    endif;
    ?>
    </aside>

    depend on witch fieldtype you use change if ($show_desktop == 'yes') to correct value

  • That worked! Those types of fields don’t seem to work well on a foreach loop. Restructuring the loop was my next plan of attack. Appreciate you sticking with this. Thanks Mediawerk, have a great day!

  • I Try to manage someting similar, but the sub_field “zusatzbutton” doesn’t work.
    Any thought?

    <?php
    		$seite = get_field('seite');
    		$zusatzbutton = get_sub_field('zusatzbutton-check');
    
    		if($seite) {
    		  echo '<div class="seiten grid-3 wrapper">';
    		     foreach($seite as $s) {
    		         echo '
    		         <div class="seite column">
    	              <div class="seite-bild"><a href="'.$s['button-link'].'"><img src="'.$s['seite-bild'].'"></a></div>
    	              <h2>'.$s['seite-text'].'</h2>
    	              <a class="weiterlesen" href="'.$s['button-link'].'">'.$s['button-text'].'</a>';
                   
                   		if($zusatzbutton == 'yes') {
                   			echo '<a class="weiterlesen" href="'.$s['zusatzbutton-link'].'">'.$s['zusatzbutton-text'].'</a>';
                   		}
                   		
    		         echo '</div>';
    		     }
    		  echo '</div>';
    		}
    	?>
