I want to be able to select a ‘template part’ in a repeater field.
I store animated svgs in a folder and I want to use them at the beginning of each section.
So far I have tried to input get_template_part('svg/inline','scales.svg'); into a text field called icon (stored as $icon), and then echo it out in the section of the HTML that I would normally have put get_template_part('svg/inline','scales.svg');. This has not worked.
Can someone point me in the right direction? My code is below.
if( have_rows('sections') ):
while ( have_rows('sections') ) : the_row();
$title = get_sub_field('title');
$section = get_sub_field('section');
$icon = get_sub_field('icon'); ?>
<div class = "gen_section" id = "section_<?php echo $title; ?>">
<div class = "wrap">
<!--Need get_template_part below ($icon)-->
<span class = "icon_span"><?php if ( $icon ) { echo $icon; } ?>
<h2 class = "section-title"> <?php echo $title; ?> </h2>
</span>
<?php echo $section; ?>
</div>
</div> <?php
endwhile;
else :
// no rows found
endif; ?>
You are trying to run PHP code but echoed code is not run.
I would suggest altering your input to just include the second part of the shortcode, for example you would enter scales.svg into the field.
Then in your template you would do
<?php get_teplate_part('svg/inline', get_field('icon_field')); ?>
Hello @tmgale12
Can you give me an example of what get_sub_field('icon') returns?
Thank’s John, that’s worked.
My working code is below for reference.
// check if the repeater field has rows of data
if( have_rows('sections') ):
while ( have_rows('sections') ) : the_row();
$title = get_sub_field('title');
$section = get_sub_field('section'); ?>
<div class = "gen_section" id = "section_<?php echo $title; ?>">
<div class = "wrap">
<!--Need get_template_part here ($icon)-->
<span class = "icon_span"><?php if ( $icon ) { get_template_part('svg/inline', get_sub_field('icon')); } ?>
<h2 class = "section-title"> <?php echo $title; ?> </h2>
</span>
<?php echo $section; ?>
</div>
</div> <?php
endwhile;
else :
// no rows found
endif; ?>
I’m using ACF 5 but this solution doesn’t work for me:
get_teplate_part('parts/content', get_sub_field('tipo_blocco'));
tipo_blocco is a select field that if i put into the page i can see:
echo get_sub_field('tipo_blocco');
I’ve also tried to put the filed into a variable like this:
$tipo_blocco = get_sub_field('tipo_blocco');
get_teplate_part('parts/content', $tipo_blocco));
Where is the mistake?
@genuino I know this is a relatively old thread. But there is a typo in @hube2’s code I guess. It should be get_template_part() not get_teplate_part(). Please note that the “m” is missing in the word “template”.
