  • Hi Wietseneven.

    Did you manage to get your solution for this? If so, are you able to share – or provide an example of the code you used?

    I need a similar solution for State > Local Government Area > City/Town > Postcode

    Thanks in advance.

  • Sorry John. Just further to the above, I need to be able to keep the database table’s relationship between the states, cities, towns, postcodes etc. Not sure how the Options page would deal with that?

  • Thanks John for your speedy reply. So, does this mean it is not at all possible to do the below – include a $wpdb query within the following function?

    function acf_load_lga_field_choices( $field ) {
    
    // reset choices
    $field['choices'] = array();
  
    global $wpdb;
    $choices = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT local_government_area FROM table_towns" );
    
   
    // loop through array and add to field 'choices'
    if( is_array($choices) ) {
        
        foreach( $choices as $choice ) {
            
            $field['choices'][ $choice ] = $choice;
            
        }
        
    }
  
    // return the field
    return $field;
    
}

add_filter('acf/load_field/name=local_government_area', 'acf_load_lga_field_choices');

    I don’t understand how using Options page will help, or what I would need to do with cities/towns table from my database?

    Can you please explain a little further, or provide another example, of how the Options page would work to dynamically populate ‘choices’ using existing database content. Thank you.

  • Hi Jonathon, Thank you for your assistance.

    To clarify:
    Part 1
    I have put the functions part of the code (from here: sort a repeater field) in my functions.php file. I have replaced the field key with my relevant custom field key.

    The part of this function that I don’t understand is this part:
    add_filter('acf/load_value/name=scores', 'my_acf_load_value', 10, 3);
    What do I need to change here, and to what?
    And, do I repeat this function when I have more than one custom field to sort?

    Part 2
    Then I have put the php code within my single_custom_post_type.php file and replaced ‘repeater’ with my same field key as used in the function.

    <?php if( have_rows('field_5650dfe9c5250') ): ?>

	<ul>

	<?php while( have_rows('field_5650dfe9c5250') ): the_row(); ?>

		<li><?php the_sub_field('id'); ?>. <?php the_sub_field('name'); ?></li>

	<?php endwhile; ?>

	</ul>

<?php endif; ?>

    I am not getting any result?
    Where am I going wrong?

  • Hello. I also have a radio button sub field type within a repeater field.
    Here is my code:

    <?php if( have_rows('outcomes_your_activity_seeks') ): ?>
            
                <?php while( have_rows('outcomes_your_activity_seeks') ): the_row(); 
                    // variables
                    $radio_1 = get_sub_field('radio_1');
		    $radio_2 = get_sub_field('radio_2');
		    $radio_3 = get_sub_field('radio_3');
                    $radio_4 = get_sub_field('radio_4');
		?>
		
		<p class=""><?php echo $radio_1; ?></p>
                <p class=""><?php echo $radio_2; ?></p>

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

    As I have a few of these custom field setups, is there way to code a loop that displays all sub fields based on the ‘Order’ ‘Label’ ‘Name’ ‘Type’ as opposed to having to put in each unique sub field name? This would prevent a lot of manual coding.

    Also I don’t understand the different between get_sub_field and the_sub_field? One returns a value and the other displays – how are they different?

    My website users are filling out the custom fields form in the WordPress Dashboard. All I need to do is display the content from the form in the front of the website.

    Hoping there is a quick way to display the label + values of the choice/text/select/ sub fields?
