ACF Repeater Field in a Looper

[Kennyboy7]

Is there any update on when ACF repeater fields will be included in Pro please. I’m desperate for this functionality to finish a project I’m currently working on.

I’ve managed to them to pull through using a custom provider but its showing the whole list and I’ve no control over how they are displayed.

Has anyone has managed to get it working yet ?

** SOLVED **

With the help of some others of Facebook this solved.

You need to add the following to the Functions.php file in your child theme.

// This makes ACF Repeater fields work in a looper using the Custom type
// Custom Looper provider, use as “Hook”: my_acf_repeater
// and in the “Params” field, enter the name of your ACF repeater field like so:
// {“field”: “REPEATER_FIELD_NAME”}
// add a consumer with the setting {{dc:looper:field key=“SUB_FIELD_NAME”}}
add_filter( ‘cs_looper_custom_my_acf_repeater’, function( $result, $args ) {
return get_field( $args[‘field’] );
}, 10, 2);

Then, in the Custom Looper provider, use as “Hook”: my_acf_repeater

and in the “Params” field, enter the name of your ACF repeater field like so:

{

“field”: “REPEATER_FIELD_NAME”

}

This works flexibly for any repeater field.

In the Looper consumer, you can read the sub-fields inside your repeater like so:

{{dc:looper:field key=“SUB_FIELD_NAME”}}

Glad to hear you found a solution, @Kennyboy7 and thanks for sharing it.

Great solution @Kennyboy7! Thanks for that.

It works fine for a repeater that repeats simple ACF Fields that contain data.

But i am trying to use this filter on an ACF Repeater field that repeats an ACF Group Field containing several simple sub-fields. I imagine ACF Group Field stores those other fields in key:values inside an array, but my php knowledge is limited.

Any ideas?
