Connecting ACF sub fields to looper providers

Support
#1

Hi I am having issues connecting ACF repeater and its sub fields to Conerstone elements. For the life of me every time I follow your tutorials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LSZ7cGLNso&t=505s I do not get any of the fields in the “fields” dropdown and even when I try to manually insert, they do not connect. I set the row to provider and the column to consumer but there is where any connections ends.

Hello @leestuar1,

I went ahead and created a section called “Themeco Test,” where I have pulled the ACF fields data using the Looper, with the Looper provider set as Dynamic Content. You need to unhide the section and check the settings.

Hope it helps
Thanks

Thanks, that working perfectly. What was I missing (for future reference)

Hello @leestuar1,

It looks like you’re trying to retrieve an ACF post meta field using the following Dynamic Content tag on the page:

{{dc:acf:post_field field="bni_members_profile"}}

This tag attempts to retrieve the ACF field from the current page, since no post ID has been specified.

If you want to retrieve the ACF field from a specific post on the page, you’ll need to specify the post ID using the post parameter. For example:

{{dc:acf:post_field post="772" field="bni_members_profile"}}

This tells Cornerstone to retrieve the bni_members_profile field from post ID 772, rather than from the current page.

Hope it helps
Thanks
