Looper Dynamic Background Color

[tektonministries]

I have a looper consumer on a row. Is it possible to choose a background color based on a dynamic value from the looper provider?

Thanks.

Hi @tektonministries,

Regretfully, there is no such option to set the background color through the Looper Provider.

Thanks

Ok thanks.

I’m using ACF with a dropdown field that has choices with a value and a label like this:

keynote-speaker : Keynote Speaker
parish-mission : Parish Mission
radio-show : Radio Show

Is there a way to pull out either the value or the label as separate values using dynamic content?

This will pull out both when I have ACF return it as an array: {{dc:acf:post_field field=“event_type”}}

I don’t see a way to pull them out individually.

Hi @tektonministries,

In that case, you need to set the {{dc:acf:post_field field=“event_type”}} into the Dynamic Content of the Looper Provider and use the {{dc:looper:field key=“keynote-speaker”}} inside the looper. I would suggest you go through the following documentation which may help you.

I already have the Looper Provider set up to pull all items from that post type. I just need to get the value and the label of the ACF selected option.

I assume that means I have to add another Looper Provider inside the top one so I can loop through the array value returned by the Select option. Is that right?

It’s not working. This line doesn’t seem right: {{dc:looper:field key=“keynote-speaker”}}. keynote-speaker is an option value. It seems like I might need an index number to pull out the first item in the array. Would that work?

Thanks for helping.

Sorry but I’d rather not share the credentials.

Thanks but I’d rather not take the time to set that up.

Is there a way to explain how to get the value and label of a ACF dropdown within a Looper Provider? Do I need to loop through the array values of the dropdown? If so, how do I reference them?

Thanks.

Hello @tektonministries,

The ACF select option will return a value, label or array. You cannot output the choices.

For some reference:

• Using ACF Pro ‘Select’ fields with Dynamic Content - How to get ‘label’ rather than ‘value’?
• ACF Custom Options Page => Looper Provider and consumer problem - Support - Themeco Forum

Hope this helps.

[tektonministries]

Those did help. Thanks.
