Loopers, Dynamic Content and ACF

[Rule72]

Hiya!

I’ve drilled down into other ACF posts but can’t make what I’m trying to do, work. I’ve got the dynamic content pulling in from ACF, as such:

But… how do I change the post ID to dynamically pull from a looper provider?

I’ve got the column set as provider, and the text as a consumer—no dice apparently. Nesting a dynamic {{…}} within another {{…}} doesn’t seem to be a thing either.

Please send air support.

Thanks!

Hi @Rule72,

Thanks for reaching out!

Would you mind sharing your goal about your ACF and Looper implementation? In that way we can advise you on the proper way on how you can implement it. You can also check our documentation about ACF and Loopers below.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Definitely! A lot of my clients have commissioned multiple (2, 3, 4+) sites; I’m building myself a dashboard to give them so they can keep track of all the various forms, statuses, etc. that we need to use on an ongoing basis.

I want a category {client-name} to pull posts’ fields into an object tile, and looper to generate however many objects are needed. So each ACF will need to pull it’s source from the Provider.

I’m looking through the documentation now, but I suppose I’m just not able yet to wrap my head around how this is working. It’s quite dense, and the terms are… obtuse lol. (Not criticising the theme, it’s the nature of dynamic programming. )

Hi @Rule72,

Thanks for your explanation, but it will be very difficult to recognize the issue without investigating through the admin dashboard. Can you please provide login credentials for your site in a secure note to examine it further, including:

– WordPress Site URL & Login URL
– Specific page URL where you have used it.
– WordPress Admin username/password

To create a secure note, click the key icon underneath any of your posts.

Thanks

Ok! I’m dropping the login here. But… I’m definitely trying to get the concept to click on a broad level, rather than acute use cases, so bear with me (and thanks for the patience).

Here’s one brain tickler. I have a modal window that’s supposed to be populated by an ACF field in an iFrame, to which I input a link. If I can figure out how to properly set that case up, the rest of the dynamic loop stuff on this page should click.

Hi @Rule72,

Unfortunately, the given credentials are not working. Can you please check and send it once again.

Thanks

Odd! The login password was copied straight from the new user setup.

Anyway, I actually just muscled down with your documentation and trial-errored everything. About 5 hours later… turns out I was doubling down on looper providers accidentally (and was trying to be fancy by using a global block that then nests in a provider, for easier content management later).

Solved, thanks!

Glad to hear that, @Rule72
