Statbar with Dynamic Content ACF

[mcostales84]

Hi there, I need to use a statbar with dynamic content from acf. I was checking this thread and seems to be kind of possible Feature request: Setting Statbar lenght with dynamic content
however, the type of field I’m using is a slider, and even if I use text, I have to enter “%” with the numeric value, otherwise it won’t work.
My question is, beside when are you going to have that available using the dabase icon:
is there a way to add something like

{{dc:post:meta key=“something”}}%

so I add the percetange symbol on the page instead of the backend?

Hello @mcostales84,

The % sign is needed, like adding this {{dc:post:meta key="something" fallback="82%"}}, because the value will then be used in the backend and in the custom CSS:

Output:

Best Regards.

I know the % is necessary, but the value I’m getting from the custom field is without the %. My question is, if there is a way to add that % at the layout level?

Hey @mcostales84,

Regretfully, no. Percent is really needed in the key and fallback values, so you can’t use the Number field in ACF. I understand you want to add it at the layout level, but in case you change your mind, switching to the Text field and adding the % in the field would work.

but then I have to enter the symbol, otherwise it doesn’t work.
The funny thing is, with the old stat bar, it works like a charm, no need to enter the symbol, and I can use a slider inside ACF

Yes. I only said that:

The Classic Statbar and the Statbar were built differently. Maybe in the future, this will change. Please stay tuned for updates.

Thanks.
