YouTube video added to oEmbed field in ACF does not display in Cornerstone when being looped over

[dtsui]

I created a custom post type titled “State Parks” that includes various field groups in ACF Pro. One of the field groups (i.e. videos) uses an oEmbed field where the user adds a link to a YouTube video. It’s in a repeater field, so someone can add multiple videos. The fields within the videos group are “video_title” and “video_link”.

Creating the Post in WordPress: When adding the YouTube url to this oEmbed field (and a text field that is being used for testing), the video displays in both places.

Cornerstone Single Post Template: After setting up the row as the looper provider ( {{dc:acf:post_field field=“videos”}} ) and the column as the looper consumer ( {{dc:acf:post_field field=“videos_video_link”}} ), it shows that I have 3 videos, but none of the videos are displaying. I have looped through the video, html - raw and text elements and none are displaying the video.

However, when I pull a single video from any of these fields in ACF (that is not in a repeater field and is not looped over in Cornerstone), the video and it’s title do display as expected. The videos and titles do not display when they are in a repeater field and being looped over in Cornerstone. FWIW, I am using the repeater ACF field on a number of other fields that do not have videos and they work perfectly.

Could you please take a look at my site?

Hello @dtsui,

Thanks for writing to us

To access the video and video title from the ACF repeater field, please use these dynamic content tags.

Video Title: {{dc:looper:field key="video_title"}}
Video embed code: {{dc:looper:field key="video_link"}}

Hope it helps
Thanks

@prakash_s,

Thank you so much for your help!!! I greatly appreciate it. That solved my problem, regardless of what ACF field I was using (oEmbed or Text). Both render correctly in Cornerstone now when looping over them.

I was not aware of the {{dc:looper:field key=“video_link”}} dynamic content tag.

One question. When using the {{dc:looper:field key=“video_link”}} dynamic content tag, why don’t you have to reference the field group container first, like you would when using {{dc:acf:post_field field=“videos_video_link”}}? videos is the group container and video_link is the name of the oEmbed field that contains the Google link inside the videos group?

Again, I can’t thank you enough for your support and insight. Have a great day!

Hello @dtsui,

You are using the Looper provider type as dynamic content with the ACF repeater field, so it returns the array. I would suggest you please have a look at this documentation to learn more about how to access the ACF repeater field using the looper.
