A question about sets in repeaters

Hi dmzayasplus,

I want to help you but I can’t really understand your request. Could you please give me some examples of a,b,c,d and a,c,e..? I fail to understand that is what.

If you have managed to configure the fields as your preference, but you have issues with processing them, can you post here or send me the exported container? Both XML/PHP would work.

I am using a repeater in your plugin. Within this repeater’s repeater fields I am using a checkbox set consisting of about 10 checkbox options. So far I’ve completed the code below:

<?php foreach( get_uf( 'Kickstarters' ) as $Kickstarters ): extract( $Kickstarters ) ?>
				<div class="col-md-6">
					<h3><a href="<?php echo $kickstarter_url ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $Name ?></a></h3>
					<p><?php echo $kickstarter_plug ?></p>
				</div>

				<div class="col-md-6">
					<iframe frameborder="0" height="300" scrolling="no" src="<?php echo $kickstarter_url ?>/widget/card.html?v=2" width="220"></iframe>
				</div>

				<div class="clearfix"></div>

				<h3>In this Kickstarter:</h3>

				<div class="badges">
				/** I NEED THIS DIV TO APPEAR ONLY IF I HAVE CLICKED THE CHECKBOX WITH THE SLUG "20_or_less" **/
					<div class="col-md-3">
						<img src="https://meeplemechanic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20-or-Less-Badge.png" alt="20 or Less Badge" width="100%" />
					</div>
				</div>

			<?php endforeach ?>

From what I know about ACF it probably needs to be in an array that calls something like

/*
*  Conditional statement (Checkbox rvalue is an array)
*/

if( in_array( 'red', get_field('field_name') ) )
{
    //...
}

Or

/*
*  Query posts for a checkbox value.
*  This method uses the meta_query LIKE to match the string "red" to the database value a:2:{i:0;s:3:"red";i:1;s:4:"blue";} (serialized array)
*  The above value suggests that the user selected "red" and "blue" from the checkbox choices
*/

$posts = get_posts(array(
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key' => 'field_name', // name of custom field
            'value' => '"red"', // matches exaclty "red", not just red. This prevents a match for "acquired"
            'compare' => 'LIKE'
        )
    )
));

if( $posts )
{
    //...
}

Hi again dmzayasplus,

in the message before the last one you almost got it right. The only thing you needed to do was add the conditional statement around the badge. I tried code that was almost the same and it works like this:

<?php foreach( get_uf( 'Kickstarters' ) as $Kickstarters ): extract( $Kickstarters ) ?>
	<div class="col-md-6">
		<h3><a href="<?php echo $kickstarter_url ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $Name ?></a></h3>
		<p><?php echo $kickstarter_plug ?></p>
	</div>

	<div class="col-md-6">
		<iframe frameborder="0" height="300" scrolling="no" src="<?php echo $kickstarter_url ?>/widget/card.html?v=2" width="220"></iframe>
	</div>

	<div class="clearfix"></div>

	<h3>In this Kickstarter:</h3>

	<div class="badges">
		<?php if( in_array( '20_or_less', $set_key ) ): ?>
		<div class="col-md-3">
			<img src="https://meeplemechanic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20-or-Less-Badge.png" alt="20 or Less Badge" width="100%" />
		</div>
		<?php endif ?>
	</div>

<?php endforeach ?>

The only thing you need to do is replace ‘set_key’ with the ID of the set you created.

When you extract the group ( extract( $Kickstarters ) ) the array with the checked values becomes available to you as a variable ($set_key). This variable contains the keys of the checked items from the set.

Hope this works for you,
Radoslav

Worked like a charm. I owe you a five star and a resolved issue tag. Thanks a lot!

You should put that somewhere in a FAQ or something that using the extract name creates $ keys for the whole container and can be used almost like shortcodes within template design. Thanks again.
