    Hey,
    I’m trying to add a single select field to the loop. Not sure how to do it.

    This is what I have. I know it’s wrong.

    (BTW, Great plugin!!)

    $fields = CFS()->get('resources');
	                     foreach ($fields as $field) { ?>

 <?php .$values = CFS()->get('resource_type');
foreach ($values as $value => $label) {
    echo '<td>' . $value . '</td>';
}
?>
	                     <?php echo '<td><a href="'.$field['resource_link'].'">'.$field['resource_title'].'</a></td></tr>'; ?>

	                  <?php   }  ?>

    Use var_dump on $fields to find out how the data is being stored. If “resources” is a loop, then all field values are within it. You don’t need separate get() calls.

    var_dump( $fields );

    I’m not sure I follow. How would I call the field then?

    OK. I just did the var_dump. Basically, I want to be able to echo array(1)

    Hmm. I didn’t think this issue was resolved.

    Just posting the resolution here for anyone else who needs it.

    <?php
/*
    A loop field named "gallery" with sub-fields "slide_title", "upload" and a select called file_type.
*/
$fields = CFS()->get('gallery');
foreach ($fields as $field) {
    echo $field['slide_title'];
    echo $field['upload'];
    echo current($field[file_type]);
}
?>

    Since the select field “file_type” returns an array, using current will allow you to display the first item in the array.

    This solution only works for a select box where only one item can be chosen.

    Thanks @ mrspabs!
    Your solution worked for me!
