Tammy Hart's Reusable Custom WP Meta Boxes – Repeatable Fields

Hi,
If you didn’t solve it stll – use echo get_post_meta($post_id); to see all the meta fields, and you’ll notice that under your repeatable fields key there is a array, so use for that array, for example:

foreach($repeatable_keys as $each_key) {
   echo $each_key
}

This is just out of my head, without checking actual outputs …

I can get all of the data to output using the get_post_meta command, but i’m dead in the water after that. I see the logic of the code you’ve suggested, but instead of outputting the word “Array” I get absolutely nothing on the front end at all. Thanks for making a suggestion, though. It is genuinely appreciated!

ok, so thanks to your code i have made some progress. at this point i am at least getting the word “Array” outputting on the front end for each entry into a repeatable field on the back end.

my repeatable metabox is for a list of ingredients, and is set up like this:

array( // Repeatable & Sortable Text inputs
		'label'	=> 'Ingredients', // <label>
		'desc'	=> 'Ingredients', // description
		'id'	=> $prefix.'ingredients', // field id and name
		'type'	=> 'repeatable', // type of field
		'sanitizer' => array( // array of sanitizers with matching kets to next array
			'featured' => 'meta_box_santitize_boolean',
			'title' => 'sanitize_text_field',
			'desc' => 'wp_kses_data'
		),
		'repeatable_fields' => array ( // array of fields to be repeated
			'title' => array(
				'label' => 'Ingredient',
				'id' => 'ingredient',
				'type' => 'text'
			),
		)
	),

the code i am using to try to output the information to the front is this:

<div id="ingredients">
        		<h3>Ingredients</h3>
        			<?php
						$recipe_ingredients = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'recipe_ingredients', true); {

						echo '<ul class="custom_repeatable">';

						foreach ($recipe_ingredients as $ingredients) {
							echo '<li>'.$ingredients.'</li>';
						}

						echo '</ul>';
						}
					?>
        	</div>

My test entry in the backend only has 3 ingredients, but the result is only the word “Array” output 3 times in an unordered list.

When i call all meta info I get this as a result:

recipe_ingredients: a:3:{i:0;a:1:{s:10:”ingredient”;s:17:”1 Stick of Butter”;} i:1;a:1:{s:10:”ingredient”;s:6:”3 Eggs”;} i:2;a:1:{s:10:”ingredient”;s:12:”1/2 Cup Milk”;}}

finally, success!

<div id="ingredients">
				<h3>Ingredients</h3>
					<?php
						$recipe_ingredients = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'recipe_ingredients', true); {

						echo '<ul class="custom_repeatable">';

						foreach ($recipe_ingredients as $ingredients) {
							echo '<li>';

							foreach($ingredients as $i=>$value) {
								echo $value;
							}

							echo '</li>';

							}

						echo '</ul>';
						}
					?>
			</div>

i’m sure there are much better ways to do this, but the correct data is getting to the front end now.

many thanks anydog for pointing me in the right direction.
