[Resolved] Can't Change Separator Using Types API for Repeating Checkbox

[Author]

I have a custom field with the slug 'facility-offerings'. The checkbox values contain html like this:

<div class="column"><i class="fa fa-circle-thin fa-2x"></i><br />Information Not Available<br /><br /></div>

Using the types API I am using:

types_render_field( 'facility-offerings', array('output'=>'raw','separator'=>';') );

On the front end, the html displays OK, but no matter what I set the 'separator value to, it displays commas. In other words the separator setting is NOT working no matter what.

I've tried many ways, removing it and no luck.

Hi Vince,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

I was able to replicate this issue and have reported it to our development team.

Hopefully there will be a fix for this soon.

Thanks,

Thanks for following up.

What is the ETA for this fix?

I expect the fix very soon as it is a core API function and influences a visitor facing aspect of my website.

Hello,

Please check today's release. I couldn't reproduce the issue in Types 1.9.1.

Using 1.9.1 I still have the issue.

I need to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site in order to be offering better help. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.

Adriano,

I absolutely will not provide access to my public facing site. You will be able to replicate the issue with the information I provide below:

The field is a Checkboxes field. Two fields for you to use in testing:

Title: Not Available
Value to Store: <div class="column"><i class="fa fa-circle-thin fa-2x"><br />Information Not Available<br /><br /></div>

Title: Bar
Value to Store: <div class="column"><i class="fa fa-glass fa-2x"> <br />Bar<br /><br /></div>

Then in my php file for rendering a single post of that custom post type this code is used:

$facilityofferings = types_render_field( "facility-offerings", array("output"=>"raw","separator" => "") );

<?php echo $facilityofferings; ?>

No matter what I put in the separator field, it always displays a comma between each output.

Hello,

I've run the following permutations and the results can be viewed attached:

echo types_render_field( 'checkbox-test',array( "separator" => " : " ) );
echo types_render_field( 'checkbox-test',array( "separator" => " :) " ) );
echo types_render_field( 'checkbox-test',array( "separator" => " - " ) );

Try to update your Types to 1.9.1.

[vinceA]

I am on 1.9.1

The test details I provided and what you tested are two different things.

I've found the issue. This works:

types_render_field( "facility-offerings", array("separator" => "") );

This doesn't:

types_render_field( "facility-offerings", array("output"=>"raw","separator" => "") );
