This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I am trying to pass a variable to the index='n' field when displaying an repeater image from a custom post type. I am using [incrementor] shortcode that returns the number in the view loop.
Solution:
I have registered [incrementor] shortcode in website and now it is working as expected.
Basically to use custom shortcode, you need to register the shortcode first in Toolset >> Settings >> Front-end Content >> Third-party shortcode arguments. Screenshot here:

Hi Jon,
Thank you for contacting Toolset Support. You can use repeating fields to display multiple images using the interface options of Toolset Types & Views, please see attached screenshot.
1. Can you please more clarify that why you want to achieve this using code? Or if I am not getting you right can you please provide step by step details that what you want to achieve? (preferably with back-end screenshots).
2. What you expected to see on the front page?
3. What you actually see right now (preferably with front-end screenshot or Link to page)?
Thank you
Yes,
I have a CPT called 'posters' and one of the fields is a multi instance image field called 'poster artwork'.
I am trying to display all the products that the customer can purchase for this poster.
Each instance of this 'poster artwork' field contains an image of a mockup of what the poster will look like if purchased. (In order - main, poster medium, mug, poster small.)
The content template of the CPT 'posters' includes a view that shows all the woocommerce products associated to this type of poster.
I wish to display the 'poster artwork' in each instance of these products. Refer "Front end.jpg". As you can see, this is displaying the products perfectly, however, the index of the 'poster artwork' is static and not dynamic, and is only showing the same image.
I would have thought this would have been achieved by allowing the index='n' attribute of the field to be passed a variable. This does not work. This seems odd as id='n' attribute accepts a dynamic variable.
"Back end.jpg" shows my view displaying the products associated with Content Template of the CPT 'posters'.
As you can see, I'm using a shortcode called [incrementor] that simply counts the number of elements in the view. It produces the number next to the product in the "Front end.jpg"
I would have thought that I could put this [incrementor] into the "types field" line to achieve the result I'm hoping for...
Currently:
[types field='poster-artwork' size='shop_catalog' align='none' resize='proportional' id='$current_page' index='1'][/types]
This does not work:
[types field='poster-artwork' size='shop_catalog' align='none' resize='proportional' id='$current_page' index='[incrementor]'][/types]
My result will be achieved if the index attribute can accept a dynamic variable.
Hope this is clearer.
Hello Jon,
I have debugged this issue and find the cause of the problem.
1. I have registered [incrementor] shortcode in your website and now it is working as expected. Please check here: hidden link
2. Basically to use custom shortcode, you need to register the shortcode first in Toolset >> Settings >> Front-end Content >> Third-party shortcode arguments (see attached screenshot)
Thank you
