Hi Toolset support,

I'm trying to display fields from a repeater field group with PHP but i don't know how to do this.. Can you share a small example?

Thanks,
Menno

Oh this might work :):

<?php 
$child_posts = toolset_get_related_posts( get_the_ID(), 'employee-experience', array( 'query_by_role' => 'parent', 'return' => 'post_object' ) );
foreach ($child_posts as $child_post) 
{ ?>
          
<div class="car-listing">
    <h5><?php echo $child_post->post_title; ?></h5>
    <?php echo types_render_field( "work-experience-function", array( "id"=> "$child_post->ID")); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>

Hi Menno

That's right, each group of repeatable fields is stored in a child post, so if a post has 3 groups of repeatable fields then that post will be connected to 3 child posts which each store the field values.

So you use the relationships API, specifically the function toolset_get_related_posts to get the child posts, and you then iterate over those to get and output the field values as required.

Just a note of caution, the solution in your first link is from an older implementation of the toolset_get_related_posts function, you should review the documentation for the current version (which your code sample uses).

https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/post-relationships-api/#toolset_get_related_posts

The "relationship slug" for repeatable field groups will be the slug of the repeatable field group.
