Formatted output of multiple field values

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The customer asked what is the correct format to load the content template shortcode, that gets the item attribute values from a repeating custom field.

Solution:
Guided that for the repeating field, it is best to wrap each instance of the content template shortcode inside the 'wpv-for-each' shortcode.

Why doesn´t this work?

[wpv-post-body view_template="yarpp-vorschau" item="[types field='acrh-related' format='FIELD_VALUE' separator='"][wpv-post-body view_template="yarpp-vorschau" item="'][/types]"]

THANK YOU 🙂

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The shortcode format that you've shared is not correct.

Assuming that the custom field with the slug 'yarpp-vorschau' includes the ID of the target post that you'd like to show using the content template 'yarpp-vorschau', the correct shortcode usage would be:


[wpv-post-body view_template="yarpp-vorschau" item="[types field='yarpp-vorschau'][/types]"]

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar

Yes, that´s clear.
But how do that with MULTIPLE values?

I try to get

[wpv-post-body view_template="yarpp-vorschau" item="[types field='yarpp-vorschau'][/types] "]
[wpv-post-body view_template="yarpp-vorschau" item=" [types field='yarpp-vorschau'][/types]"]

by using

"]
[wpv-post-body view_template="yarpp-vorschau" item="

that should be between the values as separator.

Why doesn´t this work?

Ok I guess the problem is that shortcuts are only rendered once?
So is there NO CHANCE to do that??
But it MUST be possible to handle multiple values?

Thanks for writing back.

In the case of a repeating field with multiple values, you can cycle through each instance, using the 'wpv-for-each' shortcode:

For example:


[wpv-for-each field="wpcf-yarpp-vorschau"]
[wpv-post-body view_template="yarpp-vorschau" item="[types field="yarpp-vorschau"][/types]"]
[/wpv-for-each]
