[Resolved] Iterate a number of times

Hello,

- I have a custom field with a numeric value, from 1 to 5
- I want to iterate that number of times and output stars within a Content Template

So for example if a post has a value of 3, I want to output <img src="star.gif"> three times.

Something like:

loop n + 1 until n = {custom field value}

This is the closest I have found after one hour searching: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/incremental-row-numbers-in-views/#post-31061 ... however this solution will loop for each post, whereas I actually need it to loop a set number of times, as determined by a custom field in each post.

Can you please advise?

Many thanks

Dear Hector,

I suggest you try with shortcode [wpv-conditional], like this,
check if the custom field value is 1, then display 1 star image
check if the custom field value is 2, then display 2 star images
check if the custom field value is 3, then display 3 star images
...
Since there are only 5 options, so it should be able to setup easily.
