[Resolved] Repeating fields for accordion

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

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to build an Accordion with our Repeatable field groups.

Solution:

This can be done using bootstrap. On your view that displays the repeatable field group just add the following.

[wpv-items-found]
	<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<div class="panel-group" id="accordion" role="tablist" aria-multiselectable="true">
		<wpv-loop>
           [wpv-item index=1]
           <div class="panel panel-default">
    <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading-[wpv-post-id]">
      <h4 class="panel-title">
        <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" href="#collapse-[wpv-post-id]" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-[wpv-post-id]">
[types field='field_slug_title'][/types]        
        </a>
      </h4>
    </div>
    <div id="collapse-[wpv-post-id]" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading-[wpv-post-id]">
      <div class="panel-body">
        [types field='field_slug_desc'][/types]
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
           [wpv-item index=other]
  <div class="panel panel-default">
    <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading-[wpv-post-id]">
      <h4 class="panel-title">
        <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" href="#collapse-[wpv-post-id]" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-[wpv-post-id]">
[types field='field_slug_title'][/types]        
        </a>
      </h4>
    </div>
    <div id="collapse-[wpv-post-id]" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading-[wpv-post-id]">
      <div class="panel-body">
                [types field='field_slug_desc'][/types]

      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
		</wpv-loop>
  </div>

	<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
	[/wpv-items-found]

Ensure that the structure remains the same and just substitute the shortcodes above with your shortcodes.

Hi,

I'm trying to display on a taxonomy archive, custom accordions using a repeatable group including:
- a title
- a description

Each accordion should be unique, i.e. some posts could have only one accordion ("learn more" for example), and some other two or three accordions. Both the title and the description should be customized depending on the post.
If no accordion is created in the post editor, nothing should be displayed.

I have followed this topic: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/use-repeating-fields-for-accordion-title-and-content/
The repeatable group is created.
The JS was inserted in the JS editor of the loop item part, in the taxonomy archive.
The function was inserted in the functions.php and the shortcode in the loop item.
But nothing appears actually...

<div id="accordion"></div> is empty

Thanks for your suggestions/help

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Would you mind providing me with admin access to the site so that I can have a look at this for you ?

The private fields will be enabled for your next response.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for the login credentials,

However i'm not seeing the accordion that you are referring to, i'm only seeing the js code for it.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Here is the code inserted in the functions.php:

function get_repeatable_field_accordion_fun ( $atts ) {
    global $post;
    // Attributes
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'field_slug_title' => '',
            'field_slug_desc' => '',
        ), $atts);
  
    $content = '<div id="accordion">';
      
    $titles = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpcf-'.$atts['field_slug_title'], false);
    for($i=0; $i < count($titles); $i++) {
         
            $content .= '<div class="accordion-group">';
                $content .= '<div class="ac-title collapsed btn btn-primary">'.do_shortcode('[types field="'.$atts['field_slug_title'].'" index="'.$i.'"][/types]').'</div>';
                $content .= '<div class="accordion-body">';
                    $content .= '<div class="well">'.do_shortcode('[types field="'.$atts['field_slug_desc'].'" index="'.$i.'"][/types]').'</div>';
                $content .= '</div>';
            $content .= '</div>';
         
    }
    $content .= '</div>';
    return $content; 
}
add_shortcode( 'get_repeatable_field_accordion', 'get_repeatable_field_accordion_fun' );

Hi Thomas,

This shortocde takes the field slug as a parameter.

I see that you haven't provided the field slug for this.

What you need to do is provide the slug of the repeatable fields like below.
[get_repeatable_field_accordion field_slug_title="day-description"]

Thanks,
Shane

#1087554

I've inserted this shortcode but the accordion still doesn't show up.

I don't understand why we use "day-description" as slug because it doesn't exist.

Hi Thomas,

I think this is probably not the best approach to do because we have code that can loop through each individual repeatable field.

I tried logging into the site again to check but it doesn't work.

However you can use our shortcode to loop through each item.

Hi Shane,

I had to change the password. Here is the new one: Bj2%awCyLwBcGq(7

I tried to use the new shortcode but it doesn't display any accordeon. Could you please have a look?

Thanks a lot

Hi Thomas,

I'm going to enable the private fields for you to send me the full credentials as well as the example page where I can find this accordion code.

What I will be doing is to use the shortcode to implement the accordion.

The private fields have been enabled.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Thomas,

I did some checking on this and it seems your field group or image field isn't a repeated image. It actually wouldn't be possible to create an accordion with this data.

Thanks,
Shane

#1089520

Hi Shane,

It's impossible to create repeating fields that are not images?

So why there was a tutorial to create accordion based on repeating fields?
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/use-repeating-fields-for-accordion-title-and-content/

Maybe Noman could give us some details on this topic?

Hi Thomas,

It should be possible but i'm not seeing where you have any repeatable fields ?

If you do could you send me 1 post that has the repeatable fields?

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Here is a video post with a repeating field "Accordion" at the bottom:

Hi Thomas,

The accordion should be working fine now.

I was able to set it up using this view here.

Because this is a repeatable field group and not just a repeatable field, then a view is required to get it working correctly.

Thanks,
Shane
