Hi
I'm trying to output a repeating group of fields in a page template. I'm attempting to allow the client to add multiple rows to their page, in three types (regular, image, two column) - these are selectable by radio button in the custom fields. I've tried the following but it's returning nothing, can you help?

<?php
$child_posts = toolset_get_related_posts( get_the_ID(), 'page-content', array( 'query_by_role' => 'parent', 'return' => 'post_object' ) );
foreach ($child_posts as $child_post)
{ ?>

<?php $paneltype = types_render_field("panel-type", array("raw"=>"true"));
if ($paneltype == 'regular') {
// Show Regular Panel ?>

<?php echo types_render_field( "panel-title", array( "id" => "$child_post->ID" )); ?>
<?php echo types_render_field( "panel-content", array( "id" => "$child_post->ID" )); ?>

<?php } elseif ($paneltype == 'image') {
// Show Image Panel ?>

<?php echo types_render_field( "panel-image", array( "id" => "$child_post->ID" )); ?>

<?php } elseif ($paneltype == 'two-column') {
// Show Two Column Panel ?>

<?php echo types_render_field( "panel-left", array( "id" => "$child_post->ID" )); ?>
<?php echo types_render_field( "panel-right", array( "id" => "$child_post->ID" )); ?>

<?php } else {
// Show Nothing ?>

<?php }?>

<?php }?>

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - can you please share problem URL and access details as well as path to your PHP tempalte file where you added the above code.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Hi, the site is in development on my local machine. It isn't available online yet.

Well - can you share screenshot of your repeatable field group (please take screenshot so that I can see all fields configurations) as well as one screenshot of edit post screen where this repeating field group is displayed?

Based on that I will try to share solution.

Hi, thanks. Screenshots attached.

Ok great - thank you.

Can you do one thing, go to: Toolset => Export / Import
- on Types tab export the Types data and send me that file.

Please upload that file to google drive and share the link to download it.

Thank you for sharing all informationn.

Well - Please try to use the following code:

There were couple of issues, you were passing id argument to types_render_field() function as "$child_post->ID" but it should be passed without quotes $child_post->ID.

I fixed all those little things and please try to use the following code and confirm it works as expected.

$child_posts = toolset_get_related_posts(
    get_the_ID(),
    'page-content',
    'parent',
    1000,
    0,
    array(),
    'post_object',
    'child');
	
	

foreach ($child_posts as $child_post){


$paneltype = types_render_field("panel-type", array("raw"=>"true",'id'=>$child_post->ID));

if ($paneltype == 'regular') {

// Show Regular Panel
 echo types_render_field( "panel-title", array( "id" => $child_post->ID )); 
 echo types_render_field( "panel-content", array( "id" => $child_post->ID )); 
 
 } elseif ($paneltype == 'image') {

 // Show Image Panel 

 echo types_render_field( "panel-image", array( "id" => $child_post->ID ));

 } elseif ($paneltype == 'two-column') {
// Show Two Column Panel 

 echo types_render_field( "panel-left", array( "id" => $child_post->ID )); 
 echo types_render_field( "panel-right", array( "id" => $child_post->ID )); 

} else {
// Show Nothing 

}

}

It's okay, I got it working. I'd missed out passing ("id" => "$child_post->ID") to the $paneltype variable.

For the record, the full code with layout HTML is below.

<?php
$child_posts = toolset_get_related_posts( get_the_ID(), 'page-content', array( 'query_by_role' => 'parent', 'return' => 'post_object' ) );
foreach ($child_posts as $child_post)
{ ?>

<?php $paneltype = types_render_field("panel-type", array("id" => "$child_post->ID"));
if ($paneltype == 'regular') {
// Show Regular Panel ?>

<div style="background: <?php echo types_render_field( "panel-colour", array( "id" => "$child_post->ID", "raw" => "true" )); ?>">
<div class="row">
<div class="content-regular">
<h2><?php echo types_render_field( "panel-title", array( "id" => "$child_post->ID" )); ?></h2>
<?php echo types_render_field( "panel-content", array( "id" => "$child_post->ID" )); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<?php } elseif ($paneltype == 'image') {
// Show Image Panel ?>

<div class="content-image" style="background-image: url(<?php echo types_render_field( "panel-image", array( "id" => "$child_post->ID", "raw" => "true" )); ?>);">
<div class="row">
<div class="small-12 columns">
<h2><?php echo types_render_field( "panel-title", array( "id" => "$child_post->ID" )); ?></h2>
<?php echo types_render_field( "panel-content", array( "id" => "$child_post->ID" )); ?>
</div>
</div>

</div>

<?php } elseif ($paneltype == 'two-column') {
// Show Two Column Panel ?>

<div class="row">
<div class="small-12 medium-6 columns">
<?php echo types_render_field( "panel-left", array( "id" => "$child_post->ID" )); ?>
</div>
<div class="small-12 medium-6 columns">
<?php echo types_render_field( "panel-right", array( "id" => "$child_post->ID" )); ?>
</div>
</div>

<?php } else {
// Show Nothing ?>

<?php }?>

<?php }?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
