[Resolved] Views inside a cred generic field

Hello,

I have a Cred and wants to use a Views to define the select options for a generic field. Here is my code :

[cred_generic_field field='port-dattache' post='product' type='select' value='' class='' urlparam='']
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"default":[],
"options":[{"value":"","label":"Choisissez le port"}, [wpv-view name="liste-des-ports"]]
}
[/cred_generic_field]

With this code, nothing is displayed. Now, if I replace the Views with the Views result, then, this is working fine. Here the code for this :

[cred_generic_field field='port-dattache' post='product' type='select' value='' class='' urlparam='']
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"default":[],
"options":[{"value":"","label":"Choisissez le port"}, {"value":"Carquelane","label":"Carquelane"} ,{"value":"Cannes","label":"Cannes"} ,{"value":"Antibes","label":"Antibes"}]
}
[/cred_generic_field]

I have also checked that the Views result is exactly this :
{"value":"Carquelane","label":"Carquelane"} ,{"value":"Cannes","label":"Cannes"} ,{"value":"Antibes","label":"Antibes"}

Here is the Views code :
<wpv-loop>
[wpv-item index=1]{"value":"[wpv-post-title]","label":"[wpv-post-title]"}[wpv-item index=other],{"value":"[wpv-post-title]","label":"[wpv-post-title]"}
</wpv-loop>

Any idea on how this should works. For info, I have already used this kind of Cred selection using a Views in another site and this was working. So, I'm not sure if I miss something or Toolset has made some evolution in the code?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Could you please try to add following code to your functions.php file.

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_wpv_view_shortcode_output', 'prefix_clean_view_output', 5, 2 );
   
function prefix_clean_view_output( $out, $id ) {
    if ( $id == '123' ) {
        $start = strpos( $out, '<!-- wpv-loop-start -->' );
        if ( 
            $start !== false
            && strrpos( $out, '<!-- wpv-loop-end -->', $start ) !== false
        ) {
            $start = $start + strlen( '<!-- wpv-loop-start -->' );
            $out = substr( $out , $start );
            $end = strrpos( $out, '<!-- wpv-loop-end -->' );
            $out = substr( $out, 0, $end );
        }
    }
    return $out;
}

Please replace 123 with the problem view's ID, and test again.

Hi Minesh,

Thanks a lot, that solved my issue.
Can you explain a little more and tell me if this is something that will be covered by a new version of Toolset plugins?
