Problem: I would like to know how to loop over repeating field groups with PHP.
Solution:
Use the toolset_get_related_posts API. Each RFG can be accessed as a child, where the post is the parent and the relationship slug is the RFG slug.
$parent = get_post( 12345 ); // the parent post that holds the RFG
$sezioni = toolset_get_related_posts(
$parent, // the parent post
'sezioni', // the RFG slug
'parent', // the post role in this relationship is 'parent'
1000000, // the maximum number of results
0, // the offset
array(), // additional query arguments
'post_id', // return format
'child', // role to return
);
// $sezioni is now an array of post IDs for each RFG
$sez1 = get_post( $sezioni[0] ); // example, get the first Sezioni RFG ID
$pulsanti = toolset_get_related_posts(
$sez1, // the parent RFG
'pulsanti', // the RFG slug
'parent', // the sezioni role in this relationship is 'parent'
1000000, // the maximum number of results
0, // the offset
array(), // additional query arguments
'post_id', // return format
'child', // role to return
);
// $pulsanti is now an array of post IDs for each RFG in $sez1
The issue here is that the user is using the new field groups option in our Toolset Beta plugins and wanted to display the repeated groups on the frontend.
Solution:
I spoke with the development team and they said that they are working on an API for the repeatable field groups but its not quite ready as yet.
So for now we are not able to display this on the frontend.
The solution I provided was for the old method of repeatable field groups but given that you are using the Beta we currently don't have a solution for it just as yet.
We document known issues and their solutions in Toolset errata. Save time by checking there first and seeing if what you are facing is a known issue. This list is kept short. We do our best to resolve all known issues with every release of Toolset plugins.
