[@METANAnima]

that was really nice and helpful, helped me get the complete concept of acf groups and repeaters.

[@thegeomaster]

Fabulous... I've adapted it to create a gallery showing video containers, as there is no way to show "archive" type fields created with ACF in Elementor.

[@heinvanvlastuin4954]

I like your approach. This is a very realistic approach.

[@websquadron]

Glad you liked it!

[@WordStudioAI]

Thank you! Very helpful. I am looking for a way to do this with a repeater field with oembeds repeating. That way I can make a video gallery/grid.

[@akshaysrivastavaofficial]

It is a shame that Elementor Pro has not yet added the support to repeater field and AVIF image for Lightbox.

[@hainp1406]

I have added okay, but there are 10 or more. How to Paginate using Ajax? Looking forward to sharing.

[@jomotioncreative]

This worked like a charm! Question: I created multiple shortcodes to use (text, image, WYSIWYG fields) and added to an Elemetor template and is pulling in correctly. The problem is when I add additional rows (content) - it stacks the fields, as opposed to creating an entirely new section of my repeater fields/ layout. Do I have to wrap all of these shortcodes in a main container so they don't stack on top of each other? or am I missing something else? thanks!

[@websquadron]

Possibly yes, or set it as a row.

[@RobLicopoli]

Thank you for this!

[@webwithwaleed]

Pro tip use chatgpt to style the output or basically do anything what you need i do it for myself and its amazing i want the output data to be inside a box blalalalal and the caht gpt did a great job

Thanks, Imran! Really helpful

You're welcome!

[@fredrikolsson4080]

Should it also work for all kind of templates? For example a product archive template instead of a post type template? I can't get it to work with product archive template.

[@websquadron]

I'll have to test it, but it should

[@specmedianz]

Great Video mate, could this be done using font awesome icons like a tick or check? Appreciate this, it's a much cleaner way, I've been using Dynamic ooo to achieve it and only using that plugin for the reapeater. Now I can avoid that particular plugin :)

[@websquadron]

Hmmmm, not thought of that, I'll have to check.

[@justindouglas3659]

Hey could you do one where you create a custom acf field for phone numbers??? Since i know acf doesnm't have that option / field in free or pro version.

[@websquadron]

You could use the number field or telephone - and then when you show it on Elementor - maybe add tel: before it. I think…

[@sallamkashif]

can we do this with Flexible Content?

[@ExWest]

This is awesome. One question though. I have a file field that is supposed to be shown by a text link. You can click it and download a PDF. I got that to work but now it shows up even when there is nothingg uploaded. Any help?

[@azrakadric8597]

Amazing, thank you! In my case, i had a repeater field with 2 subfields. This is how I displayed both of them and assigned them css classes for further css writing.
add_shortcode('show-required', 'dnlt_show_required');
function dnlt_show_required() {
$pageID = get_the_ID(); // not required if within loop, but doesn't hurt
$content = '';
if (have_rows('subjects_studied', $pageID)) {
while (have_rows('subjects_studied', $pageID)) {
the_row();
$content .= '' . get_sub_field('yourfieldname1') . '
' . get_sub_field('yourfieldname2') . '';
}
}
return $content;
}

[@websquadron]

Impressive :)

Also, for a table display (additional code snippet is made)
add_shortcode('show-repeater-table-view', 'dnlt_show_repeater_table_view');
function dnlt_show_repeater_table_view() {
$pageID = get_the_ID(); // not required if within loop, but doesn't hurt
$content = '';
if (have_rows('subjects_studied', $pageID)) {
$content .= '


NAME OF YOUR TABLE HEADER FIELD 1
NAME OF YOUR TABLE HEADER FIELD 2
NAME OF YOUR TABLE HEADER FIELD 3';
while (have_rows('subjects_studied', $pageID)) {
the_row();
$content .= '

}
$content .= '';

return $content;

[@YuukaleNarmo02]

How can I do this with nested repeaters? This seems the most elusive to achieve

[@websquadron]

Hmmmm... will need a think about that.

[@YuukaleNarmo02]

@@websquadron right now I'm trying to deal with the following situation:
Event repeater field
-> Sponsors repeater field
-> -> sponsor post object
This post object is a custom post type that also has acf fields, such as an img field called "logo"
I need to show the "logo" field of that post object dynamically (as there'll be multiple sponsors and their logos per event)

[@valeraabramchuk6322]

Thanks very helpful.
Is it possible to output images from a repeater?

[@valeraabramchuk6322]

solved it with the following code
add_shortcode('show-required', 'dnlt_show_required');
function dnlt_show_required() {
$pageID = get_the_ID();
$content = '';
if (have_rows('icon', $pageID)) {
while (have_rows('icon', $pageID)) {
the_row();
$image = get_sub_field('icon-image');
if( !empty( $image ) ) {
$content .= '';
}
}
}
return $content;
}

[@websquadron]

Good question, not tried that myself.

[@robertostringa9254]

Does it not work when used inside the Loop grid?

[@websquadron]

It should work

Or you could use Breakdance or Bricks that both handle the Repeater Field Natively.

[@SebastianPerezG]

What a flaw of elementor .... you support ACF but not all the fields ??? also this happens in the pro version of elementor. Is Horrible.
Also , elementor doesn't have a simple table widget , why ???

[@websquadron]

I'm sure they'll roll out some support for the other ACF fields soon. As for the Table Widget, it's easier to add with HTML but I hear what you're saying. I can't speak for why they haven't added in Table widgets.

[@Elsteck]

Hmm, I have been waiting 5 years for Elementor to support the other ACF fields now, have given up @@websquadron

[@SebastianPerezG]

@@websquadron I saw many github requests telling that and i don't know why they do not do that, also you can't see any grouped fields.

[@multa7053]

@@SebastianPerezG There's lots of things that are needed. Best example is a submenu that's active (aka. you have clicked on it). When that's the case, the menu doesn't show the selected menu item as active. Why? No idea. Makes no sense honestly.

[@SebastianPerezG]

@@multa7053 Yes , i mean , i think Brick has better support on this , Elementor has some features that do not care to anyone and they are pointless , like the Curve text ... how many websites are you gonna use this?
Also they have a very horrible the support on creating a custom widget for elementor, i mean they don't have a good example on how to use the entire library also very few tutorials explaining how to make one and the ones are very limited or basic.
