I have a pretty complex data collection form and I'm trying to build a view to display deeply nested fields.
I have a string of nested Group fields in the form setup like this:
A. Cloneable Group 'Areas' > A.B. Cloneable Group 'Supervisor Zones' > A.C Cloneable Group 'Guards' > A.D Cloneable Group 'Locations' > User field set to multiple.
See a visual of the form here: https://snipboard.io/k09q7D.jpg
I'm trying to display info on the front end using the Views addon and I can't figure out how to display the 'User field set to multiple'. I'm assuming this requires several steps but I don't understand the instructions more than below.
Only using this doesn't work:
{% for item in clone.guard %}
{{ item.display_name }}
{% endfor %}
HOW DO I NEST THESE ITEMS INTO A STATEMENT? All I need to display is the group of Users that are listed in the last field in this sequence.
{% for post in query.posts %}
INSERT POST FIELDS HERE
{% for clone in post.areas %}
INSERT SUB-FIELDS HERE
{% endfor %}
{% for clone in clone.groups %}
INSERT SUB-FIELDS HERE
{% endfor %}
{% for clone in clone.guards %}
INSERT SUB-FIELDS HERE
{% endfor %}
{% for item in clone.guard %}
{{ item.display_name }}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Hi,
It's a very complicated group, to show the user info in that group you need more for
loops. Each cloneable group will need 2 loops, one for cloneable, one for the subfields. For example, I have a field group
function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
$prefix = '';
$meta_boxes[] = [
'title' => __( 'Post Meta', 'your-text-domain' ),
'id' => 'post-meta',
'fields' => [
[
'name' => __( 'Areas', 'your-text-domain' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'areas',
'type' => 'group',
'clone' => true,
'fields' => [
[
'name' => __( 'Zones', 'your-text-domain' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'zones',
'type' => 'group',
'clone' => true,
'fields' => [
[
'name' => __( 'Guards', 'your-text-domain' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'guards',
'type' => 'group',
'clone' => true,
'fields' => [
[
'name' => __( 'Locations', 'your-text-domain' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'locations',
'type' => 'group',
'clone' => true,
'fields' => [
[
'name' => __( 'User', 'your-text-domain' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'user',
'type' => 'user',
'field_type' => 'select_advanced',
'multiple' => true
],
],
],
],
],
],
],
],
],
],
];
return $meta_boxes;
}
the view code to get user info is
{% for clone_areas in post.areas %}
{% for clone_zones in clone_areas %}
{% for zone in clone_zones %}
{% for clone_guards in zone %}
{% for guard in clone_guards %}
{% for clone_locations in guard %}
{% for location in clone_locations %}
{% for users in location %}
{% for user in users %}
{{user.display_name}}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Hope that makes sense.
