[IF] conditions with ACF repeater fields

    I am trying to use the [if] shortcode to check if a repeater sub field is filled, and if so display data from another repeater sub field.

    This is my repeater field along with sub fields:
    https://take.ms/Tabcs

    And this is my code in it’s current form:

    [loop type="afdeling" id="3160"]
Mandag [if repeater field="monday" sub="closed" value=""]Lukket[else][repeater field="monday" sub="from"] - [repeater field="monday" sub="to"][/if]
[/loop]

    Should that not work?

    I want to display the text “Lukket” if the sub-field “closed” is TRUE, and the value from sub-field “from” and “to” if sub-field “closed” is FALSE.

    This feature doesn’t exist yet, to check a repeater sub field’s value with [if]. I’ll make a note to include it in the next update, and will let you know when it’s ready.

    Sounds good. I’ll look forward to it.

    I found out there is already a feature to do this.

    Because it’s a repeater field, it’s necessary to loop though all repeated fields to check it’s sub-field. For a boolean (true/false) field, you can check if it’s true by comparing it to “1”.

    [loop type="afdeling" id="3160"]
  Mandag
  [repeater monday]
    [if field="closed" value="1"]Lukket[else][field from] - [field to][/if]
  [/repeater]
[/loop]

    However, this will repeat for each monday field – which I don’t imagine is your intention. Perhaps I’m not seeing why it’s repeater field in the first place..?

    This seems to work. Thank you so much ??

    Oh, and the reason it’s a repeater field is because it’s the only way I could think of, that would allow me to create a backend like this https://take.ms/mbybG.
    Also it gives me the option to have multiple opening hours a day, if that’s what I want.

    That’s interesting to see how you’ve set up the backend using the repeater field. Thanks for sharing.

    Glad to hear you’ve been able to display the data as needed.

    I think I’ll add some more examples to the documentation about ACF fields: how to check the value of a true/false field and a repeater sub field.
