Output ACF repeater on user’s profile page

    Hi,
    I use ACF Pro repeater field to add custom fields to the user profile page. Now I’d like to output that data on the frontend (using a shortcode). However I cannot make this happen. When I place the repeater field on a page it shows up nicely – but not on the user’s page (location: user form > equal > add/edit). This is what I have:

    function acf_repeater() {
  um_fetch_user( get_current_user_id() ); {
   if( have_rows('repeater-name') ):
    while ( have_rows('repeater-name') ) : the_row();
     the_sub_field('sub-field-name');
    endwhile;
   else :
  endif;
 }	
}
add_shortcode('acf_repeater_shortcode', 'acf_repeater');

    Any tips?

    Hi @osiak

    Could you please try this code snippet:

    function acf_repeater() {
   $user_id = get_current_user_id();

   if( have_rows('repeater-name',"user_{$user_id}" ) ):
    while ( have_rows('repeater-name', "user_{$user_id}" ) ) : the_row();
     the_sub_field('sub-field-name');
    endwhile;
   else :
  endif;
 }	
}
add_shortcode('acf_repeater_shortcode', 'acf_repeater');

    This showed the output on top of the page. This modification puts it in the right place:

    function acf_repeater() {

   $user_id = get_current_user_id();
ob_start();
   if( have_rows('repeater-name',"user_{$user_id}" ) ):
    while ( have_rows('repeater-name', "user_{$user_id}" ) ) : the_row();
     the_sub_field('sub-field-name');
    endwhile;
   else :
  endif;
$output = ob_get_clean();
    return $output;
}
add_shortcode('acf_repeater_shortcode', 'acf_repeater');

    However when I have more than one row in the repeater, the subfields appear one ofter another. Now I have a problem with making it somehow appear as a table, especially that I want to output more subfields.

    Hi @osiak

    Could you please provide a screenshot of the current output? If possible, a short clip so I can see the issue and try to replicate it on our end.

    Ok, I expanded on the code using the Advanced loop described here: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/repeater/

    I wanted to have the output as a nice table, similar to the backend.
    This is what I used which worked beautifly (in my code I added classes to the table to style it):

    function acf_repeater() {

   $user_id = get_current_user_id();
   ob_start(); ?>
   <?php if( have_rows('repeater-name',"user_{$user_id}" ) ): ?>

	<table>
	   <tr>
	   	<td>Header1:</td><td">Header2:</td><td>Header3:</td><td>Header4:</td>
		</tr>

	<?php while ( have_rows('repeater-name', "user_{$user_id}" ) ) : the_row(); 

		// vars
		$subfieldname1 = get_sub_field('sub-field-name-1');
		$subfieldname2 = get_sub_field('sub-field-name-2');
		$subfieldname3 = get_sub_field('sub-field-name-3');
		$subfieldname4 = get_sub_field('sub-field-name-3');

	?>
	   <tr>
	      <td><?php echo $subfieldname1; ?></td><td><?php echo $subfieldname2; ?></td><td><?php echo $subfieldname3; ?></td><td><?php echo $subfieldname4; ?></td>
	   </tr>
		

	<?php endwhile; ?>

	</table>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php $output = ob_get_clean();
    return $output;
}
add_shortcode('acf_repeater_shortcode', 'acf_repeater');
