Description
This function is deprecated. Please use the have_rows() function instead.
This function is used within a while-loop to loop through each row of a Flexible Content field.
Unlike have_rows(), this function will take a step through the available rows each time it is called, causing undesired results when also used within an if-statment.
Parameters
the_flexible_field( $field_name, $post_id );
$field_name(string) (Required) The name of the Flexible Content field to be retrieved. e.g. ‘content’$post_id(mixed) (Optional) The post ID where the value is saved. Defaults to the current post.
Return
(bool) True if a row exists.
Change Log
- Deprecated in version 3.3.4
- Added in version 3.1.0
Requirements
- Flexible Content field Add-on version 1.0.0 or later.
Example
This example demonstrates how to loop through a Flexible Content field called “content” and display various layouts.
<?php while( the_flexible_field("content") ): ?>
<?php if( get_row_layout() == "paragraph" ): ?>
<div>
<?php the_sub_field("content"); ?>
</div>
<?php elseif( get_row_layout() == "file" ): ?>
<div>
<a href="<?php the_sub_field("file"); ?>" ><?php the_sub_field("name"); ?></a>
</div>
<?php elseif( get_row_layout() == "featured_posts" ): ?>
<div>
<h2><?php the_sub_field("title"); ?></h2>
<?php the_sub_field("content"); ?>
<?php if( get_sub_field("posts") ): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( get_sub_field("posts") as $p ): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($p->ID); ?>"><?php echo get_the_title($p->ID); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
