all repeater fields access in a loop fail

[danielsl]

i have a page with similar repeater fields of various names, and similar output in a loop

so i really don't really want to write endless foreach repeater for rendering

but need to aggregate all repeater fields and then pass them via one foreach loop

 $repeaters=$pages->get("/advert_page/");


    foreach($repeaters->fields as $repeator){
		
	if($repeator=="title")continue;


		echo $repeator->summary;
		echo $repeator->images->first;

}

it simply doesnt work,

so i have to manually do for each repeater

$repeater=$pages->get("/advert_page/");
foreach($repeater->Media as $m) {
    echo "<img src='{$m->images->first()->size(120, 60)->url}'>";   
     echo "<p>Year built: {$m->summary} </p>";
     }
    echo '</div><div class="uk-grid uk-grid-width-medium-1-4" data-uk-grid-margin="">"';
foreach($repeater->featured as $m) {
    echo "<img src='{$m->images->first()->size(120, 60)->url}'>";   
     echo "<p>Year built: {$m->summary} </p>";

Welcome to the forums, @danielsl!

You could do this:

$p = $pages->get('/advert_page/');
$repeater_names = $p->fields->find('type=FieldtypeRepeater')->explode('name');
foreach($repeater_names as $repeater_name) {
    foreach($p->$repeater_name as $item) {
        // output your repeater item
    }
}

If you have repetitive markup that is used in several places also remember that you can put it an in an include to avoid repeating yourself.

In case you're not using it already... Tracy Debugger is a must-have for debugging.

[danielsl]

Checked it . Works fine. Thanks . 

Tracy debugger doesn't show up in my install. Latest development 3ver. 

Or I don't know how to init it

[louisstephens]

I don't believe it is a core module in processwire. However, if you go to Modules->New and paste in "TracyDebugger", you can add it to your processwire install.

installed that, was my mistake previous time,
