[Support request] ACF options in footer element

[Dan]

Hi
I would like to have an ACF repeater in a footer layout element.
This is so the editor can manage the footer links via an ACF repeater in the ACF options page.
IS there an option to call ACF options and a repeater via the custom field of an element?
Or would the way to do it is to create a shortcode out of the options created ACF repeater and add that shortcode into the footer element?

Thanks!
Dan

Hi there,

you would need to create a shortcode. GP Dynamic Data options doesn’t support arrays / repeater fields.

Thanks David.
Do dynamic elements text fields (heading for example) support entering a shortcode (rather than a custom field name)?

You can add shortcodes to a Headline Block like it were any static content.

Hi David, in the above post in March you said “doesnt support arrays/repeater fields” …. any chance this is in the plan?

[David]

Hi there,

it will be something we build into a future GenerateBlocks Pro release.
GB 1.5 is already adding Dynamic Data, and the Pro updates will include stuff like ACF fields 🙂

Super. Really look forward to this. Thanks!

We are too 🙂
