ACF Fields & Dynamic Content

[rotor]

Hi
I try to display some ACF taxonomy terms and selection fields (multiple selection) using dynamic content in a paragraph. Whatever Return value settings I choose in the ACF settings I always get comma separated Id’s (taxonomy term fields) and ‘Array’ (in selection fields).
In both cases I would like to see termname1, termname2, … or selectionname1, selectionname 2.
Can I achieve this somehow?

Hi @rotor,

Please see the Cwicly Taxonomy Terms block which is ideal for this and gives you a great deal of flexibility.

Here is a tip that demonstrates how you can do this for Taxonomy Terms as well as for Repeater fields:

Creating a comma separated list using a Taxonomy Terms or Repeater block

As we have used it multiple times in our projects and some people have enquired about it, I want to share a re-usable solution for creating a comma separated list of terms. This will work well with either a Repeater or Taxonomy Terms block. Pre-requisites: You will already have either added an ACF Repeater field or associated a taxonomy containing appropriate terms to the post type you want to display it for. Steps: In your query or template, add a Repeater block or Taxonomy Terms block. Wi…

Hi @StrangeTech
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this detailed and very helpful workaround. I’m super grateful for this. Saves my day and a lot of time Cheers!

Rendering ACF taxonomy fields, select fields (multiple) can also be achieved by using the filter hooks acf/format_value/type=taxonomy or acf/format_value/type=taxonomy. In the fields settings, set return value to ‘ID’ and in cwicly use paragraph block’s dynamic value button and fill in the acf field settings. Use ‘current post’ under location. Example filter hook (for taxonomy):

add_filter('acf/format_value/type=taxonomy', function( $value, $post_id, $field ) {
    $ts = '';
    if( is_array( $value ) ) {
        foreach( $value as $val ) {
            $ts .= get_term( $val )->name . ', '; 
        }
        return substr( $ts, 0 , -2);
   } else { return $value; }
}, 10, 3);
