Visibility conditions for Repeater - is first item, is last item

[StrangeTech]

We are attempting to output a simple comma separated list of authors from a repeater:

Examples:
“Author One, Author Two.”
“Author One.”

We were thinking to use prefix or suffix in the dynamic inserter for the delimiters but these don’t appear to be able to be dynamically turned on and off.

So we thought of including a separate block containing the ", " and the “.” and only show these if the item is not the last and is the last respectively.

Because there are no visibility conditions based on index / item number / first / last, this isn’t possible yet, so we are requesting these to be added.

They will be extremely versatile and be useful for a number of different use cases.

If you know of an alternative way to achieve this with Cwicly, let me know.

Also, this feature request pairs well with:

Be able to load selected repeater items

Currently it is only possible to load all repeater items, we would like to be able to load individual items or a range of items. This will be very useful for cases where you use a repeater to allow a client to more easily manage grouped indexed/ordered content within a post but still want to be able to display that content as individual items within a template. This is the current UI: [Screenshot 2023-04-12 at 13.51.47] Thanks.

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…
