1,956 PointsACR Repeater - Alternating Content
Hi Guys,
I've got a tricky one here, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way of adding alternating content to a repeater field in wordpress.
I've got a simple 2-column layout where the image is either on the left of the copy or the right.
I was hoping to alternate this when displayed on the page. I know it's going to rely upon odd and even numbers - just can't find the exact syntax.
Hope you can help.
Many thanks, Jake

22,291 PointsI've done something similar to this before by adding another field (radio) to the repeater field called 'alignment' and give this two options: 'left' and 'right', and when you're adding content make sure you're giving each entry the appropriate alignment.
Then in your template you can use a conditional:
<?php if ( (get_sub_field('alignment')) == 'Right' ) { echo 'tablet-push-60 grid-40 push-60'; } ?>
I used this code because I was using the Unsemantic Grid, but you could echo out whatever class you need to make the page display correctly, one for the image on the left and one for the image on the right.
I hope that makes sense ...
