How to return a value from a variable without any spaces?

How To
1

Hi guys

Trying to return the values to use as IDs, but sometimes there are 2 words. How can I remove the spaces please?

I’ve tried something like this, but using {echo:stripped_weight_name} returned nothing sadly.

function stripped_weight_name() {
$text = get_sub_field(‘species_by_weight_name’, ‘option’);
$stripped_text = str_replace(’ ', ‘’, $text); // Replace spaces with an empty string
return $stripped_text;
}

// whitelist bricks echo

add_filter( ‘bricks/code/echo_function_names’, function() {
return [
‘stripped_weight_name’,
];
} );

Also tried things like :value :raw etc.

@aslotta Any idea at all dude? You’re usually pretty hot with this kinda stuff, haha.

Hey @robp,

your function looks ok if it’s just spaces to replace. But it is not working? What does it return instead?

Why are you using get_sub_field (instead of get_field) though? Are you fetching from an ACF repeater?

Best,

André

Thanks dude. It was a sub field in a ACF repeater you see that I needed the value of.

I was hoping bricks {} had a way to return the value without spaces, or a hook I could add perhaps, but couldn’t find much.

It essentially wasn’t returning anything - and when I changed it to check if rows etc. it then returned EVERY result in that repeater, haha.

Thanks

@robp Can you maybe share a link (or even better) a temporary login to the site? I think the answer depends a lot on the total context. So some more insights would help a lot. :slight_smile:

Yeah Course thank you.

That’s the page Brixham Fish Market - Trawler Agents - Operating the premier fish auction in England. We supply fuel and ice to fishing and commercial vessels - I am using the item in the frames accordion, and trying to add an attribute to it for the ID to be grabbed from the ACF field :slight_smile: It’s actually working - I just really need it without spaces.

The details will vanish once you view that URL FYI.

For anybody looking, André sorted this for me:

add_filter('acf/load_field/name=boat_name', 'acf_load_hake_field');

function stripped_weight_name() {
    $loop_object = \Bricks\Query::get_loop_object();
    // return str_replace(' ', '', $loop_object['species_by_weight_name'] );
    return sanitize_title( $loop_object['species_by_weight_name'] );
}

(then obviously you must whitelist the function in Bricks)

add_filter( 'bricks/code/echo_function_names', function() {
    return [
        'stripped_weight_name',
    ];
} );
