Advanced Custom Fields: Font Awesome Field

I have created a page_option with a repeat of icons but when I perform a loop, and I want to rescue the value of the icon it simply ignores it, how do I rescue the value of the icon, help me with an example I would be very grateful

Niche issue with ACF FontAwesome plugin - need to emulate {term_id} in PHP

This plugin: Allows me to have an icon picker for my categories. I have a TERMS query loop - which gets all parent categories. I want to list them with the icon and term name. I can get the term with bricks fields. I can get a custom category desc with ACF field - but Bricks doesn’t list the icon field - it just ignores it. I want to work-around this with custom code - because - get_field(‘category_icon’, ‘category_22’); gets the icon fine. But I have no idea how to get the ID of the categ…

It’s because the FA plugin instantiates its fields ‘the old way’ - so Bricks can’t find it. I fixed it with some PHP.
$term_id = \Bricks\Query::get_loop_object_id();
Gives you the post (or term etc.) ID - you can use with get_field(); to get the icon. My code block looked like this:

<?php $term_id = \Bricks\Query::get_loop_object_id(); $iconFetch = "term_" . $term_id; $term_icon = get_field( 'mmenu_icon', $iconFetch ); echo '

'; ?>

But you could create a function in a code block or functions.php - and call it from there with {echo:function_name()} in the Bricks query field.

Hey @digismith - Hope your week is going well! This is awesome and literally solves one of the biggest (might seem minor to most) issues we’ve had for clients who want custom icons to use for post loops!

Thanks for this!
