Shortcode

New in this release

  • Adds nested field names.
  • Adds subfield support in ACF loops.
  • Adds subfield support in Repeater and Flexible Content Shortcodes of Beaver Builder.

The WordPress shortcode allows you to insert tables into the WordPress editor content and into shortcode fields of Page Builders.

Parameters

[tablefieldpro field="" post_id="" table_class=""]
    • field=""
    • (string)

    • Simply the table field name. When the table field has parent fields then you can give the field name path like parent_field_name/table_field_name. You can use a field key or start a path with a field key, but the other items in the path must be field names.

    • subfield=""
    • (string)

    • For use of the shortcode in a ACF Repeater or Flexible Content field loop. When subfield is used, field="" gets obsolete. When the table field is a subfield then you can give the field name path like parent_field_name/table_field_name.

    • post_id=""
    • (optional) (mixed)
    • Defaults: Defaults to false, which will use the current post.

    • The post ID where the value is saved.

A parent field is usualy of type “Group” but can also a “Repeater” and “Flexible Content”. These can also be nested. See patterns below.

Get a table from a Repeater item

Shortcode

[tablefieldpro field="repeater_field_name/{item_index}/table_field_name"]

With this variant, a table field of a specific repeater entry can be output. The item_index is a number corresponding to the repeater entry position starting at zero.

Get a table within a Repeater or Flexible Content field loop

Shortcode

[tablefieldpro subfield="table_field_name"]

Some page builders allow shortcodes to be used within an ACF Flexible Layout or Repeater item. Sometimes page builders provides also shortcodes for ACF Flexible Content and Repeaters. In this situation, this shortcode can output a table.
