Title: Display Array Values? Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Display Array Values? * Resolved [sactobla](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sactobla/) * (@sactobla) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-array-values/) * Great plugin that does what I need, but I can’t figure out how to display the values of an array, such as the one below. Can you help? * ``` "actions": [ { "date": "2009-02-25 00:00:00", "action": "Read first time. To print.", "type": [ "bill:introduced", "bill:reading:1" ], "actor": "lower (Desk)" }, { "date": "2009-02-26 00:00:00", "action": "From printer. May be heard in committee March 28.", "type": [ "other" ], "actor": "lower (Desk)" }, { "date": "2009-03-23 00:00:00", "action": "Referred to Com. on HEALTH.", "type": [ "committee:referred" ], "actor": "lower (Committee CX08)" }, ] ``` * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-content-importer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-content-importer/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * Plugin Author [berkux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berkux/) * (@berkux) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-array-values/#post-5711708) * Thank you for your post. I’ll check this. * Plugin Author [berkux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berkux/) * (@berkux) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-array-values/#post-5711712) * Ok, I can add this. How would you mask the datafield? Like {type:1} for the first field of the array? Then {type:2}, {type:3} etc.? * So the shortcut-code would be like this: [jsoncontentimporter url=”[http://…](http://…);. json” basenode=”actions”] {date} {action} {actor} {type:1} {type:2} {type:3}

From a functional standpoint of how to craft a short code argument, that makes sense. The one issue/question I see is that, based on my research, it would need to somehow call each of the three objects in the array, so that it is displaying each of the records in the array separately. For example I have this code: * ``` { "object1": "data1", "another_object": "more data", "this_array_thing" : [ { "date": "2009-02-25 00:00:00", "action": "Read first time. To print."}, { "date": "2009-02-26 00:00:00", "action": "From printer. May be heard in committee March 28.", }, { "date": "2009-03-23 00:00:00", "action": "Referred to Com. on HEALTH." }, ] ``` * I would want the display to look like this: Data1 – More data: -2009-02-25 00: 00:00, Read First Time, To Print -2009-02-26 00:00:00, From Printer. May be Heard in Committee -2009-03-23 00:00:00, Referred to Com on HEALTH * Etc, with each record. * Would your suggestion accomplish that? * Plugin Author [berkux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berkux/) * (@berkux) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-array-values/#post-5711787) * Hi, * install [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/json-content-importer.1.0.3.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/json-content-importer.1.0.3.zip) and * and: 1.

Thanks for updating this to include this function. I can get the data to display when i use your example. However, when I try to display from a different data source, I can get objects to display fine but not the data within sub loop- array. The entire code is below. And when I do this the “committee” and “Id” fields display fine. However, after that it displays the actual code i.e. “subloop- array:members:5} {name} {/subloop-array}” in the page. So the result looks like this: * Standing Committee on Jobs, Economic Development, and the Economy ;CAC000329 { subloop-array:members:5} {name} {/subloop-array} * What am I doing wrong? * ``` [jsoncontentimporter url="http://openstates.org/api/v1//committees/CAC000329/?apikey=4680b1234b1b4c04a77cdff59c91cfe7" numberofdisplayeditems="30" basenode=""] {committee} ;{id} {subloop-array:members:5} {name} {/subloop-array} [/jsoncontentimporter] ``` * Plugin Author [berkux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berkux/) * (@berkux) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-array-values/#post-5711817) * subloop and subloop-array do not work here. but the solution is: use multiple[ jsoncontentimporter]: each of it grabs and displays the part you need (with active caching the JSON-Url is fetched only once). * E.g. for [http://openstates.org/api/v1//committees/CAC000329/?apikey=4680b1234b1b4c04a77cdff59c91cfe7](http://openstates.org/api/v1//committees/CAC000329/?apikey=4680b1234b1b4c04a77cdff59c91cfe7) * [jsoncontentimporter url=”[http://openstates.org/api/v1//committees/CAC000329/?apikey=4680b1234b1b4c04a77cdff59c91cfe7″%5D](http://openstates.org/api/v1//committees/CAC000329/?apikey=4680b1234b1b4c04a77cdff59c91cfe7″%5D){ committee}{chamber}{id} [/jsoncontentimporter] [jsoncontentimporter url=”[http://openstates.org/api/v1//committees/CAC000329/?apikey=4680b1234b1b4c04a77cdff59c91cfe7″](http://openstates.org/api/v1//committees/CAC000329/?apikey=4680b1234b1b4c04a77cdff59c91cfe7″); basenode=”sources”][{url:ifNotEmptyAdd:}](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-array-values/{url}?output_format=md)[/ jsoncontentimporter]
