# Magic Fields: Duplicate Fields within Duplicate Groups

 * Hi there,
 * I’m using the Magic Fields plugin (version 1.5.8.3, not the newer v2)
 * I’ve created a write panel where I can create duplicate groups.
 * In each group I have a field for the group title, which is not duplicated. I 
   then have another fields for the group items, which can be duplicated.
 * I’m struggling to output all of this. It seems from reading the documentation
   that it can be done, but it all refers to specifying the group & field ID’s you
   want to show, not for just automatically outputting everything?
 * This code works, but it relies on me telling it which group ID I want to display
   the duplicates fields for:
 *     ```
       <?php
       	$mygroup = get_group('GroupName'); // use the Custom Group name
       	foreach($mygroup as $group) {
       ?>
   
       	<h1><?php echo $group['normal_field_name'][1]; // display a title for the group using a non-duplicated field ?></h1>
   
       	<?php
       		$fields = get_field_duplicate('duplicated_field_name',999); // get all the group items using duplicated fields
       		foreach($fields as $field) {
       	?>
   
       		<p><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($field); ?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title($field); ?>"><?php echo get_the_title($field); ?></a></p>
   
       	<?php } ?>
   
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * 999 shows where I am told to specify the ID number of the group. How can I set
   this to retrieve the ID of the group displayed?
 * $group returns an array, not an ID number.
 * Just to add a little more complication, my duplicated field is a related type
   fields, hence the slightly complicated duplicate field code, which needs to retrieve
   the permalink & title for each related type field. This works fine though, i 
   just can’t display the different groups!
 * Any ideas anyone?
 * I would guess this would be a fairly normal use of the duplicate fields and groups?
   I’m not sure why the documentation doesn’t go into this little bit more detail.
   I guess it’s pretty simple though, & I’m missing the blatantly obvious as usual!

 * get_group return an array with all of the fields in a group, the array has the
   following structure:
    [id_group][name_of_field][id_field]
 * foreach($mygroup as $group) {
    if( isset($group[‘duplicated_field_name’]) ){ 
   for( $gruop[‘duplicated_field_name’] as $field){ //print the permalink } } }

 * Hi,
 * Many thanks for getting back to me!
 * I’m still a little unclear how I would modify my code. Would I just use the code
   you have supplied instead of my code, or just replacing part of it?
 * I can see that your code shows where I would print the permalink for the duplicated
   fields. Where & how would I print the title of the group, which I have created
   as a non-duplicated field?
 * Many thanks for your help!
 * Mat
