Title: Nested Complex Fields PHP output sample code? Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Nested Complex Fields PHP output sample code? * Resolved [Taiko Media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taiko-media/) * (@taiko-media) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nested-complex-fields-php-output-sample-code/) * Hi, * I’m getting used to setting up complex fields for the backend. But I’m struggling when it comes to writing the php code for nested complex fields to show it’s output as html on a page. A bit of sample code would be of great help! * Currently I’ve created the following fields: * ``` use Carbon_Fields\Container\Container; use Carbon_Fields\Field\Field; use Carbon_Fields\Field\Complex_Field; $section_labels = array('plural_name' => 'Sections', 'singular_name' => 'Section',); $row_labels = array('plural_name' => 'Rows', 'singular_name' => 'Row',); $column_labels = array('plural_name' => 'Columns', 'singular_name' => 'Column',); Container::make('post_meta', 'Page Builder') ->show_on_post_type('page') ->add_fields(array( Field::make('complex', 'lk_section', "") ->setup_labels($section_labels) ->add_fields(array( Field::make('complex', 'lk_row', "") ->setup_labels($row_labels) ->add_fields(array( Field::make('complex', 'lk_column', "") ->setup_labels($column_labels) ->add_fields(array( // Add complex fields for several types of content-blocks here Field::make("separator", "column_attributes", "Column Attributes"), Field::make('text', 'id', "ID")->set_width(15), Field::make('text', 'class', "Class")->set_width(15), Field::make('text', 'custom')->set_width(33), )), Field::make("separator", "row_attributes", "Row Attributes"), Field::make('text', 'id', "ID")->set_width(15), Field::make('text', 'class', "Class")->set_width(15), Field::make('text', 'custom')->set_width(33), Field::make("separator", "row_styling", "Row Styling"), )), Field::make("separator", "section_attributes", "Section Attributes"), Field::make('text', 'id', "ID")->set_width(15), Field::make('text', 'class', "Class")->set_width(15), Field::make('text', 'custom')->set_width(33), Field::make("separator", "section_styling", "Section Styling"), )), )); ``` * And would like to output it for example, as html like this: * ```
``` * How would I go about it? For simplicity reasons ignore the other fields (id, custom). * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/carbon-fields/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/carbon-fields/) Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Author [htmlBurger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htmlburger/) * (@htmlburger) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nested-complex-fields-php-output-sample-code/#post-7097173) * Hey there, * We’ve prepared a quick example on how to output the sections, rows and columns based on the markup that you provided, considering the nested complex fields that you’ve registered above. * You can find it here: [https://gist.github.com/tyxla/7c9c7691e6101375ea07](https://gist.github.com/tyxla/7c9c7691e6101375ea07) * Feel free to experiment with it. * Cheers * Thread Starter [Taiko Media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taiko-media/) * (@taiko-media) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nested-complex-fields-php-output-sample-code/#post-7097190) * Thanks! Your example code works perfect. I see where I went wrong in my attempts. * Your support is superb. I can’t contribute a lot in return, but if you ever need CF translated to Dutch, let me know! * Best, Richard * Plugin Author [htmlBurger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htmlburger/) * (@htmlburger) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nested-complex-fields-php-output-sample-code/#post-7097229) * Hey Richard, * Glad we were able to help. * We currently don’t have Dutch translation, so it would be really wonderful if you can contribute with it. * Thread Starter [Taiko Media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taiko-media/) * (@taiko-media) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nested-complex-fields-php-output-sample-code/#post-7097232) * I’ve added Carbon Fields along with the Dutch translation as a project on poeditor. com > [https://poeditor.com/join/project/TrICAM5zyU](https://poeditor.com/join/project/TrICAM5zyU) * Plugin Author [htmlBurger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htmlburger/) * (@htmlburger) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nested-complex-fields-php-output-sample-code/#post-7097254) * Hi Richard, * Thanks for the translation!
