In Bricks Discord chat, a user asked:
Does anyone know how to output the label of an ACF link field through Dynamic Data?
With the Return Value of a “Link” type of ACF field set at its default “Link Array”, the array looks like this:
when the field is populated for a post like this:
For printing out the values of title
and url
array keys for use in Bricks via its dynamic data tags feature, we can define a custom function like this (goes in child theme’s functions.php or a code snippets plugin):
function bl_get_link( string $field_name, string $key ) {
$field_value = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), $field_name, true );
if ( $field_value && isset( $field_value[$key] ) ) {
return $field_value[$key];
}
}
and use it in Bricks like this:
{echo:bl_get_link(page_link,title)}
{echo:bl_get_link(page_link,url)}
where page_link
is the field name.

Is it gonna work if Link is inside ACF Repeater?

Yes, it does.
There is no need to use a custom function now.
Title:
{acf_event_organizers_page_link:array_value|title}
URL:
{acf_event_organizers_page_link:array_value|url}
Target:
{acf_event_organizers_page_link:array_value|target}
where event_organizers is the Repeater name and page_link is the Link-type field's name.
