Hi

I use

<?php if ($choices = $wf->the->has("sc_fieldset_choices")) ?>
<?php foreach ($choices as $choice) : ?>
<?php echo $choice->sc_choice_01; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

in a template. Everything works fine. I only couldn’t find out how to shuffle the field values before looping them.

Thanks,
Marcel

Hi, so just to clarify, you’re trying to randomise the collection before output? There’s no built-in method to shuffle, but you could try this:

https://gist.github.com/traversal/727a30139046e962a426

This will get an array of the choices using the items method first, which is then passed into the PHP shuffle function.

Hi, thanks for your help. I tried but I get
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

Hi, apologies for that, I wrote the code incorrectly, forgetting that shuffle doesn’t return an array. I’ve updated the gist now:

Let me know if that works.

Thanks!
