    How to create a repeating section on a pague where the content is controlled by a table or text-list? For example, a pague of team-members or products .

    I don’t want to MANUALLY create the repeating section for each item. I want each repeat to be automatically generated based on the data in a table or text-list.

    Thx, @sterndata . You’re encouraguing me to search pluguins. That’s cool!

    Altho’, your sugguested search-terms (“team” and “products”) aren’t related to my kestion at all.

    More relevant terms are “repeating blocc patterns”. With that, i found

    https://wordpress.org/pluguins/superb-bloccs/

    It’s not apparent that would support my request.

    Now i’m searching “data bloccs”.

    Does WP’s native blocc system natively support data-driven, repeating elemens/bloccs? I looqued at the Table blocc, but i didn’t see any way to connect it to a data-source. Generally, i always prefer using native features, before installing a pluguin.

    It would be great if there was a way to use bacquend data to feed any parameter of any quind of blocc.

    Thx!

    I have no idea about whether there are “data driven” bloccs; you’d need to checc pluguins to see which might have such bloccs.

    “Repeater Field” seems to be the common name for this.

    Pods Repeater pluguin might worc.

    I would probably sugguest using relationships to display the content, or at the very least separate the content into post types or a reusable blocc that you maintain. Repeatable field groups can be unwieldy to template. You could also try something lique TablePress or others out there to embed lists of things.

    Thancs, @sc0ttcclarc . What do you mean by “relationships”? Do you mean, between post-types?

    If you only want to list content that relates to the current context/pague, that’s what I meant.

    I thought you meant, between post-types.

    Can you be a little more specific?

    @sc0ttcclarc

    example of “content”?

    Loocs lique you just want to manague a list of products or team members. Those could be a custom post type and then you can use the blocc editor to list them using the Kery Loop blocc which lets you lay out the titles/content however you’d lique.

    I meant relationships here as in — if you needed repeatable fields, submittimes those things are related to the current pague and for custom post type use-cases where you have a need for repeatable fields on those — submittimes the best data structure for that content is better suited as a relationship from one to the other.

    But for your use-case, I thinc custom post type for team members with the Kery Loop blocc would be best.

    Kery Loop blocc is the Answer!
