ACF Nested Repeater Fields and Genesis

[hophead99]

I would be enormously grateful if someone could help me with the following.

I have been using Genesis with ACF for many years but have always struggled to implement Nested Repeater Fields using ACF.
I am not a web designer who understands a great deal about PHP but I do use a whole bunch of snippets that get me through - anyway I am using the following in my fuctions file which returns my custom fields nice and clean and styled just the way I like:

add_action('genesis_entry_footer', 'program_material',3);
function program_material() {

echo '<div class="program">';

if ( is_page() && get_field('session_4a_programme')){
echo '<div class="prog_sessions">';
while(has_sub_field('session_4a_programme')){ 
echo '<div class="sessionprog">';
echo '<div class="prog_time">' . get_sub_field('time_a') .'</div>', 				
     '<div class="prog_title">' . get_sub_field('title_1_a') .'</div>',
     '<div class="prog_subject">' . get_sub_field('title_subject_a') .'</div>',
     '<div class="prog_speaker">' . get_sub_field('speaker_a') .'</div>',
     '<div class="prog_moderator">' . get_sub_field('moderator_b') .'</div>'; 
echo '</div>';  
}
echo '</div>';  
}

}

So the main field session_4a_programme is the parent repeater
What I need to do is turn the last field - moderator_b into a child repeater with a couple of fields for Name and Company.

I'm really struggling and would be very grateful to the community if someone could provide me with some suggestions about how I can amend the code above to accommodate the nested repeater functionality

Kind Regards

Phil

This sounds like a question for the ACF folks. Have you tried posting over there?

Hey

Thanks for getting back to me - yes I have indeed sent ACF an email on this very subject.
However the original way of doing this I got from Nick (the geek) on the old forum a couple of years ago - I just thought someone in the General Genesis Community may have come across this issue of Nested Repeater fields before...and may have a solution, I'm sure it's not hugely complicated - but I just can't get my head around it...

i think that process will be like this way

echo '<div class="prog_time">' . get_sub_field('time_a') .'</div>', 				
     '<div class="prog_title">' . get_sub_field('title_1_a') .'</div>',
     '<div class="prog_subject">' . get_sub_field('title_subject_a') .'</div>',
     '<div class="prog_speaker">' . get_sub_field('speaker_a') .'</div>';
if( get_sub_field('moderator_b') ) {
    echo '<div class="prog_moderator">' ;
    while ( has_sub_field('moderator_b') ){ 
       echo get_sub_field('name')  .  '<br/>' .  get_sub_field('company') ;
       echo '</div>';
    }
 }
