Output ACF Post Object fields in results

Hi,
Im unable to get ACF Post Object fields to output in to the results, any idea’s on the correct format?

<?php
					while ($query->have_posts())
					{
						$query->the_post();
						
						?>
						<tr>
							<td>
								<?php

							$post_object = get_field('customer');

							if( $post_object ): 

								// override $post
								$post = $post_object;
								setup_postdata( $post ); 

								?>
							    <?php the_title(); ?>
							    <?php wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly ?>
							<?php endif; ?>

							</td>
							<td><?php the_date(); ?></td>
							<td><?php echo the_ID(); ?></td>
							<td><?php echo the_field('reg_no'); ?></td>
						</tr>
						<?php
					}
					?>

At the moment “the_title” inside the post object, outputs the title of the search result, not the title thats defined inside the search result post.

Hopefully that makes sense, and hopefully its just a syntax issue.

Thanks,
Mike

Sorry for the badly formatted code, cant see where to edit my post. Here it is formatted a little more readable:

<?php
while ($query->have_posts())
{
$query->the_post();

?>
<tr>
<td>
<?php

$post_object = get_field('customer');

if( $post_object ): 

// override $post
$post = $post_object;
setup_postdata( $post ); 

?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly ?>
<?php endif; ?>

</td>
<td><?php the_date(); ?></td>
<td><?php echo the_ID(); ?></td>
<td><?php echo the_field('reg_no'); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>

A lot of that you don’t need. You need to be careful of the type of field you are getting. For example, arrays are different. The ACF online manual is a big help. Below is an example results.php file that gets ACF fields and uses them:

<?php
/**
 * Search & Filter Pro 
 *
 * Sample Results Template
 * 
 * @package   Search_Filter
 * @author    Ross Morsali
 * @link      http://www.designsandcode.com/
 * @copyright 2015 Designs & Code
 * 
 * Note: these templates are not full page templates, rather 
 * just an encaspulation of the your results loop which should
 * be inserted in to other pages by using a shortcode - think 
 * of it as a template part
 * 
 * This template is an absolute base example showing you what
 * you can do, for more customisation see the WordPress docs 
 * and using template tags - 
 * 
 * http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags
 *

if ( $query->have_posts() )
{
	?>
	
	Found <?php echo $query->found_posts; ?> Results<br />

Great stuff, how come you are echoeing get_field instead of using the_field?

The example you provided outputs single fields fine, but what would be some example code to use ACF’s Post Object?

Using the example ACF site supplies doesnt work as expected.

I think there is a subtle difference between echoing it and the other. Not sure.

As to Post Object, that is harder. We would have to spend some time over Skype together experimenting to get the code right, I think.
