skip to Main Content

The ultimate goal is to have a widget for Elementor in WordPress that can create multiple buttons inside of tabs. So I want a repeater inside of a repeater.

I do not have all the functionality or styling yet, just the very basic set up that lists each input on the page. The code I have does not work. The plugin displays correctly, however all the elementor controls disappear.

Here is the code:

<?php
namespace Elementor;

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit; // Exit if accessed directly.
}

/**
 * Elementor iatabs widget.
 *
 * Elementor widget that displays vertical or horizontal iatabs with different
 * pieces of content.
 *
 * @since 1.0.0
 */
class Widget_AltTabs extends Widget_Base {

    	/**
	 * Get widget name.
	 *
	 * Retrieve iatabs widget name.
	 *
	 * @since 1.0.0
	 * @access public
	 *
	 * @return string Widget name.
	 */
	public function get_name() {
		return 'alttabs';
	}

	/**
	 * Get widget title.
	 *
	 * Retrieve tabs widget title.
	 *
	 * @since 1.0.0
	 * @access public

	 * @return string Widget title.
	 */
	public function get_title() {
		return __( 'AltTabs', 'elementor' );
	}

I am pretty new to writing Elementor widget/plugins so I am stumped here. I would appreciate any help. Thank you!

  1. Repeater controls cannot support a nested repeater

    take look : https://github.com/pojome/elementor/issues/2955

  2. My solution

    Create two repeaters and bind them with keys. Good luck

    protected function _register_controls() {
        $this->start_controls_section(
            'section_categories',
            [
                'label' => __( 'Categories', 'elementor' ),
            ]
        );
    
        $repeater = new Repeater();
    
        $repeater->add_control(
            'category_slug',
            [
                'label'       => __( 'Category Slug', 'elementor' ),
                'type'        => Controls_Manager::TEXT,
                'default'     => __( 'category-name', 'elementor' ),
                'label_block' => true,
            ]
        );
    
        $repeater->add_control(
            'category_title',
            [
                'label'       => __( 'Category Title', 'elementor' ),
                'type'        => Controls_Manager::TEXT,
                'default'     => __( 'Category Title', 'elementor' ),
                'label_block' => true,

        );
    
        $this->add_control(
            'categories',
            [
                'label'       => __( 'Contacts', 'elementor' ),
                'type'        => Controls_Manager::REPEATER,
                'fields'      => $repeater->get_controls(),
                'title_field' => '{{{ category_title }}}',
            ]
        );
    
        $this->end_controls_section();
    
        $this->start_controls_section(
            'section_prices',
            [
                'label' => __( 'Prices', 'elementor' ),
            ]
        );
    
        $serviceRepeater = new Repeater();
    
        $serviceRepeater->add_control(
            'category_slug',
            [
                'label'       => __( 'Category Slug', 'elementor' ),

                'label_block' => true,
            ]
        );
    
        $serviceRepeater->add_control(
            'service_title',
            [
                'label'       => __( 'Service Title', 'elementor' ),

                'label_block' => true,
            ]
        );
    
        $serviceRepeater->add_control(
            'service_price',
            [
                'label'       => __( 'Price', 'elementor' ),
                'type'        => Controls_Manager::TEXT,
                'default'     => __( '40,00', 'elementor' ),
                'label_block' => true,
            ]
        );
    
        $this->add_control(
            'services',
            [

                'type'        => Controls_Manager::REPEATER,
                'fields'      => $serviceRepeater->get_controls(),
                'title_field' => '{{{ service_title }}}',
            ]
        );
    
        $this->end_controls_section();
    }
    

    Add to render

    foreach ($settings['categories'] as $category) {
        echo $category['category_title'];
    
        foreach($settings['services' as $service) {
            if ($category['category_slug'] === $service['category_slug'] {
                echo $category['service_title'];
            }
        }
    }
