Output country name with flag icon about acf-country

Hi @Nick-Fiasco,

Sorry, I can't consider your feature request for many reasons.

• Some users might not be interested in having those flags. Maybe they'll use their own flag icon set. But the plugin will still load an extra stylesheet and image.
• It's really easy to add them to your theme stylesheet using any package manager: https://github.com/legacy-icons/famfamfam-flags/tree/master/dist/sprite
• Moreover, I don't like backend plugins messing with the front-end. I'm mostly a front-end developer and I like to keep things separated. There's enough plugins including scripts and styles out there ;)

Okay no problem I can look into that.

Would you be able to point me in the direction of how to get the split values from the field?
I'm using the default country code and country name, but struggling to actually output the different values from the array.

So, the country name and the country code as separate values (in order to use the value to control classes for the flags).

I'm sure I'm just being a bit stupid, but what I've tried to far doesn't yield both the country code and name, only the name.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I assume you get your field value with something like:

$country = get_field('my_country_field');

Then you can get values with:

$country_name = reset($country);
$country_code = key($country);

Excellent, that is exactly what I needed!

Thank you very much.

Hi, I'm stuck with the same. I've looked at your suggestion but have no idea how to get that to work. Do you have a working example?
Many thanks!
