ACF object in wordpress menu-walker

I have a WP-site, and I want a sub-menu for each menu-items, with a li-item for each the_sub_field('info_block_header').

  1. You have to pass the ID, associated : you can get it into $item->ID, you can know the type of this item print_r($item->type); (taxonomy, page, etc..).

    Then :

    $output .= '<ul id="about" class="dropDown">'. if(get_field('info_block', $id)):
                while(has_sub_field('info_block', $id)): .'
        <li><a href="#">'. get_sub_field('info_block_header', $id) .'</a></li>'. endwhile; endif; .
        </ul>';
