Looping in Wordpress with Pods Plugin

Question

I am trying to create a loop for a group of divs that are being entered in as Pods via Wordpress admin panel.

I have the Pods setup. I could have them setup improperly, but I believe they are setup correctly. I have one Pod and the info is as follows:

Pods Information:

Label: advisors
Name: advisor
Type: Custom Post Type
Storage Type: Meta
Number of Fields: 2

Field 1 Information:

Label: Advisor Name
Name: advisor_name
Field Type: Plain Text

Field 2 Information:

Label: Advisor Title
Name: advisor_title
Field Type: Plain Text

The HTML I am trying to replicate is:

<div class="small-container text-center advisor-list">
      <h1 class="text-center">Header Title</h1>
      <div class="row  gutter-0 padding-30 text-center vpadding-30 ">
             <div class="box column large-3 vpadding-10 medium-3 text-center">
                    <img  src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/icon-star.png">
                    <h2>Name</h2>
                    <h4>Title</h4>   
            </div>
            <div class="box column large-3 vpadding-10 medium-3 text-center">
                    <img  src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/icon-star.png">
                    <h2>Name</h2>
                    <h4>Title</h4>   
            </div>
            <div class="box column large-3 vpadding-10 medium-3 text-center">
                    <img  src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/icon-star.png">
                    <h2>Name</h2>
                    <h4>Title</h4>   
            </div>
            <div class="box column large-3 vpadding-10 medium-3 text-center">
                    <img  src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/icon-star.png">
                    <h2>Name</h2>
                    <h4>Title</h4>   
            </div>
    <button id="showPartners" class="bttn bttn-4 bttn-4a vpadding-30">View Our List of Partners</button>
</div>

This is as far as I have gotten with the PHP:

<div class="small-container text-center advisor-list">
  <h1 class="text-center">Header Title</h1>
  <div class="row  gutter-0 padding-30 text-center vpadding-30 ">
    <?php 
      function get_the_pod($pod_name, $pod_fields, $order = 'name'){
      $item_no=0;
      $pod = new Pod($pod_name);
      $pod->findRecords($order);
      while ($pod->fetchRecord()){
        foreach ($pod_fields as &$field){
          $results[$item_no][str_replace(".guid","",$field)] = $pod->get_field($field);
            if($field == end($pod_fields)){$item_no++;}
        }
      }
      return $results;        
      }

     ?>
         <?php $fields = array('name'); ?>
         <?php $advisors = get_the_pod('advisors', 'name DESC'); ?>
         <?php  foreach($advisors as $advisor){ ?>
           <div class="box column large-3 vpadding-10 medium-3 text-center">
             <img  src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/icon-star.png">
             <h2 ><?php echo $item['advisor_name']; ?></h2>
             <h4><?php echo $item['advisor_title']; ?></h4>           
           </div>
     <?php } ?>  

    <button id="showPartners" class="bttn bttn-4 bttn-4a vpadding-30">View Our List of Partners</button>
  </div>
</div>

If anyone has any input, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You are using Pods 1.X methods. Here is much simpler code using Pods 2.X methods. You will want to check out the docs pages for pods() and pods::find(), which has the infromation about how to set $param for pods(), for more information.

         <?php 
                $param = array( 'orderby' => 't.name' );
                $advisors = pods('advisors', $param );

                foreach($advisors as $advisor) { 
                   $advisor_name = $advisor->field( 'advisor_name' );
                   $advisor_title = $advisor->field( 'advisor_title' );
         ?>
             <div class="box column large-3 vpadding-10 medium-3 text-center">
                  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/icon-star.png" />
                  <h2><?php echo $advisor_name; ?></h2>
                  <h4><?php echo $advisor_title; ?></h4>           
             </div>
        <?php } //end foreach
        ?>
