    Add flexible layout row with update_field
    • jessorjessor
      Field looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/dqgOE.png

      Code looks like this:
                  $field_key = "field_50aa306490492"; // flexible content field
                  //$field_key = "test"; // tried both
                  $post_id = "14310";
       
                  $value = get_field($field_key, $post_id);
                  $value[] = array("test" => "meh", "acf_fc_layout" => "test");
       
                  update_field($field_key, $value, $post_id);


      Nothing happens. No errors, either. What am I missing?

      EDIT: WordPress 3.4.2, ACF 3.5.3.1

      Hi @jessor,

      Your code looks perfect. I'll do some testing and get back to you Perhaps this is a bug with ACF

      Cheers

      Hi @admin,
      I'm sorry to bump, but could you please push this a little? ;)

      Hi @jessor,

      I belive I have fied the problem. Can you edit your core/api.php file and replace the updae_field function with this:
      function update_field($field_key, $value, $post_id = false)
      {
      	global $post, $acf; 
       
      	if(!$post_id) 
      	{ 
      		$post_id = $post->ID; 
      	}
       
       
      	// allow for option == options
      	if( $post_id == "option" )
      	{
      		$post_id = "options";
      	}
       
       
      	// is $field_name a name? pre 3.4.0
      	if( strpos($field_key, "field_") === false )
      	{
      		// get field key
      		if( is_numeric($post_id) )
      		{
      			$field_key = get_post_meta($post_id, '_' . $field_key, true); 
      		}
      		elseif( strpos($post_id, 'user_') !== false )
      		{
      			$temp_post_id = str_replace('user_', '', $post_id);
      			$field_key = get_user_meta($temp_post_id, '_' . $field_key, true); 
      		}
      		else
      		{
      			$field_key = get_option('_' . $post_id . '_' . $field_key); 
      		}
      	}
       
       
      	// get field
      	$field = $acf->get_acf_field($field_key); 
       
       
      	// backup if no field was found, save as a text field
      	if( !$field )
      	{
      		$field = array(
      			'type' => 'none',
      			'name' => $field_key
      		);
      	}
       
       
      	// sub fields? They need formatted data
      	if( $field['type'] == 'repeater' )
      	{
      		$value = acf_convert_field_names_to_keys( $value, $field );
      	}
      	elseif( $field['type'] == 'flexible_content' )
      	{
      		if( $field['layouts'] )
      		{
      			foreach( $field['layouts'] as $layout )
      			{
      				$value = acf_convert_field_names_to_keys( $value, $layout );
      			}
      		}
      	}
       
       
      	// save
      	$acf->update_value($post_id, $field, $value);
       
       
      	return true;
       
      }


      Let me know how you go with it
