Reply To: Create New Repeater Row from Front End Form

Hi Jonathan,

I think there is an update/change to the code that make the minus 1 to $new_repeater_count unnecessary.

looking in .//advanced-custom-fields-pro/api/api-template.php for ACF Pro v 5.4.2 – on line 1607 there is this.

			if( is_numeric($s) ) {
				
				// get row index
				$row_i = intval($s) - 1;
				
				// add to name
				$name .= "_{$row_i}";
				
			} else {

So it seems like the -1 is now built in the code.

I’m not too thrilled with this, as now I have to remember yet another hidden functionality to the update_sub_field() function.

I would update Jonathan’s code to something like this.

$repeater = get_post_meta($orgPost, 'org_users', true);
$index = (!$repeater) ? 1 : $repeater + 1;
update_field(ORG_USERS_FIELD_KEY, $index, $orgPost);
update_sub_field(array(ORG_USERS_FIELD_KEY, $index, ORG_USER_SUB_FIELD_KEY), $user_id, $orgPost);
