Reply To: Update parent and child repeater programmatically

Hi John,

I’ve progressed this slightly.

It’s iterating through and adding the column titles to 7 repeater rows. So that works.

The update_sub_repeater is adding data to all 7 child repeater fields but it’s counting up for some reason… it’s adding 2 child repeater rows to the first parent repeater, 3 to the second, 4 to the third and so on.

It’s so close apart from this final part, where am I going wrong?

// Product Code Titles
$contents = $html->find('div[class=product-table]', 0);
$data = array();
$subdata = array();
$rows = $contents->find('tr');
$counter = 0;
$field_key = "field_5ae0882f9d6f9";
$sub_field_key = "field_5ae088999d6fb";
$cellcount = 0;
foreach ($rows as $key_row => $row) {

    if($counter == 0) {

      foreach ($row->find('td') as $key_cell => $cell) {

        $data[] = array(
          "column_title" => strip_tags($cell->innertext),
        );
      }

    } elseif($counter >= 1) {

      foreach ($row->find('td') as $key_cell => $cell) {

        $subdata[] = array(
          "text" => strip_tags($cell->innertext),
        );
        update_sub_field( array($field_key, $cellcount, $sub_field_key), $subdata, $post_id );        
        $cellcount++;
      }

    }

$counter++;
}

echo $cellcount;
update_field( $field_key, $data, $post_id );
