Hi !
Firstly, thanks for your answer, this allow me to move up a bit !
But i’m still stuck there, here is my code before that i tried to integrate your answer
function my_load_cat($value, $post_id, $field){
$args = array( 'parent' => 779 );
$post_categories = wp_get_post_terms( get_the_ID(), 'category', array("fields" => "ids") );
if ( !empty( $post_categories ) ) {
$args['exclude'] = $post_categories;
};
$categories = get_categories( $args );
Firstly i’ve created a function, and inside of it i ask wp to load only the category that are not belonging to the current post, and that they have the parent’s id as “779”
`foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
$value[]=array(
‘field_5cd186302ef1c’ => $category->name
);
};
return $value;
};`
And then i grab all those terms that i placed in a foreach loop, in order to have all of them inside of my repeater field
}
add_filter('acf/load_value/name=villes_a_ajouter_III', 'my_load_cat', 10, 3);
And at last i apply the filter that i want, in order to load all of them.
But this keep adding me some new row once i clicked on update the post, this is quite a bite a problem
(the entire code create something like this)
function my_load_cat($value, $post_id, $field){
$args = array( 'parent' => 779 );
$post_categories = wp_get_post_terms( get_the_ID(), 'category', array("fields" => "ids") );
if ( !empty( $post_categories ) ) {
$args['exclude'] = $post_categories;
};
$categories = get_categories( $args );
foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
$value[]=array(
'field_5cd186302ef1c' => $category->name
);
};
return $value;
};
}
add_filter('acf/load_value/name=villes_a_ajouter_III', 'my_load_cat', 10, 3);
So i tried to add your answer to my function, and this is creating me something like
function my_load_cat($value, $post_id, $field){
$args = array( 'parent' => 779 );
$post_categories = wp_get_post_terms( get_the_ID(), 'category', array("fields" => "ids") );
if ( !empty( $post_categories ) ) {
$args['exclude'] = $post_categories;
};
$categories = get_categories( $args );
if (!empty($value)) {
// this repeater already has a value do not change it
return $value
}
else{
foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
$value= array(
array(
'field_5cd186302ef1c' => $category->name
)
);
};
return $value;
};
}
add_filter('acf/load_value/name=villes_a_ajouter_III', 'my_load_cat', 20, 3);
But not working, any idea to help me ?
