adding a row to a repeater

It is unclear to me where you would put an add_row() function.

I added the following code to my functions.php file and it caused the white screen of death:

function my_pre_save_post_x( 14560) {

$row = array(
	'game_date'	=> 'June 20, 1975',
	'away_team'	=> 'Boston',
	'away_score'	=> 0,
	'home_team'	=> 'Cleveland',
	'home_score'	=> 0,
);

$i = add_row('games', $row);
}
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post_x', 10, 1);

Any clarification or an expanded example would be helpful.

Hi @bosoxbill

I’m afraid you have some syntax errors in your code. I believe you need to do it like this instead:

// You need to set the variable instead of the value here
function my_pre_save_post_x( $post_id ) {

$row = array(
	'game_date'	=> 'June 20, 1975',
	'away_team'	=> 'Boston',
	'away_score'	=> 0,
	'home_team'	=> 'Cleveland',
	'home_score'	=> 0,
);

/* Please use the field key instead of the field name because you use it
 * before the saving process occured (pre_save_post). Also, you need to 
 * add the post ID to the add_row() function
*/
$i = add_row('field_1234567890abc', $row, $post_id);
}
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post_x', 10, 1);

To see the error message instead of the white screen, please take a look at this page: https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress.

I hope this helps 🙂
