I have this snippet which works and runs using load_value. However, load_value runs on the fly every time it is loaded. Therefore it interferes with my faceting plugin. It also just loads the data and doesn’t save it. So I have to update the post to load the data and update it again to save the data.
What I need to do is for the code below to work and save the data every time a post is saved. And not before or after – to not work on the fly. Is that possible somehow maybe with a different filter? Or some extra code?
function my_acf_set_repeater($value, $post_id, $field){
$value = array();
$dates = get_field(‘multiple_dates’);
// below is repeater field key
foreach( $dates as $date ){
$value []= array(‘field_630f195c9942e’ => $date);
}
return $value;
}
//normal dates is the repeater name
add_filter(‘acf/load_value/name=dates_repeater’, ‘my_acf_set_repeater’, 10, 3);
I also tried:
function my_acf_set_repeater($post_id){
$value = array();
$dates = get_field(‘multiple_dates’);
// below is repeater field key
foreach( $dates as $date ){
$value []= array(‘field_630f195c9942e’ => $date);
}
return $value;
}
add_action(‘acf/save_post’, ‘my_acf_set_repeater’, 5);
But I’m a noob so that didn’t work. But I can’t be asking for something too difficult?!
Thank you
