Hi I am trying to add in a row to a custom field through the front end. I followed these methods:
http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/add-row-to-repeater-field-from-the-frontend/
Which worked but was adding in blank rows. I have subsequently deleted all rows and added in a new one via the backend, but when I var_dump the field I get an array of 5 blank rows.

Any ideas guys?

If you use the_form() to add a form on the front end, http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_form/. You can specify what field groups and specify what fields to show. Using the hook acf/pre_save_post you can then create new posts if you need to http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-pre_save_post/. Users will be able to upload images using acf_form().

Hi John,

Cheers for the help, I didn’t realise acf have a form. I solved it another way, by using ajax.

<?php 
	// This allows our page to have wordpress knowledge
	define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
	require_once('../../../wp-load.php');
	
	$userid = $_REQUEST['userid']; 
	$email = $_REQUEST['email'];  
	$username = $_REQUEST['username']; 	
	$pageid = $_REQUEST['pageid']; 	
	$attendFB = $_REQUEST['attendFB']; 
	
 $update_field = new WP_Query('showposts=1&post_type=tribe_events&orderby=date&order=ASC&p='.$pageid );
					while ($update_field->have_posts()) : $update_field->the_post();
					the_title();
	//get attending rows
	if( have_rows('attending') ){
		$gallery = get_field( 'attending' );
	} else {
		$gallery = array();
	}
	// add to existing array
	$gallery[] = array(
		'user_id'		=> $userid,
		'name'	=> $username,
		'email'	=> $email
	);
	// save new array
	update_field("field_identifier", $gallery, get_the_ID());

	endwhile;  wp_reset_query(); 
	?>
