InnerBlocks Template Pre-populate ACF Repeater

  • Hello,

    Can anyone help me with pre-populated ACF repeater in innerblock template?

    
$template = array(
    array('core/heading', array(
        'level' => 2,
        'placeholder' => 'Schrijf de titel',
    )),
    array('core/paragraph', array(
        'placeholder' => 'Schrijf tekst',
    )),

    This is a repeater field with 3 sub_fields -  Link  -  Color  -  Icon
    array('acf/tf-buttons', array(
    )),

    Something like this?
    array('acf/tf-buttons', array('data' => array('text_field'=> 'Test!'))),
);

global $allowed_jsx_blocks;
echo '<InnerBlocks template="' . esc_attr( wp_json_encode( $template ) ) . '" allowedBlocks="' . esc_attr( wp_json_encode( $allowed_jsx_blocks ) ) . '" />';

    I have this problem often and never found a solution to Pre Populate acf repeater fields

    I tried this, but doesn’t fill the repeater field:

    
This is a simpel repeater field with one text field

array('acf/tf-buttons',
    array('data' =>
        array('test_rep'=>
            array('data' =>
                array('test_rep_text'=> 'test')
            )
        )
    )
),

  • I am a skilled developer.. There is no information online that explains how to pre-populate repeater fields in a Innerblock template.

    There are some tutorials/information about pre-population fields in a Innerblock template but nothing about repeater fields.

    So thanks for your offer but I’m searching for a simple push in the right direction. And i’m pretty close with the array stacking in my last code snippet.

  • Got the solution 🙂
    If you want to repeat an other button change 0 to 1

    
array('tatof/button', array(
    'data' => [
        'template_buttons_0_tb_button' => [
            'title' => 'Button title',
            'url' => '#',
            'target' => ''
        ],
        '_template_buttons_0_tb_button' => 'field_637e1739ba382',

        'template_buttons_0_tb_color' => 'primary',
        '_template_buttons_0_tb_color' => 'field_637e1750ba383',

        'template_buttons_0_tb_icon' => '',
        '_template_buttons_0_tb_icon' => 'field_637e18cfba384',

        'template_buttons' => 1,
        '_template_buttons' => 'field_637e171dba381',
    ]
)),

  • @tatof thank you for posting your solution! This was so helpful!

    I did manage to prepopulate the fields in my repeater. But there is one thing I cannot seem to figure out: The block is not rendered untill i manually ‘touch’ one of the fields in the block. Did you also encounter this problem?

  • Yes I did encouter that. Only got that problem with images, its important that you load them by ID.

    Also check if all the Field keys are 100% correct. like my setup above.

  • @tatof for me it weren’t the image fields but grouped cloned fields. I skipped the clone parent field ID, now I’ve also added these it works like a charm!

  • Ah! Its always the little things 😉
