Saving Data with Repeater Field / ACF API

  • Hello,

    Thanks for the great plugin. I am trying to use the Repeater Field Addon with one of my custom plugins. Pretty much, when installing my plugin, I would like to register a predefined repeater field and have an admin user modify the data. I very easily was bale to register and display the repeater field in the admin but none of the data is being saved after submitting the post. I assume there must be some type of save function I need to call as well? Could you please point me in the right direction on how to accomplish this? Here is my register code:

    public function create_acf_field_repeater(){
    if(function_exists(“register_field_group”))
    {
    register_field_group(array (
    ‘id’ => ‘acf_pages’,
    ‘title’ => ‘pages’,
    ‘fields’ => array (
    array (
    ‘key’ => ‘field_53bafa11cf1de’,
    ‘label’ => ‘tweets’,
    ‘name’ => ‘tweets’,
    ‘type’ => ‘repeater’,
    ‘sub_fields’ => array (
    array (
    ‘key’ => ‘field_53bafa19cf1df’,
    ‘label’ => ‘tweet’,
    ‘name’ => ‘tweet’,
    ‘type’ => ‘text’,
    ‘column_width’ => ”,
    ‘default_value’ => ”,
    ‘placeholder’ => ”,
    ‘prepend’ => ”,
    ‘append’ => ”,
    ‘formatting’ => ‘html’,
    ‘maxlength’ => ”,
    ),
    array (
    ‘key’ => ‘field_53bafa41cf1e0’,
    ‘label’ => ‘json’,
    ‘name’ => ‘json’,
    ‘type’ => ‘text’,
    ‘column_width’ => ”,
    ‘default_value’ => ”,
    ‘placeholder’ => ”,
    ‘prepend’ => ”,
    ‘append’ => ”,
    ‘formatting’ => ‘html’,
    ‘maxlength’ => ”,
    ),
    array (
    ‘key’ => ‘field_53bb06882fce4’,
    ‘label’ => ‘approved’,
    ‘name’ => ‘approved’,
    ‘type’ => ‘checkbox’,
    ‘column_width’ => ”,
    ‘choices’ => array (
    1 => ‘approved’
    ),
    ‘default_value’ => 1,
    ‘layout’ => ‘vertical’,
    ),
    ),
    ‘row_min’ => ”,
    ‘row_limit’ => ”,
    ‘layout’ => ‘table’,
    ‘button_label’ => ‘Add Row’,
    ),
    ),
    ‘location’ => array (
    array (
    array (
    ‘param’ => ‘post_type’,
    ‘operator’ => ‘==’,
    ‘value’ => ‘page’,
    ‘order_no’ => 0,
    ‘group_no’ => 0,
    ),
    ),
    ),
    ‘options’ => array (
    ‘position’ => ‘normal’,
    ‘layout’ => ‘no_box’,
    ‘hide_on_screen’ => array (
    ),
    ),
    ‘menu_order’ => 0,
    ));
    }
    }

    Thanks!

  • I realized that I had to use register_field_group within the admin_init hook for it to work. Hope this helps someone else.
