Update repeater with front-end image(s) upload

Hello,

I’m trying to update a repeater field with an upload form (image/s) from the front end (WP 3.8).

No problem when i save the image to a simple field, but not with a repeater :
I validate the form, but can’t open it from the back end (always loading, and finally an error in the post (Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in plugin.php).

Repeater field is named “images”.
Rows are named “image”.

Here is part of my code :

// I get the attach_id
$attach_id = media_handle_upload( $file_handler, $addPost );

// And try to update the repeater field
$field_key = "field_52d2cfbc5778a";
$post_id = $addPost;
$value = get_field($field_key, $post_id);
$value[] = array('image' => $attach_id);
update_field( $field_key, $value, $post_id );

Something wrong with my code ?

Thank you.

Resolved.

Had to use add_action(‘init’) in functions.php to get it work.

Hi @mvdesign

Yes. Because the add-on is not loaded until the init action has been fired, the update_field won’t work with the repeater field until then.

Thanks
