Update User Repeater with Post Object Info?

Hello,

I’m running into some issues with a particular setup of ACF and was wondering if someone could weigh in with some info.

Here’s my scenario:
I have two Custom Post Types: “Online Courses” and “Course Points”.

I’m using a WordPress online course plugin (LearnDash) that allows Users to complete courses; I then want them to receive a “Course Point”, housed within a repeater in their profile. I’ve added an ACF Post Object field into the Admin for each Online Course which allows an administrator to assign the Online Course a corresponding “Course Point”.

So, I’m hooking into when a User completes a course and I’m adding a new repeater row to that Users’ profile, but I just can’t seem to get the Post Object Field for “Course Points” to get the data (from the Online Course) within the repeater. For example: there is an Online Course called “Test Course” and a Course Point called “Two Points”. When User completes “Test Course”, I want the repeater field in their profile to show that they have “Two Points”.

My Code:

add_action("learndash_course_completed", function($data) {
	$user = get_current_user_id();
	$user_ID = 'user_' . $user;
	
	//Select the Users' Repeater
	$field_key = 'course_points';

	//Find which course point was assigned to the Online Course
	$course_id = $data->ID;
	$coursePoint = get_field('field_56646f51fa48b', 'course_' . $course_id);

	$value = get_field('course_point', $user_ID);
	$value[] = array("post_object_field" => $coursePoint, "date" => "20151206");
	update_field( $field_key, $value, $user_ID );
}, 5, 1);

Any insight you can provide is greatly appreciated!

Ok, so I figured out how to properly get the ID of the course that was completed:

$course_id = $data['course']->ID

So, how can I then take my course and insert it into a repeater (with a Post Object sub field)? Here’s what I have so far, which isn’t working:

$course_id = $data['course']->ID;
$coursePoint = get_field('field_56646f51fa48b', $course_id);
$value = get_field('field_56644f11d62c3', $user_ID); 

$value[] = array("field_566459158d2ab" => $coursePoint, "field_5664598f8d2ad" => "20151206"); //The second field in the Repeat (Date) gets into a new row fine

update_field( $field_key, $value, $user_ID );

For reference, the multidimensional array that is output by $data is structured like this:

Array

    [user] => WP_User Object
        (
            [data] => stdClass Object

Solved it!

I found this post which lead me to an answer.

Here’s my code:

$course_id = $data['course']->ID; //280
$coursePoint = get_field('field_56646f51fa48b', $course_id);

//Get the ID of the Point that was was assign to the Course
if( $coursePoint ): 
	$post = $coursePoint;
	setup_postdata( $post ); 
	$selectedCourseID = $post->ID;
	wp_reset_postdata();
endif;

$value = get_field('field_56644f11d62c3', $user_ID); 

$value[] = array("field_566459158d2ab" => $selectedCourseID, "field_5664598f8d2ad" => "20151206");
