Hello!
With an Ajax function (onclick) I’m trying to update a field in a nested repeater, meeting some conditions, but it is not working. Have tried many ways, but I can’t get it to work.
Here’s my code:
function updatemogelijkheid(){
$mogelijkheid = $_POST['mogelijkheid'];
$vestiging = $_POST['vestiging'];
if( have_rows('vestigingen', 'option') ) : while ( have_rows('vestigingen', 'option') ) : the_row();
$vestiging_naam = get_sub_field('vestiging_naam');
if($vestiging_naam == $vestiging){
if( have_rows('mogelijkheden', 'option') ) : while ( have_rows('mogelijkheden', 'option') ) : the_row();
$datumentijd = get_sub_field('datum_en_tijd');
$gereserveerd = get_sub_field('gereserveerd');
if($datumentijd == $mogelijkheid) :
update_sub_field('gereserveerd', 'gereserveerd' ? '0' : '1', 'option');
endif;
endwhile; endif;
}
endwhile; endif;
die();
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_updatemogelijkheid', 'updatemogelijkheid' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_updatemogelijkheid', 'updatemogelijkheid' );
Can some one please help me with this?
Have you tried using the field key when doing the update? If the field does not already have a value then update_field() will fail to save the value. See the information on using the field key on this page https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/update_field/
Thanks for your answer. Yes, I already tried to update the field based on the key. Also this doesn’t work.
I had a look at the database, how the values are stored. I’ve found a work around by doing this:
update_option( 'options_vestigingen_'.$parent_i.'_mogelijkheden_'.$child_i.'_gereserveerd', 'a:1:{i:0;s:2:"ja";}' );
Sadly my work around doesn’t work for the function ‘delete_row()’.
Based on a date in one of the subfields, I check if a date is past the current date and I want to remove that specific row. Only the function delete_row does not work on nested repeaters?
Here’s my code:
function deletePastRows() {
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Amsterdam');
$currenttime = new DateTime();
$parent_i = 0;
if( have_rows('vestigingen', 'option') ) : while ( have_rows('vestigingen', 'option') ) : the_row();
$child_i = 0;
if( have_rows('mogelijkheden', 'option') ) : while ( have_rows('mogelijkheden', 'option') ) : the_row(); $child_i++;
$rowtime = get_sub_field('datum_en_tijd');
$rowtime = new DateTime($rowtime);
if($rowtime < $currenttime) {
delete_row( 'mogelijkheden', $child_i, 'option' );
}
endwhile; endif;
$parent_i++;
endwhile; endif;
}
unfortunately, I don’t have any experience with update_row or delete_row and I’d say that you’re problems are definitely due to having nested repeaters. More than likely the nesting will need to be reflected in the $selector argument, but I don’t really know for sure.

Is there someone else who could help?

Did you get a solution?
And if so, what is it.
I really like to know, because I’m having difficulties adding a new row in a nested repeater. Seems like nested repeaters are not very well covered by ACF.
