I have similar issues on a site I’m developing. I think @herry is onto something.

Why not create a simple mechanism for lazy loading repeater items on request?

This could be activated using a filter and would hide all of a repeters fields until a “show fields” link is clicked.

This should be pretty easy to implement and we would be able to stop ACF from loading and saving hundreds of files every time a page is edited.

It would solve all (most) performance related problems that backend users are experiencing due to having to many repeater (or equivalent) fields.

You need to include this on your page:

<style type="text/css">

.acf-map {
	width: 100%;
	height: 400px;
	border: #ccc solid 1px;
	margin: 20px 0;
}

</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {

/*
*  render_map
*
*  This function will render a Google Map onto the selected jQuery element
*
*  @type	function

*
*  @param	$el (jQuery element)
*  @return	n/a
*/

function render_map( $el ) {

	// var
	var $markers = $el.find('.marker');

	// vars
	var args = {
		zoom		: 16,
		center		: new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0),
		mapTypeId	: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
	};

	// create map	        	
	var map = new google.maps.Map( $el[0], args);

	// add a markers reference
	map.markers = [];

	// add markers
	$markers.each(function(){

    	add_marker( $(this), map );

	});

	// center map
	center_map( map );

}

/*

*/

function add_marker( $marker, map ) {

	// var
	var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng( $marker.attr('data-lat'), $marker.attr('data-lng') );

	// create marker
	var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
		position	: latlng,
		map			: map
	});

	// add to array
	map.markers.push( marker );

	// if marker contains HTML, add it to an infoWindow
	if( $marker.html() )
	{
		// create info window
		var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
			content		: $marker.html()
		});

		// show info window when marker is clicked
		google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {

			infowindow.open( map, marker );

		});
	}

}

/*
*  center_map
*
*  This function will center the map, showing all markers attached to this map
*
*  @type	function
*  @date	8/11/2013
*  @since	4.3.0
*
*  @param	map (Google Map object)
*  @return	n/a
*/

function center_map( map ) {

	// vars
	var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();

	// loop through all markers and create bounds
	$.each( map.markers, function( i, marker ){

		var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng( marker.position.lat(), marker.position.lng() );

		bounds.extend( latlng );

	});

	// only 1 marker?
	if( map.markers.length == 1 )
	{
		// set center of map
	    map.setCenter( bounds.getCenter() );
	    map.setZoom( 16 );
	}
	else
	{
		// fit to bounds
		map.fitBounds( bounds );
	}

}

/*
*  document ready
*
*  This function will render each map when the document is ready (page has loaded)
*
*  @type	function
*  @date	8/11/2013

*  @return	n/a
*/

$(document).ready(function(){

	$('.acf-map').each(function(){

		render_map( $(this) );

	});

});

})(jQuery);
</script>

Then use this code when you want to display the map

<?php 

$location = get_field('access_map');

if( !empty($location) ):
?>
<div class="acf-map">
	<div class="marker" data-lat="<?php echo $location['lat']; ?>" data-lng="<?php echo $location['lng']; ?>"></div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Me to!

Last night i dreamed that ACF Pro and WPML were fully compatible.

In my dream i just created some fields, connected them to my home page and when I visited the translated version of the page the fields were there.

With shaking hands I filled out the fields and submitted the page.

My fingers trembled as I clicked the “visit page” link and my heart was filled with utter and complete joy when I saw that the data showed up on the front end.

Oh what a beautiful dream it was.
