CUSTOM FILE (ACF) https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/repeater/
I have a problem:
situation
I have an ACF repeat field, inside I have only one URL field that repeats (the idea is to have many videos for each product).
The ACF repeat field (comes out as numbers) and the URL fields (I manually put 6 of them on Bulker) have been inserted on Bulker and in itself their modification works.
The problem is in front:
I display these URLs through my own code that calls the ACF fields. on the product sheet.
-If I insert the urls from the product sheet everything is ok,
-If I insert glu url from the bulker (putting the number of videos uploaded in the repeater field), the videos are not called (as if they were not saved, but are seen by the bulker).
- If I modify even just by inserting an empty line of the Acf repeater in the woocommerce product sheet and save, everything is solved.
I would like the videos to be seen immediately, without having to save the sheet manually for each one.
Any ideas?

This is a data editing plugin and does not add third-party functionality.
It seems that this functionality uses several fields for one video and in the bulk editor only one field is updated (as it should be) but the auxiliary field for the video is not updated, which leads to an error
opz. I forgot. I recently purchased the other plugin (product filter). while this one's support has expired.
Patience was to see if a solution could be found to lighten the work.
Hello
The license key is OK
To solve this problem you need to know the data update mechanism for this custom functionality. And maybe code customization can fix this.
So, I tried to test with your function
add_filter('woobe_before_update_product_field')
The ACF repeater structure update is: (guide)
____________________________
// save a repeater field value
$field_key = "field_12345678";
$value = array(
array(
"sub_field_1" => "Foo",
"sub_field_2" => "Bar"
)
);
update_field( $field_key, $value, $post_id );_______________________________
But I couldn't get it to work!
I found another post that recommended a different code:
update_sub_field( array('repeater', 1, 'sub_repeater', 2, 'sub_sub_field'), 'This value is for repeater row 1, and sub_repeater row 2!' );With this code, even if it is not well structured to save my field (I think it updates a file that does not exist field 1 and I have field 0 because it works as an array)
In the end it works.
The only thing.
I have to manually update the repeater lines:
That is, my VIDEO N that has the metafield"prodott_video_boxripetitore" I have to put the number of videos that I am going to insert. but at least the inserted video appears immediately.
add_filter('woobe_before_update_product_field', function( $value, $product_id, $field_key) {
if( $field_key === 'prodott_video_singolo_url'
|| $field_key === 'prodott_video_boxripetitore_0_prodott_video_singolo_url' || $field_key === 'prodott_video_boxripetitore_1_prodott_video_singolo_url'
|| $field_key === 'prodott_video_boxripetitore_2_prodott_video_singolo_url' || $field_key === 'prodott_video_boxripetitore_3_prodott_video_singolo_url'
|| $field_key === 'prodott_video_boxripetitore_4_prodott_video_singolo_url' || $field_key === 'prodott_video_boxripetitore_5_prodott_video_singolo_url'
) {
update_sub_field( array('prodott_video_boxripetitore', 1), 'This value is for repeater row 1, and sub_repeater row 2!' );
}
//___________________
return $value;
}, 10, 3);
With the code cited above, at least the ACF file repeater is saved correctly and so the videos will be seen immediately. I just have to remember to say how many rows of the acf field repeater to have (that is, put a number in VIDEO N.)
Thanks for the food for thought.
no.. maybe it doesn't work on the online site. on the development site it seemed so.
Hello
Unfortunately, I'm not sure I understood you correctly. Did you manage to solve the problem?
On the development site this code works.
But I'm not sure on the online site. the products present do not update, but they could have a previous incorrect save.
I have to test by creating new products, but right now I'm in another phase of work.
If I solve something, I'll update you.
In the meantime, for anyone who has to manage ACF repeat this post can be useful.
Hello
Great! Thank you for your cooperation
It took me a while to refine the code. but this should work!
obviously I loaded the video fields as a normal acf repeater in a shortcode (I created the shortcode as code and called acf repeater)
I put the shortcode in a tab create new for videos in the single product card. woocomerce has some plugins for tabs (like be rocket Tab Manager).
_____________________________________________
IMPORTANT: only one arch (first empy). New videos must be inserted in numerical sequence otherwise the saving gets messed up due to the array generation.
If we have the Video1,Video2,Video3 field empty:
-insert url in Video1, wait for it to save, then insert in 2, 3 and so on.
- if instead we put url directly in video3.. the array that generates scales the empty spaces and it's a real mess.
if instead we have the Video1,Video2,Video3 full, and you only change the url there are no problems.
Essentially create the videos in numerical order and if you have to delete some videos, scale all the videos so that only the last video is deleted and therefore in the largest number
IMPORTANT 2: with this system, it is important to remove the repeater field from your BEAR custom fields, which will no longer have to be touched manually (otherwise you have to modify it as an array)
in the previous posts I had marked that I had activated it (VIDEO.N), because the number of registered urls came out as a number only.
_____________________________________________
Question:
where does this field come from?: prodott_video_boxripetitore_0_prodott_video_singolo_url.
I looked at how the ="name" of the original ACF file was recorded and I discovered that the url field that I created inside the repeater is saved in this way. each value of the repeater puts a different number.
very simple:
Repeater field -> prodott_video_boxripetitore
under repeater fields (only 1) -> prodott_video_singolo_url
HOW DO I SEE WHAT IS SAVED IN THE VARIABLE?
use a var_dump, like the example below. you can put one before to see how your file repeater is saved at the beginning and one after updating the repeater.
When saving on BEAR, this will reload both the var_dump data and the video url into the field.
BUT DON'T WORRY, you only see the VAR_DUMP DATA once as if they were printed, the saved value is only the video. reloading BEAR you find everything normal.
var_dump('_ Ripetitore Get prima_'.'<pre>', get_field($RIPETITORE_nome, $product_id),'</pre>'.'<br>----------------<br>');
