Repeatable Custom Field Only Showing First Entry

    I have successfully created a custom post type with this plugin, and have added several custom fields to it. I have a template that is working well for all of the custom fields, except the one field that I have marked as repeatable.

    This repeatable field {_booth} appears to be working when adding/editing the custom posts. I can add and delete multiple booths to any custom post. But when the custom posts are displayed on the front end, the template is only displaying the first entry in {_booth}.

    I am using the list view if that makes any difference.

    Are there any special attributes or arguements I need to apply to the shortcode or template in order to make a repeatable field display all of the entries?

    I am using My Content Management ver 1.4.2

    I think I have found the issue in mcm-view-custom-posts.php on lines 160-164:

    if ( is_array( $value[0] ) ) {
	foreach( $value[0] as $val ) {
		$cfield[] = ( $is_email )?apply_filters('mcm_munge',$val,$val, $custom ):$val;
	}
	$p[$key] = explode( ", ", $cfield );

    I’m not sure if $value[0] is ever an array. In my instance it is always a string, and I end up with $value[0], $value[1], etc. I have hacked my copy of mcm-view-custom-posts.php to change lines 160-164 to:

    if ( count( $value ) > 1 ) {
	$cfield = array();
	foreach( $value as $val ) {
		$cfield[] = ( $is_email )?apply_filters('mcm_munge',$val,$val, $custom ):$val;
	}

    And my shortcode and template now seem to be working, but I am not sure if there are any other effects of this code change.

    I’ll check this out – I know there have seemed to be some various inconsistencies in the depth of arrays, so I’ll try and work that out more reliably…
