ACF repeater filed images

  • Hi there. Great plugin up front.

    I have Broadcast working great across multiple child sites, but when I post content using the Advanced Custom Fields repeater field, The post editor in the child post just shows blank images. The parent post in the main site works great, but it’s the broadcast that’s off. The repeater actually works, meaning all the repeated image fields are there, repeated. They’re just blank.

    I checked the actual custom fields that get passed (I use image IDs in ACF) and the problem is that the child post custom fields are filled with the IDs of the PARENT SITE’s attachment IDs. Don’t know if that makes much sense.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Handling ACF image fields, both normal and repeater fields, requires the use of the ACF-compatability plugin from the Broadcast Premium Pack.

    I forgot to say that I am using the premium pack. And I’m on PHP 5.4.

    Actually, there’s other image fields that do get transmitted correctly. Regular image fields. It’s the Image fileds INSIDE a repeater field that break.

    Which version of the premium pack are you using?

    v2.15 is the one with support for repeater fields.

    If you don’t have 2.15, then contact me to get it.

    I’m actually on version 2.17.

    At some point I added acf as a post type to be broadcasted. Maybe that messed something up?

    There is no Premium Pack v2.17

    Check the version number on one of the premium plugins.

    Adding the acf post type should not have influenced the broadcasting of ACF images at all.

    Well that makes me feel dumb. Ok so I just updated to Premium Pack 2.15, and the images ARE getting broadcast but now they don’t show on the front end. All posts in the admin show their repeater field images, but when I see the post on the main site’s front end the repeater field images show, but on the children sites they’re missing.

    I tried a few things out and the ACF loop detects there are fields through “if get_field” but on “while has_sub_field” it simply doesn’t read the fields.

    SO I guess I’ll assume this is an ACF plugin bug, and not WPbroadcast’s. So I guess this is solved?

    any pointers though would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much Edward.

    Well I found another error. I also have a repeater field for multiple files, not images. Uploaded PDFs actually and they’re not getting broadcast.

    First: if the images are being correctly broadcast and are visible in the admin, then Broadcast works as advertized.

    Anything front-end related is something that the theme developer will have to have a look at and see to it that the ACF standards are followed.

    Second: I have not accounted for attached files. If you send me an e-mail I’ll see what I can do about adding support for attached files.

    If you are adding PDF support try to get it to work with the Metabox plugin as well. I’m in desperate need of this. I really don’t want to have to switch to ACF at this point.
