Single Meta Save: Fields missing

    Hi,

    I tried out the feature “Single Meta Save” for a customer.

    Latest versions von WP, ACF Pro and ACFE (and Timber).

    First: It speeds up saving a page with a lot of ACF fields (in our case up to 1000) alot – most times. Sometimes saving the page is slow again.

    Second: It is a bit annoying, that many fields are delivered in a different structure, so that I have to change the PHP and/or Twig code. The structure is better than with pure ACF, but it changes, when enabling this feature. Therefore I need both variants in my code and switches like “if (is_array($modules)) { … } else { … }”.

    Third: After updating the code step by step, one of the last pages did not work. ACF/ACFE is not returning some subfields. ??

    Here is my debug output, where I can see several fields missing, sometimes partly:

    Hmpf… No screenshot pasting possible here? ??

    So here is my debug output:

    array ( 'acf_fc_layout' => 'abo_page', 'view' => 'landingpage', 'opener_image' => 18201078, 'teaser' => array ( 'left' => array ( ), 'center' => array ( 'bubble' => array ( 'text_large' => '10', 'text_small' => '5 für 10!', ), ), 'right' => array ( ), 'special' => array ( 'bubble' => array ( ), ), ), 'links' => array ( 0 => array ( 'name' => 'Studententarif', 'elements' => array ( 0 => array ( 'typ' => 'text', 'text' => 'Sie studieren? Dann nutzen Sie unseren', 'icon' => false, 'abo_slug' => '', 'zeitraum_slug' => '', ),

    … and so on. Fields are missing in “teaser.left”, “teaser.center”, “teaser.center.bubble” (1 of 3 is missing), “teaser.right”, “teaser.special” and “teaser.special.bubble”.

    The debug output screenshot:

    These are the ACF fields / this is the input (part of):

    The checkbox field (with two possible values) is also missing (internal name “enabled”).

    The ACF structure is quite complex, because I implemented a module system using ACF flexible content (= “modules”) with several modules. This page has only one module configured (an “abo page” module).

    Ahhh… when I rename the field “teaser” (e.g. to “teasers”) and fill out all subfields again, then it works.

    When I do this, then the customer has to do this on production system after deployment.

    So it’s not a problem with the field structure, but maybe with converting existing values!? About the two “bubble” fields, which are returned: I can not change the value. I can, I see the new value in the backend, but in the frontend I still get the old values. Weird.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback. The Single Meta Save works correctly on complex Flexible Content here, I also use it on many production websites. There’s probably something wrong in your configuration.

    I cannot really help you with this flexible content, as it is far too much complex and I’m not in your head ?? In order to isolate the problem, you should create a new flexible content with more simple structure and try to trigger the bug, then export the field group so I can download & test it on my side.

    Regards.

    It will be easier to discuss and share screenshots there ??

    Hello,

    Just to let you know that the latest 0.8.6.3 Update include a rework of the Single Meta Save codebase. It may fix your issue, please update the plugin and let me know.

    Regards.

    I “solved” the problem by renaming the field, because the update to 0.8.6.1 did not help. So I cannot reproduce it anymore. And therefore I think, that creating “a new flexible content with more simple structure” would not reproduce the problem.

    Thanks for your feedback!

    Hello,

    The last Update 0.8.6.3 introduced a new codebase for that module, which is now even more integrated in ACF logic. I also tested it on my complex flexible content page builders. There shouldn’t be any problem.

    Anyways, I’m glad to hear that your issue is solved now.

    Have a nice day!

    Regards.
