Solved Javascript error

Hi,

I also have this error and this did not fix the error.

I am confused because this works well when I click preview form, but when I put the shortcode in a text editor, the form show up, the button as well, but the repeater is not working!

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of undefined
    at gfRepeater_repeatRepeater (gf-repeater.min.js?ver=1.0.9:1)
    at HTMLSpanElement.<anonymous> (main.js:69)
    at HTMLSpanElement.dispatch (jquery-1.8.3.min.js:2)
    at HTMLSpanElement.u (jquery-1.8.3.min.js:2)

Now, I added this :

if (empty($value)) {
    $value = array();
    $value['formId'] = $form_id;

But the error is still the same.

The Begin repeater has Repeater : ID field 1
The end repeater has Repeater : ID field 3

Now, in the console, I’ve tried to look what is in gfRepeater_repeaters and this is what showed up :

console.log(gfRepeater_repeaters)
VM3008:1 {}__proto__: Objectconstructor: ?

So this returns an Object, but in gf-repeater.min.js, I see this :
gfRepeater_repeaters[e][r]
Where e represents the first parameter passed to gfRepeater_repeatRepeater() and r represents the second one. So my guess is that this is an Object ( gfRepeater_repeater ) and when we try to access gfRepeater_repeaters[e][r], it returns undefined.

Knowing that, I still have no clue on how to work around this!

If you have any idea on this please reply.

I ended up just installing the latest version from the project’s GitHub page and all is well on my end. Give that a shot!

The development link return 404 error :
https://codeload.github.com/kodie/gravityforms-repeater/zip/development

Do you still have the zip file and would it be possible for you to email it to me?

Try this: https://github.com/kodie/gravityforms-repeater/archive/master.zip

There is no javascript error anymore, the buttons does nothing. I’ve inspected element and see that there are no onClick action on the buttons.

It does work on preview mode on the form, but still not working when I put this on the website!

That is a strange behaviour!

If the preview works I would assume this is an error within your theme. What theme are you using? Have you tried reverting back to a default theme, like Twenty Seventeen?

This is a custom theme, all the default themes have been deleted (I don’t know why, I have not developed this theme myself) Also, I have FTP access and cPanel, I do not have access to staging environment so it is complicated to try changing theme as it will affect the display.

If you don’t mind, I could maybe create an editor account for you so you can take a look to see what really happen?

Sorry, I don’t have time currently to delve into a custom theme. I’d recommend creating a staging site so you can test, or put up a temporary “Down For Maintenance” message for 1 minute while you swap themes and check. That’s the only way to know for sure where you problem is.

Ok no problem, thank you very much for the hints, I will try that out and come up with the results!

Happy to try and help. Good luck!

For me, the javascript error appeared to be coming from an incorrect element getting confused for a repeater child element. Then when the JS tries to parse it, it’s completely unexpected, and ruins our day.

For me the fix came around line 222, just beneath the list of the variable declarations, just add a simple check to make sure ‘childInfo’ is defined.

if (childInfo === undefined) {
return false;
}
