Creating new repeater items through front-end form

[onjegolders]

Was just wondering if anyone had any experience adding repeater items to a new page from a front-end form?

The repeater consists of two fields, one a page field and the other a simple text value.

I'm unsure how I'd go about adding those values on a new page save()?

Thanks, as always.

Okay, think I'm almost there, I didn't actually realise there was proper docs about this http://processwire.com/api/fieldtypes/repeaters/ so apologies there!

Having a few issues implementing multiple repeater items from the same form and using js to append but slowly getting there.

I've been working on something similar recently too. Let us know how it goes and if you run into any issues.

Thanks Ryan

I ended up using a combination of jquery append (and remove) and the following for loop in PHP.

$total = 0;

for ( $i=0;$i<count($input->post->invoice_billable);$i++) {
${'rp'.$i} = $page->invoice_line->getNew();
${'rp'.$i}->invoice_billable_line = $input->post->invoice_billable[$i];
${'rp'.$i}->invoice_billable_amount = $input->post->line_value[$i];

In case that helps anyone out.
