Array User Field

[Sradesign]

Hi

I have another problem like always I want to have a repetitive field for each user for example we call that field (MT) each user may have numbers of (MT) with different values in his account like:

Name: client number 1   MT1: 1213 MT2: 1214

Name: client number 2   MT1: 1216 MT2: 1217 MT3:1218

Name: client number 3   MT1: 1216

how to setup this scenario and how to add this MT's to user accounts like. and also how to get them in a loop.

If you're talking about the frontend I can suggest talking a look at this: http://adamwathan.me/2016/04/06/cleaning-up-form-input-with-transpose/

In the backend you'll probably use repeaters or pagetables (FieldtypeMultiplier would work, too, for a single repeatable field).

I have problem now with reading the data from repeater. see the below image my repeater have one entity now.

but when I try to read it like this :

<table width="100%" id="registrations" class="table table-hover table-light dataTable dtr-inline" role="grid" aria-describedby="registrations_info" style="width: 100%;">
<thead>
<tr>
	<th>VF-ID</th>
	<th>Name</th>
	<th>Family</th>
	<th>Country</th>
	<th>Phone</th>
        <th>MT4</th>
	<th>Action</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
     $registrations = $users->find("include=hidden,roles=member");
	foreach($registrations as $register){
?>
<tr>
	<td><?php echo '<span class="badge badge-danger bg-blue btn-block">VF-' . $register->id . '</span>'; ?></td>
	<td><?php echo $register->fname; ?></td>
	<td><?php echo $register->lname; ?></td>
	<td><?php echo $register->country_of_citizenship; ?></td>
	<td><?php echo $register->phone; ?></td>
	<td>
	<?php 
		foreach($register->mt4 as $mt4) {
			echo $mt4->platform;
		}
	?>
        </td>
	<td><?php echo '<a href="/user-details/id/'.$register->id.'" class="badge badge-danger bg-blue btn-block">Edit</a>'; ?></td>
</tr>
	<?php
        }
	?>
</tbody>
</table>

it shows nothing

How can I access my repeater data it changed the name of nested fields by itself.

Any thought guys ? I'm kinda stuck in this.

[LostKobrakai]

It does look like it should work. What does "$register->mt4->count()" return?

[Sradesign]

it shows 0

But as you can see the last guy have 2 MT4.

[LostKobrakai]

Does $pages->get(1227)->platform work? It seems like the repeater field doesn't correctly load it's content/pages.

[Sradesign]

yes that works.

[LostKobrakai]

The last thing to try would be if theres a difference between $page->getFormatted('mt4') and $page->getUnformatted('mt4'). 

[Sradesign]

echo $page->getFormatted('mt4');
echo $page->getUnformatted('mt4');

doesn't show anything.

[LostKobrakai]

You'd need to use var_dump() to actually see what's returned.

[Sradesign]

I do this :

var_dump($page->getFormatted('mt4'));
echo "<hr>";
var_dump($page->getUnformatted('mt4'));

and it shows NULL for both.

[LostKobrakai]

Ah, did you really do $page? In your case the page seems to be $register.

[Sradesign]

I did try with $register like this:

var_dump($register->getFormatted('mt4'));
echo "<hr>";
var_dump($register->getUnformatted('mt4'));

and even like this:

var_dump($users->get(1213)->getFormatted('mt4'));
echo "<hr>";
var_dump($users->get(1213)->getUnformatted('mt4'));

both gives me thousand of line which is impossible to check.mind you I have 53 field in each user page.

[LostKobrakai]

I'm mostly interested in the class (get_class() will make it shorter) and if it's a PageArray in the ->count(). Also $register is sufficient.

[Sradesign]

this will return RepeaterPageArray

echo get_class($register->getFormatted(mt4));
echo "<hr>";
echo get_class($register->getUnformatted(mt4));

and this one nothing :

echo get_class($register->getFormatted(mt4)->count());
echo "<hr>";
echo get_class($register->getUnformatted(mt4)->count());

[LostKobrakai]

Ok, so it seems really like the repeater does just not pick up it's pages for whatever reason. For the record, which pw version are you using?

[Sradesign]

2.7.0

[Sradesign]

any thoughts how I can fix the problem ?

[tpr]

What if you use include=all, or check role set to false (sorry, on mobile, don't know the correct term for the latter)

[Sradesign]

I tried nothing changed.

[Sradesign]

I still got the problem with repeaters can anyone help in that or I should go with pagefield which make my job harder to create the pages each time then import them to my user details pagefield. that's a bit ugly

[LostKobrakai]

I'd look on github and the forums if other do also have issues with repeaters in the user template. There are some foggy memories, that there might have been others, but I've not much time to look myself right now.

[Sradesign]

I can see one inconsistency between my repeaters and what rayan always shows in the pictures

this is rayan's one and in my case is like the below I mean the title of fields are with id and added _repeater I don't know if that make any difference or not but why is different.

[LostKobrakai]

That's what happens if there are no labels supplied. If you have labels, than this might be correlated to the overall issue.
