Repeater issue

[Roberts R]

After working with PW for quite so time i came to my first issue:

After testing around I added pages "part" with few fields and repeater.

$p = new Page();
$p->template = 'part';
$p->parent = '/parts/';
$p->name = $pageName;
$p->save();
$p->of(false);
....
// adding repeater
$store = $p->pStores->getNew();
$store->sCount = $sCount;
$store->sPartNr = $sName;
$store->sPrice = $sPrice;
$store->sStore = $pages->get(24464)->id;
$store->save();
$p->pStores->add($store);
$p->save();

added about 1600 items. Later on I deleted them Using 

foreach ($pages->get('/parts/')->children as $p){
        wire('pages')->delete($p);
}

Now i can't add any repeater items to new pages I create using code above. It gives me error

Can't save page 0: /1473421482-73-1/: It has no parent assigned

 

Now I try to delete repeater field and recreate it. But it says that

 Can't delete template 'repeater_pStores' because it is used by 1685 pages.

But there are no pages.

I looked in DB. and found that repeater fields still hold values for pages that does not exists.

[EDIT]: found that pages still exist in db. So i deleted them manually. Recreated field but same problem stands.

Im not sure in witch step I fcked up, but can someone point fingers at me and tell what i did wrong or why its not working?

I did run deletePages and AddPages on same run. It was reason for my reapeater not saving for some reason.

deletePageChildren($pages->get('/parts/'));
addAPEPArts();

I can't figure why pages didn't get deleted from datebase. But I guess  that is story for another day.

I just hit this same issue as well.

My resolution was to break up my script into two separate files (first one deletes a bunch of pages, second one adds a bunch).

I have the same problem. I can confirm it is not really a bug but unwanted behavior @ryan.

It occurs, that when you delete pages and create ones (with the same name? in the same run, there is a problem with the correct page to be found. As the page still exists.

Is there a way to delete a page not after the entire page call is done? I supposed there is some smart mechanism to make only one SQL query, instead of synchronously deleting pages.

Thanks in advance.

Right now, I have to resort to two page calls.

I have the same issue.
When I delete all pages (that have a repeater) from a parent and then add new pages (with repeater) to the same parent, then only one page is added and I get the same error:

"Can't save page 0: /xxxxxxxx-xx-x/: It has no parent assigned"

In the repeater_field in the DB there is no data, count=0 and a parent_id=0...

Is there any chance this gets resolved anytime soon?  (I guess not since this a thread of 2016 ? )

PS: If I delete the pages in a seperate call and add new pages in a second call, then the issue doesn't happen...

What is the use of an API if you can not delete and then add in one run?  That is what I ask myself...

[KarlvonKarton]

I even tried to delete 1 page (which has a repeater) with the API and add a new page (which has a repeater) in 1 run...  It doesn't work...

Why is this issue not getting resolved?

Please abstain from reporting your own post to call for attention. If you have an issue that you want resolved, report in on github and it will be addressed just as all other issues.

And what is this forum for then?

[diogo]

I didn't ask you to not post in the forum, you should feel free to do so. I asked you to not report your own posts to the moderators.

I did not report my own post, but the one of someone with the same issue from 2016.
My only goal is to get this resolved, but I don't use Github.
All issues got resolved via the forum until now.  I don't know why this issue is not.

[diogo]

Ok, my bad. Still, reporting post serves a completely different purpose. Hopefully this will be picked up by someone that can address the issue, but the best is to post the issue on github. You would have to create an account there, and of course that's up to you, but you don't need to use git to do it, only fill a form on the site.

Maybe it has to do with that reported issues on github get more attention (at least from Ryan), and that issues on github are much better to handle in that workflow then in the forums here. The forums here are prior to support people with (maybe at first: "undefined issues" for them) that may be uncovered as wrong usage or something different. And sometimes it uncovers to be an issue in the core code base. Those one need to be filed at github to get recognition in the issue resolving workflow!

If you want to contribute to this project, you can file an issue at github into the issue repository, using the issue template there. A detailed explanation also is there to help everyone who is willing to participate in this community project.
