Images get lost, when I remove a repeater

[sekru]

Hello,

it ist frustrating: if I remove an item of a repeater with help of the API, all images in my page get lost. I have absolutly no idea, why.

    $gruppe = (int) $input->get->gruppe;
    $mitarbeiter = (int) $input->get->mitarbeiter;
    $m = $pages->get($mitarbeiter);
    $m->of(false);
    $delGruppe = $m->gruppenzuordnung->get("gruppe=".$gruppe);
    $m->gruppenzuordnung->remove($delGruppe); // If I remove this line, no images are lost
    $m->save();

The lost image is in $m->image. It has nothing to do with the repeater $m->gruppenzuordnung. They remain on the server as file, but not in the database.

Has any one an idea?

thx,
sekru

I'm not sure what's causing your issue, but does it make a difference if you save only the repeater field rather than the whole page?

$m->save('gruppenzuordnung');

Which one is the repeater? gruppe? You are trying  to remove the repeater form its own item, as far as I can see. $m is a Page object, not a (Repeater)PageArray if I'm correct:

$m->gruppenzuordnung->remove($delGruppe);

So incidentally it is probably the image this line removes because of a matching key of the image:

You need to work on the RepeaterPageArray:

http://kongondo.github.io/ProcessWireAPIGen/devns/class-ProcessWire.PageArray.html#_remove

like this: $delGruppe->remove($m); // or $gruppe->remove($m); // depending on what you want to achieve

This line helped me:

$m->save('gruppenzuordnung');

Tank you, guys!
