Forums

Having no luck getting what I need from the forum. I need a simple example of a form that includes repeater fields and saves all repeater rows to a table. I have a simple example attached that will save the first iteration only. I'm missing something, but wherever it's documented, whether the forum or the manual, I can't find it.
Willing to pay for a simple working example I can learn from.

I've attached the backup of my attempt.

Hi farscape,

It depends on how you have named your fields inside the repeater, here is a quick example:

#1- your repeater area name is "my_repeater"
#2- your field name inside the repeater is "group[{var:my_repeater.key}][my_field]
#3- you need a "loop event" with the data provider set to "{data:group}"
#3- then a data save inside the loop event with the data provider set to {var:loop_event_name.row}

Your table fields names should match the fields names inside the repeater of course, so for this example you need a table field named "my_field"

Best regards

Max,

Thanks. Using your notes above, I changed my test form as follows, but still get multiple copies of the first record, so there's still something wrong. Details below, and the backup of my test form is attached.

1. My repeater is "area_repeater10"
2. My field name is "group[{var:area_repeater10}][email]"
3. My loop event data provider is set to "{data:group}"
4. My loop event is "loop_event10". The data save inside the loop event has the data provider set to: "{var:loop_event10.row}".

When I run the form and enter two email addresses, the debugger shows two emails in the first array but only the first email in the second array.

First array:

Array

    [option] => com_chronoforms6
    [cont] => manager

            [1] => Array

Ok, THIS time my form is attached.

Thanks!

Thanks Max. That did it! turning "auto save fields" in the Save Data action did the trick.
