CFS Loop Field – imports to wp_postmeta but not quite

    Using your blog post on ACF repeater and this question, I’ve gotten close to getting the repeating field to work.

    There are 3 cfs fields that I’m doing a test on. the CSV looks like:
    cfs_short_description cfs_model_number cfs_model_capacity
    this is the short description 1,2,3 a,b,c

    Code is this:

    // Create containers
    $meta_array = array();
    $repeater_array = array();

    foreach ($meta as $key => $value) {

        /* If custom filed name is "textfield"
        if ($key == 'textfield') {
            // Convert field name to ACF Field key
            $meta_array['field_52528d5b8ad30'] = $value; */

        // If custom field name is "select"
        if ($key == 'cfs_model_number') {
            // To import to the "Select" field, split the comma divided data to array
            $repeater_array['model_number'] = preg_split("/,+/", $value);

        // Create array data to import to the Repeater Field
        } elseif ($key == 'cfs_model_capacity') {
             $repeater_array['model_capacity'] = preg_split("/,+/", $value);

        // Pass through normal (not ACF) custom field data
        } else {
            $meta_array[$key] = $value;
        }
    }
    // Insert Repeater data
    $meta_array['model_numbers'] = $repeater_array;

    Net result on the import is that the short description gets added correctly to wp_postmeta with: key=short_description value=this is the short description.

    The looped field gets the meta_key of model_numbers added with this in the value:
    a:2{s:12:"model_number";a:3:a{i:0;s:1:"1";i:1;s:1:"2";i:2;s:1:"3";}s:14:"model_capacity";a:3:{i:0;s:1:"a";i:1;s:1:"b";i:2;s:1:"c";}}

    I’ve tried adding the cfs_ preface to the fields and that resulted in a fatal error.

    Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    just found a second post by dalemoore

    And this worked! The code ended up being:
    `function rsci_meta_filter( $meta, $post, $is_update ) {

    // Show the raw post data from csv
    echo ‘

    ';
    print_r($meta);
    echo '

    ‘;

    // Create containers
    $meta_array = array();
    $model_numbers = array(); //array to go into CFS loop field model_numbers

    //separate fields at commas
    $models = array_map(‘trim’, explode(“,”, $meta[‘cfs_model_number’])); // separate at comma and trim whitespace
    $values = array_map(‘trim’, explode(“,”, $meta[‘cfs_model_capacity’])); // separate at comma and trim whitespace

    $c=0;
    foreach ($models as $key => $value) {
    $tmp = array();

    $tmp[‘model_number’] = $models[$c];
    $tmp[‘model_capacity’] = $values[$c];

    // Combine all of tmp
    $model_numbers[] = $tmp;
    $c++;
    }

    // Insert repeater data
    $meta_array[‘cfs_model_numbers’] = $model_numbers;

    // Show the converted data
    echo ‘

    ';
    print_r($meta_array);
    echo '

    ‘;

    return $meta_array;

    }
    add_filter( ‘really_simple_csv_importer_save_meta’, ‘rsci_meta_filter’, 10, 3 );’
