It was really useful so far, but there’s this problem I’ve been trying to find a workaround. Is there a way to use get_field_duplicate function with “Related Type” dropdown fields?

I am using some “related type” fields which can be duplicated, and they are duplicated in editor, and I want to use them in an Array but it doesn’t seem to return an array. I’m using code below to test it:

$related_entry = get_field_duplicate(‘related_fields’);
if (is_array($related_entry)){
echo ‘it is array’;
} else {
echo ‘it is not array’;
}

Any ideas?

When I created the writepanel, I started of with it being of type ‘post’, and it should have been a page, so I corrected it.

After that some weird things happened with the ‘slug’ – it kept adding 1 (curriculum-vitae-1,curriculum-vitae-2,curriculum-vitae-3 etc…)

The reason that get_group didn’t work is that while the writepanel was attached to post->id 12, all slugs pointed to post->id 6. No wonder get_group couldn’t find any panels/fields in 6, when they were all in 12.

I am sorry that I cannot reproduce the exact steps to trigger this behaviour. I made a dump of the DB, that I’d be happy to send to you if it would be any help.

One question though – I have created a page-write panel called Curriculum Vitae.

It holds a group cvEntry (duplicatable)

cvEntry has two fields: cvEntryYear (custom dropdown) and cvEntryText (multi-line text), both are non-duplicatable

When I try to get the values in my template – i use this code:

$fields = get_group(‘cvEntry’);

foreach($fields as $field){
echo $field['field1'][1].” —-> “.$field['field2'][1].”";
}

I get “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() etc…”

When I try to echo or print_r $fields, it seems that $fields is empty.

I am certain that it is not an issue with capitalization – I doublechecked that.

I am using MF 1.3.1 downloaded from within the WordPress plug-in manager. and WordPress 2.9.1

Any ideas?

I will add this fix in the next release.

Thanks
