ACF repeater (split terms)

Hi,

I’m importing a CSV file that contains a column called “option” (e.g., a+b+c…). This corresponds to an ACF repeater field. How can I configure your plugin so that each option is separated into its own repeater row, instead of being grouped together as one?

 

Thanls for help.

Hi Sylvain,

Can you give me some more information about this, are you able to attach your csv file, explain what parts of the csv file should be used in the repeater, and possibly the acf field group that contains the repeater.

Thanks
James

Sure,

Here is the attached CSV file, OPTIONS is a repeater ACF field like this (see capture screen "acf repeater config").

My issue is the following: in the OPTIONS field, each option is separated by a "+" symbol. During import, each option should be separated and the + symbol should not appear (I was able to achieve this easily with WP All Import – see screenshot "wp all import config").

 

With the IMPORT WP PRO plugin, all my options end up in the same ACF repeater field, and the + symbol is still there.

 

I should be getting the result shown in the “need this result” screenshot.

 

Is it clearer now?

Hi Sylvain,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

At the moment the only way to change the delimiter when importing into an acf repeater field from a csv file is by using the following code, this will set the delimier to +:

add_filter('iwp/acf_repeater_csv_delimiter', function ($delimiter) {
    return '+';
});

I have also attached this as a zip for convenience.
