Connection and repeater issue

[dimahali]

i am getting following error while querying for repeater

Call to a member function get() on null

here is my query $post->acf->repeater('activity_details')

i guess it is because of not getting type of field required in Repeater class fetchFields function

In repeater.php following function is calling get on $field which is null
as   FieldFactory::make is returning null becuse of type not found

protected function fetchFields($fieldName, Builder $builder)
    {
        $fields = [];
        foreach ($builder->get() as $meta) {
            $id = $this->retrieveIdFromFieldName($meta->meta_key, $fieldName);
            $name = $this->retrieveFieldName($meta->meta_key, $fieldName, $id);

            $post = $this->post->ID != $meta->post_id ? $this->post->find($meta->post_id) : $this->post;
            $field = FieldFactory::make($meta->meta_key, $post);

            $fields[$id][$name] = $field->get();
        }

        return $fields;
    }

another issue is when i try to query image following error occurs

QueryException in Connection.php line 729:
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'main_site_db.postmeta' doesn't exist (SQL: select * from `postmeta` where `post_id` = 275 and `meta_key` = _wp_attachment_metadata limit 1)

i have created seprate connection as below

'wp' => [
            'driver'    => 'mysql',
            'host'      => 'localhost',
            'port'      => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
            'database'  => env('DB_DATABASE', 'localhost'),
            'username'  => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
            'password'  => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
            'charset'   => 'utf8',
            'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
            'prefix'    => 'kiu_',
            'strict'    => false,
            'engine'    => null,
        ],

and added connection to post class

namespace App;

use Corcel\Post as Corcel;

class Post extends Corcel
{

    protected $connection = 'wp';

}

but still getting this error

If i change table prefix in laravel default connection which if for laravel error disapears but i get another error by laravel complaining about prefix..

i have same database for both laravel and wordpress but i am using prefix for only wordpress tables and laravel tables are without prefix...

@dimahali hey! try to set your wp connection name to wordpress or corcel. Corcel checks for both connection names by default ;-)

Thanks @jgrossi it worked but what about repeater issue? I am getting the same issue Call to a member function get() on null

[dimahali]

when i change following function in Repeater.php

protected function fetchFields($fieldName, Builder $builder)
    {
        $fields = [];
        foreach ($builder->get() as $meta) {
            $id = $this->retrieveIdFromFieldName($meta->meta_key, $fieldName);
            $name = $this->retrieveFieldName($meta->meta_key, $fieldName, $id);

            $post = $this->post->ID != $meta->post_id ? $this->post->find($meta->post_id) : $this->post;
            $field = FieldFactory::make($meta->meta_key, $post);
            $fields[$id][$name] = $field->get(); //old line
            $fields[$id][$name] = ($field) ? $field->get() : $meta->meta_value; //new line
        }

        return $fields;
    }

i get result but i am not getting image, instead id of image as below

Collection {#1860 ▼
  #items: array:2 [▼
    0 => array:5 [▼
      "sub_title" => "sadf"
      "sub_title_urdu" => "dsaf"
      "image" => "473"
      "details" => "sadf"
      "details_urdu" => "adsf"
    ]
    1 => array:5 [▶]
  ]
}

i guess we are not getting field type in the following line

FieldFactory::make($meta->meta_key, $post);

hey @jgrossi any update?

Still a problem. Setting connection name to 'wordpress' or 'corcel' has no effect.

This was the solution for me (my repeater contained images) https://github.com/corcel/acf/pull/84/commits/9ee12a3f13962f988d679a902ead9e6ee298157c

Hopefully they will merge the PR soon. For the moment I have to modify the code directly or use a local repo.
