Repeatable section with nested sections

[sudheer-ranga]

Hi,

I followed this gist.

https://github.com/michaeluno/admin-page-framework/blob/3.7.0/example/admin_page/advanced_usage/nesting/APF_Demo_AdvancedUsage_Nesting_SectionA.php

I created a parent section and it has 3 sub sections.

$this->addSettingSections(
  'my_parent_slug',

  array(
    'section_id'  => 'section_id_parent',
    'tab_slug'    => 'my_tab_slug',
    'title'       => 'Repeat this section',
    'repeatable'    => true,
    'collapsible'       => array(
      'toggle_all_button' => array( 'top-left', 'bottom-left' ),
    ),
    'content'       => array(
      array(
        'section_id'    => 'section_id_1',
        'title'         => __( 'Section 1', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
      ),
      array(
        'section_id'    => 'section_id_2',
        'title'         => __( 'Section 2', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
      ),
      array(
        'section_id'    => 'section_id_3',
        'title'         => __( 'Section 3', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
      ),
    )
  ),
  array(
    'section_id'  => 'dont_repeat_this',
    'tab_slug'    => 'my_tab_slug',
  )
);

Here is the field section

$this->apf->addSettingFields(
  array('section_id_parent', 'section_id_1'),

  array(
    'field_id'      => 'section_id_1_field_1',
    'type'          => 'text',
    'title'         => 'Section 1 Field 1',
  ),
  array(
    'field_id'      => 'section_id_1_field_2',
    'type'          => 'text',
    'title'         => 'Section 1 Field 2',
  ),
  array(
    'field_id'      => 'section_id_1_field_3',
    'title'         => __( 'Section 1 Field 3', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
    'type'          => 'select',
    'default'       => 'none',
    'label'         => array(
      0 => __( 'Plain', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
      1 => __( 'Red', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
      2 => __( 'Green', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
      3 => __( 'Blue', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
      4 => __( 'Yellow', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
      5 => __( 'Orange', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
    ),
    'repeatable'    => true
  )
);

Similarly repeated for section 2 and 3

When I use repeatable in section_id_parent the repeat icon appears for each sub section along with the parent section.

How to make the parent section Repeat this section repeatable and not individual sections?

Attaching a screenshot.

Also, when I use inline_mixed type in the "Form Fields" section it doesn't show up.

array(
        'field_id'      => 'checkbox_number_select',
        'type'          => 'inline_mixed',
        'title'         => __( 'Checkbox, Number & Select', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
        'content'       => array(
            array(
                'field_id'        => 'enable',
                'type'            => 'checkbox',
                'label_min_width' => '',
                'label'           => __( 'Do something in', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
            ),
            array(
                'field_id'        => 'interval',
                'type'            => 'number',
                'label_min_width' => '',
                'default'         => 3,
                'attributes'      => array(
                    'style'     => 'width: 80px',
                ),
            ),
            array(
                'field_id'        => 'interval_unit',
                'type'            => 'select',
                'label_min_width' => '',
                'label'           => array(
                    'hour'    => __( 'hours', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
                    'day'     => __( 'days', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
                    'week'    => __( 'weeks', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
                ),
                'default'         => 'day',
            ),
            array(
                'field_id'      => '_text',
                'content'       => __( 'to do something else.', 'admin-page-framework-loader' ),
            ),
        ),
    ),

This just shows the title Checkbox, Number & Select but nothing below it. I want to make this inline mixed field repeatable. What am I doing wrong.

Nice finding. I wasn't aware of it.

When a section has a nested item, it cannot be repeatable. I do not mind calling this behavior a bug. However, this cannot be fixed right away as it involves lots of changes. Sorry.

You may resort to nested fields instead to repeat a set of fields which includes different field types.

As for the inline_mixed field type issue, can you create a new topic for it as it seems to be a different issue? Thanks.
