af_get_field not working with sub fields inside "Group" field

[tyrann0us]

Hi @fabianlindfors, thank you for this great plugin!

I noticed that af_get_field won't work if the field type is set to "Group". Example: Field of type "Group" called "field" has a sub field called "sub_field". How am I supposed to access the sub field? af_get_field( 'field[sub_field]' ) does not work, neither does af_get_field( 'sub_field' ).

advanced-forms/api/api-forms.php

Lines 55 to 56 in 12e950b

	// Also search sub fields if field is clone
	if ( 'clone' == $field['type'] && isset( $field['sub_fields'] ) ) {

If I change the condition to if ( isset( $field['sub_fields'] ) ) { then af_get_field( 'sub_field) works.

Would it be safe to change the condition as mentioned? Thanks!

I think that would work! I implemented your suggested changes with commit e30e128.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I think there is a problem when you have a group that owns another group.

Example :

1 ACF :

who has a acf dog (see 2 ACF)

2 ACF :

Who has a acf owner (see 3 ACF)

3 ACF :

If i do :

af_get_field("civilite") => Return false

When i see the data :

We do not go through the group

to correct I add:

if ( $sub_field_name == $field_key_or_name ) { return $sub_field_value; }elseif( $sub_field_name == 'groupe'){ foreach ($sub_field_value as $sub_field_name_2 => $sub_field_value_2) { if ( $sub_field_name_2 == $field_key_or_name ) { return $sub_field_value_2; } } }

for the future it would not be judicious to use the indentifiants and not the names like key?
