Hi,

I have some Piklist group add_more fields (se code bellow). I access these fields data from my custom theme. Any newly saved group add_more fields are not accessible anymore from my custom functions… Looking at the database shows that what used to be saved by Piklist 0.9.5v like this:

a:4:{
  s:12:"single_photo";a:2:{i:0;a:1:{i:0;s:3:"162";}i:1;a:1:{i:0;s:3:"160";}}s:11:"photo_title";a:2:{i:0;s:4:"test";i:1;s:4:"test";}
  s:18:"store_availability";a:2:{i:0;a:1:{i:0;s:0:"";}i:1;a:1:{i:0;s:0:"";}}s:17:"photo_description";a:2:{i:0;s:4:"test";i:1;s:4:"test";}
}

Is now saving this way:

a:2:{
  i:0;a:4:{s:12:"single_photo";a:1:{i:0;s:3:"162";}s:11:"photo_title";s:4:"test";s:18:"store_availability";a:1:{i:0;s:0:"";}s:17:"photo_description";s:4:"test";}
  i:1;a:4:{s:12:"single_photo";a:1:{i:0;s:3:"160";}s:11:"photo_title";s:4:"test";s:18:"store_availability";a:1:{i:0;s:0:"";}s:17:"photo_description";s:4:"test";}
}

This is a problem because it will break any custom code…
for example I used to get the first image file of add_more field this way:

$folder_content = get_post_meta($post_id, 'folder_content_group', TRUE);
$photo_id = $folder_content['single_photo'][$_SESSION['photo_count']][0];

Now all I’m getting are undefined indexes… and I have to update all my fields and all my custom code as well like this to get my theme to work:

$folder_content = get_post_meta($post_id, 'folder_content_group', TRUE);
$photo_id = $folder_content[$_SESSION['photo_count']]['single_photo'][0]'

I admit this is an improvement, it is more intuitive now because data is saved as an add_more serialized array now rather than based on fields first

You might be aware of this already but just in case: this might be a big problem for custom production sites because even if you have a script that'll update all fields, the tricky part will be each developer custom code...

Perso, as long as this is not going to change again, I'm fine, since I do not have huge stuff in production yet

I support you anyways in this adventure that'll move us out of beta soon

Cheers!
