Custom Defined Lists Glitch Outputting Their Array

[adleviton]

I've set up a pod that has a few custom defined lists and they are displayed as multi-select checkboxes.

When the first item is checked, you'd get an array returned as expected:

["community_amenities"]=>
    array(4) {
      [0]=>
      string(4) "Pool"
      [2]=>
      string(10) "GolfCourse"
      [14]=>
      string(4) "Park"
      [17]=>
      string(9) "Clubhouse"
    }

However, when the first item is not checked (and more than one item is checked), you receive a multi-dimensional array.

 ["community_amenities"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      array(3) {
        [2]=>
        string(10) "GolfCourse"
        [14]=>
        string(4) "Park"
        [17]=>
        string(9) "Clubhouse"
      }
    }

Anyone else experiencing this?

How/where/when are you retrieving these arrays?

[adleviton]

$mypod = pods( 'communities', 3 ); 
$community_amenities = $mypod->get_field('community_amenities');

Above is what I have in a Wordpress template file.

I'll see what I can find out, it's on my today/tomorrow pile.

Be sure to use ->field not ->get_field

@adleviton: have you had the opportunity to test if the field() method works properly for you? This could still be an issue with the deprecated get_field() but if field() works properly we can probably punt this to 2.7.1.

[adleviton]

Using $mypod->field instead of $mypod->get_field works just fine. Thanks!

@sc0ttkclark: the remaining question keeping this open was whether we have a backcompat issue with get_field() that needs action.

No further discussion happened :D @sc0ttkclark can we close it?
