Best way to add post data in a block

Hi Thomas,

If the field is registered in the block, please use the helper function mb_get_block_field() to get the field value. Read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-blocks/#render_callback

<h3>{{ mb.mb_get_block_field( 'office' ) }}</h3>

If the field is registered as the post meta, please use the helper function rwmb_meta() to get the field value. Read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/functions/rwmb-meta/

<h3>{{ mb.rwmb_meta( 'office', '', post_id ) }}</h3>

Hi Thomas,

1. Using the PHP template or "code" area in the builder are the same purpose to render the template for the block. The difference is you need to use Twig code in the "code" area. Please read more here https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-views/#twig

2. You need to get the post ID from the selected value first, suppose that the member is a post field https://docs.metabox.io/fields/post/

{% set member_id = mb.mb_get_block_field( 'member' ) %}

then get other field values associated with that member ID

{{ mb.rwmb_meta( 'member_field', '', member_id ) }}

Hi Thomas,

If you get the PHP code of the field group and put it to the file functions.php of the theme or a plugin for implementation, you should use the PHP template (render_template setting) or PHP function (render_callback setting) to display the block.
