cloneable oEmbed fields doesn't treat empty data as "NULL" when saving it both on core table and custom table. instead, it's saving "a:0:{}" value.

Also on meta builder please add 1 field where we can insert our custom table name and also include it when user need to export the code (you can show it only when user has the Meta Custom Table extension activated).
"'storage_type' => 'custom_table','table' => $input[usr_table_name]".

Thanks, great framework so far!

Hi,

When a field is cloneable, the value should be always an array. That's why the plugin stores value as a:0:{} - the serialized of empty array.

I'll add more options to the Meta Box Builder extension.

But does it makes more sense if you just put a null value because we currently have nothing to fill on it instead of putting an empty array. it more easier to sort a null value in case someday we want to find out and listed which row has null value rather than search it using this "a:0:{}"

I'll waiting for the extension update, thank you!

Hi again,

We've just updated the extension with able to save NULL value to the table. Now if the value is an empty string or empty array, it will be saved as NULL. Please update the extension and let us know how it goes.
