Custom HTML Form and Taxonomies

Hi,

The extension MB Frontend Submission only supports displaying a classic submission form. You can try to use the action hook rwmb_frontend_before_form and rwmb_frontend_after_form to add some HTML code and add your own CSS code to re-style the form.

Please get more details here https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-frontend-submission/#hooks-1

Hi,

Here is an example shortcode to create the custom post type and custom fields on the frontend

[mb_frontend_form id="meta-box-id" post_fields="title,content" post_type="post-type-slug"]

And the code to add HTML code to wrap the form

add_action( 'rwmb_frontend_before_form', function( $config ) {
    echo '<div class="my-custom-class">';
} );

add_action( 'rwmb_frontend_after_form', function( $config ) {
    echo '</div>';
} );

Hi,

You can create the field taxonomy to add the taxonomy for the post on the frontend. Other custom fields will work like that.

For example: the code to creates a meta box and custom fields

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );
function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = '';
    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'title'  => __( 'Post Meta', 'your-text-domain' ),
        'id'     => 'post-meta',
        'post_types' => ['page'],
        'fields' => [
            [
                'name' => __( 'City', 'your-text-domain' ),
                'id'   => $prefix . 'city',
                'type' => 'text',
            ],
            [
                'name'       => __( 'Taxonomy', 'your-text-domain' ),
                'id'         => $prefix . 'taxonomy_j6xupbwl47k',
                'type'       => 'taxonomy',
                'taxonomy'   => ['category'],
                'field_type' => 'select_advanced',
            ],
        ],
    ];
    return $meta_boxes;
}

Frontend shortcode: [mb_frontend_form id="post-meta" post_fields="title,content" post_type="page"]

Hi,

Yes, you can use other custom fields in the frontend submission form. Just add the meta box (field group) ID to the shortcode. See this reply https://support.metabox.io/topic/custom-html-form-and-taxonomies/#post-30721
