Hi:

Is there a way to wrap a group of fields inside of a custom div block?

We tried using custom_html to set a 'div' at the top and bottom of the group of fields. But that doesn't work because metabox / browser seems to add a closing div automatically in the custom_html field.

Thanks!

Hello,

If you want to wrap a field in a custom HTML code, please use the field settings before and after. Read more in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/field-settings/ (Advanced tab).

Hi:

Thanks for the response. However, I'm asking about using PHP code to do this, not using the UI or AIO.

I thought about trying to sue the rwmb_being_html or rwmb_wrapper_html filters but those seem to only apply to a full group instead of a subset of fields within the group.

Thanks.

Hello,

You can use those filters to wrap the subfield in a custom HTML, for example:
```
add_filter( 'rwmb_subfieldID_wrapper_html', function( $html, $field, $meta ) {
    $html = '<div class="my-class">'. $html . '</div>';
    return $html;
}, 10, 3);
```

Hi:

I think something got lost in translation.

I'm looking to wrap a SUBSET of fields with a custom div. So, something like this.
```
// CUSTOM HTML
array(
    'type' => 'custom_html',
    'std' => __( '<div class="myclass">', 'my-metaboxes' ),
    'id'   => 'myid',
),

/* Some fields here... */

// CUSTOM HTML
array(
    'type' => 'custom_html',
    'std' => __( '</div>', 'my-metaboxes' ),
    'id'   => 'myid2', 
),
```
You'll notice that the fields specifed by 'some fields here' are being wrapped in a custom div.
That's the effect I've trying to achieve.

I don't think the suggested use of the rwmb_subfieldID_wrapper_html filter will allow for this?

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, using the filter rwmb_subfieldID_wrapper_html or custom_html field, you need to add the close tags for all open tags. Only the field settings before and after can support your case.
