Hello everyone,

Maybe I haven't followed instructions enough, or I haven't done everything by the book (i am still relatively new with the amazing tools of Metabox), but I am not sure that the rwmb_after_save_post i put at the end of a Metabox is working:

I have to sort some dates from a bootstrap-datepicker ($date_fichier, not really real dates fields, but strings actually). Those dates are a sub-field from a group ($pieces_jointes_et_dates). After carefully reading the documentation, and had being vigilant about the id to put into, I don't think there is any results, maybe because of the denomination of the id. If someone could have a lead, here's the code:

add_action( 'rwmb_pieces_jointes_et_dates_after_save_post', function( $object_id ) {
    $dates_to_sort = rwmb_meta( 'pieces_jointes_et_dates');
    if ( ! empty( $dates_to_sort ) ) {
        foreach ( $dates_to_sort as $group_value ) {
            $dates_to_sort = isset( $group_value['date_fichier'] ) ? $group_value['date_fichier'] : '';

            //TODO Sorting dates function goes here:
            asort($dates_to_sort);
            update_post_meta( $object_id, 'pieces_jointes_et_dates', $dates_to_sort );
        }
    }
} );

Hi Ben,

Can you please share the code that creates the group field and subfields on your site?
pieces_jointes_et_dates and date_fichier

You can also refer to this topic to know how to get group field and update subfield value in a group

Of course, here's the part of the MetaBox used for that:


        [
                'name'        => __( 'Group', 'kallyas' ),
                'id'          => $prefix . 'pieces_jointes_et_dates',
                'type'        => 'group',
                'collapsible' => true,
                'default_state' => 'expanded',
                'save_state' => true,
                //'group_title' =>  'Pièce intitulée {pieces_jointes}, importée le:  '. '{date_fichier}',
                'group_title' =>  'Importée le:  {date_fichier}',
                'clone'       => true,
                //'clone_default' => false,
                //'clone_as_multiple' => false,
                'sort_clone'  => true,
                'clone_default' => false,
                'add_button' => esc_html__( 'Ajouter une autre pièce jointe', 'kallyas' ),
                'fields'      => [
                    [
                        'name' => __( 'Pièce(s) jointe(s)', 'kallyas' ),
                        'id'   => $prefix . 'pieces_jointes',
                        'type' => 'file_upload',
                    ],
                    [
                        'name' => __( 'Date de dépôt du fichier', 'kallyas' ),
                        'id'   => $prefix . 'date_fichier',
                        'type' => 'bs_date',
                        //'std'  =>  'Entrez ici la date de saisie de la pièce',
                        'js_options' => array(
                            'format' => "dd/mm/yyyy",
                            'endDate' => "today",
                            'startView' => 0,
                            'minViewMode' => 0,
                            'maxViewMode' => 2,
                        ),
                        'required' => 1,
                    ],
                ],
            ],

Hi Ben,

So do you want to sort the cloneable group based on the subfield value (date)? Meta Box does not support a field type bs_date so I'm not sure what exactly the field value is but the main goal is, you need to update the group value outside the loop. For example:

add_action( 'rwmb_pieces_jointes_et_dates_after_save_post', function( $object_id ) {
    $group_values = rwmb_meta( 'pieces_jointes_et_dates', '', $object_id );
    if ( ! empty( $group_values ) ) {
        foreach ( $group_values as $group_key => $group_value ) {
            $dates_to_sort = isset( $group_value['date_fichier'] ) ? $group_value['date_fichier'] : '';

            // do something here to update the subfield value for each clone group
            $group_values[$group_key]['date_fichier'] = '9/2/2022';
        }
    }
    //update the whole group value
    update_post_meta( $object_id, 'pieces_jointes_et_dates', $group_values );
} );

hi ben06,

you can use the following code for sorting your group by date

add_action( 'rwmb_pieces_jointes_et_dates_after_save_post', function($object_id){

    $pj = $_POST['pieces_jointes_et_dates'];
    //sorting by date with usort 
    usort($pj, function($a, $b) {
        //convert date_fichier DD/MM/YYYY with datetime to get a timestamp that you can sort
        $a_date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', $a['date_fichier']);
        $b_date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', $b['date_fichier']);
        return $a_date->getTimestamp() - $b_date->getTimestamp();
    });

    //Then update the whole group value
    update_post_meta($object_id,'pieces_jointes_et_dates', $pj );
} );

Have a nice day 🙂

Hi Luong,

bs_date is one of my creation, it's a custom field based on Bootstrap datepicker, wich is, in my opinion and experience, far better than jqueryUI datepicker.

Maybe you could have a look on it for a later implementation on MB ?

Bootstrap DatePicker

by the way, thanks for all your fantastic works
have a nice day,
Kevin
