file field path with Meta Box Group

Hi Long,

Thank you for getting back to me.

It's interesting because it looks like I get the path key when I use a custom folder with the file field when not using it within a group.

So does that mean that if I am using it in a group, I can only get the URL and need to derived the path from the URL? The reason I need the path is because I want to do some processing on the file after it is uploaded to the server.

Thanks.

Hi Long,

Maybe I am not understanding correctly. But I created a test field group with this code.

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'create_watch_fields' );

function create_watch_fields( $meta_boxes ) {

  $post_id = null;
  if ( isset( $_GET['post'] ) ) {
    $post_id = intval( $_GET['post'] );
  } elseif ( isset( $_POST['post_ID'] ) ) {
    $post_id = intval( $_POST['post_ID'] );
  }

  $meta_boxes[] = [
    'title'       => 'Watch Details',
    'id'          => 'watch-details',
    'post_types'  => 'watch',
    'fields'      => [
      [
        'name' => 'Name',
        'id'   => 'watch-name',
        'type' => 'text',
      ],
      [
        'name' => 'Watch Video',
        'id'   => 'watch-video',
        'type' => 'file',
        'upload_dir' => WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/watchvideos/' . $post_id . '/',
        'max_file_uploads' => 1,
        'force_delete' => true,
      ]
    ]
  ];

  return $meta_boxes;
};

In the postmeta table, I see the meta_value with the URL only.

And then I use rwmb_meta( 'watch-video' ) to get the meta object.

There is a path key in the return object with the custom path.

{"http:\/\/lwpdigicomp.local\/wp-content\/watchvideos\/417\/sample.mp4":{"icon":"","name":"sample.mp4","path":"\/Users\/paultsung\/Local Sites\/lwpdigicomp\/app\/public\/wp-content\/watchvideos\/417\/sample.mp4","url":"http:\/\/lwpdigicomp.local\/wp-content\/watchvideos\/417\/sample.mp4","title":"sample","edit_link":""}}

So is this not suppose to happen when I use a custom upload folder for the file field?

Thanks.
