    I make a portfolio website with all my projects. With Custom Fields I fill all my project fields. I will make a group with tasks in a project

    #1 : website development : a lot of text
    #2 : photography : a lot of text
    #3 : SEO : a lot of text

    Do I make a group in the custom fields, make this group-field clonebale and the add three different subfields to the group?

    Hi Cees,

    Do you need to add more #1, #2, #3 items? If yes, you can create 3 cloneable fields textarea or wysiwyg.

    If not, just create 3 fields textarea or wysiwyg. It is based on your requirements.

    Hi,

    Yes I need sometimes one, sometimes three etc. But each clonable row has three or four fields:
    - taskname
    - task-number
    - tasktext

    I is true that I have to use a group for this?

    Hi,

    I think creating a cloneable group is a good way. You can add more tasks with a set of tasks for each row.

    It won't display at the front-end. What is wrong? I have a group_id pj_taken and two subfields pj_taak and pj_taak_text. I also don't understand the ??'' in the code sample from your website.

    $group = rwmb_meta( 'pj_taken' );
if ( empty( $group ) ) {
}

$output = '';

// Sub-field title.
$title = $group['pj_taak'] ?? '';
$output .= '<h3 class="my-title">' . $title . '</h3>';


// Sub-field description.
$desc = $group['pj_taak_text'] ?? '';
$output .= '<div class="my-description">' . wpautop( $desc ). '</div>';
echo $output;

    ?>

    Hi,

    If it's the cloneable group, you need to use a loop to iterate through group elements. For example:

    $group_values = rwmb_meta( 'pj_taken' );
if ( ! empty( $group_values ) ) {
    foreach ( $group_values as $group_value ) {
        $value = isset( $group_value['pj_taak'] ) ? $group_value['pj_taak'] : '';
        echo $value; // Display sub-field value
    }
}

    Get more details on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-group/#getting-sub-field-values

    Hi Long,

    Sorry.. it gives a Eval()'d code error and I can't figure out why.
