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.
textarea
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?
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;
?>
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 } }

Hi Long,
