Support › MB Settings Page › Group repeater in settings pageResolved
I am struggling and probably out of my depth so could do with a pointer.
I am using AIO plugin.
I have a settings page with 3 tabs. On one of them I have created a cloneable group field where the day of the week along with two times can be selected multiple times (ie entering variable Opening Hours).The produced php code looks like:
<?php
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );
function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
$prefix = '';
$meta_boxes[] = [
'title' => __( 'Business settings hours', 'your-text-domain' ),
'id' => 'business-settings-hours',
'settings_pages' => ['business-data'],
'tab' => 'Hours',
'fields' => [
[
'name' => __( 'Open Hours', 'your-text-domain' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'open_hours',
'type' => 'group',
'clone' => true,
'clone_as_multiple' => true,
'max_clone' => 7,
'fields' => [
[
'name' => __( 'Day', 'your-text-domain' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'day',
'type' => 'select',
'options' => [
'Monday' => __( 'Monday', 'your-text-domain' ),
'Tuesday' => __( 'Tuesday', 'your-text-domain' ),
'Wednesday' => __( 'Wednesday', 'your-text-domain' ),
'Thursday' => __( 'Thursday', 'your-text-domain' ),
'Friday' => __( 'Friday', 'your-text-domain' ),
'Saturday' => __( 'Saturday', 'your-text-domain' ),
'Sunday' => __( 'Sunday', 'your-text-domain' ),
],
],
[
'name' => __( 'Open', 'your-text-domain' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'open',
'type' => 'time',
],
[
'name' => __( 'Close', 'your-text-domain' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'close',
'type' => 'time',
],
],
],
],
];
return $meta_boxes;
}
From the settings page, the add more works to create extra, but upon save settings the page resets and the values do not appear to be saved (they do not seem to be able to override settings in relevant entry of wp_options table.
I then need to print these out in a looped query.
Can you please point me in the right direction?
Hi,
You can try to follow this tutorial to increase the PHP setting max_input_vars
to fix the issue
https://metabox.io/wordpress-custom-fields-not-saving-increase-max-input-vars/
Let me know how it goes.
Thank you. I have tried that without success
What should I look at next?
Hi,
I do not see any issue when adding and saving field values with your code. Please try to deactivate all plugins except Meta Box, MB extensions, switch to the standard theme of WordPress, and run only the code above to add the custom fields to the settings page.
Then re-check this issue.
I have tried that with no luck. I'm sure I must be doing something wrong but unsure what that must be!
Hi,
Please share your site credentials via this contact form https://metabox.io/contact/
I will take a closer look.
COntact form sent. Thanks
Resolved.
The problem happens due to there are two custom fields that have the same ID on a page.
